Planning Your Arrival

Most international students who plan to study in Australia will need a student visa. Once you have accepted your offer and received your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), the next step is to apply for your student visa. We recommend waiting until your student visa has been granted before making any travel plans. Plan to arrive early so you can settle in and attend orientation. 

Watch our video that walks you through what to do after receiving your CoE. This includes applying for your student visa, preparing for enrolment, attending orientation, and checking-in on campus. 

To help you get ready, we have also prepared a pre-departure checklist.
