As an international student, you'll need to keep these important visa requirements in mind.

As per the National Code 2018 visa requirements, you must:

• Maintain full-time enrolment each trimester, which means enrolling into eight subjects per year.
• Only study a maximum of one-third or 33% of your course online
• Complete your course within the timeframe listed on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)

It is also highly recommended that you follow your Course Structure. This will allow you to finish your course within the timeframe listed on your CoE.

If you have any questions on what subjects to select, chat with your Success Coach.

Students are reminded to seek advice from the Department of Home Affairs (Immigration) prior to making any variations on their enrolment as this may impact your Visa.

For Student Visa Changes due to COVID please refer to the below “I am an International Student” section.
