Responsibilities
as students
Undertake a full-time study load
As per Student Visa conditions, international students must maintain a full-time study load. Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes or workshops or may fall behind in the studies and not complete their course.
Our lectures and tutorials will be scheduled over two days per week.
Maintain satisfactory academic progress
DHE monitors the academic progress to ensure that help is offered to those who are experiencing difficulties as early as possible. DHE requires students to maintain satisfactory academic progress. This is a student visa condition. Lack of academic progress may result in exclusion from studies which will effect the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and possibly your student visa. It is important to be aware of the Academic Progress policy and seek help when required.
Pay tuition fees on time
Your Student Visa requires you to maintain sufficient funds to support yourself and to pay for your studies in Australia. If you do not pay your tuition fees on time, DHE may cancel your enrolment and notify the Department of Home Affairs for further action.
Notify us if there is a change of address
Upon arriving in Australia, you must advise DHE of your new residential address and telephone number. You must also inform us of any subsequent changes to your residential address. You are responsible to ensure that your residential address details are always up-to-date with DHE’s records. This is part of your Student Visa conditions and is a vital requirement of the ESOS legislation. Should you breach a Student Visa condition in relation to your attendance or academic performance, DHE may then send a warning letter to your residential address.
