Change of Course or Institution in Australia

Eligibility Criteria for Changing Course or Institution

Changing your course or institution in Australia is a significant decision that requires careful consideration of various factors, including your student visa conditions. To ensure a smooth transition, it's essential to understand the eligibility criteria and follow the correct procedures.

• 1. Minimum Study Requirement: You must have completed at least six months of your principal course as per your student visa conditions.
• 2. Visa Implications: Changing your course or institution may affect your visa status. It's crucial to consult with a registered migration agent to understand the potential impacts.
• 3. New Course Enrollment: Ensure that the new course is registered with CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students).
• 4. Institution Transfer: If transferring institutions, obtain a release letter from your current institution unless you have a valid reason for not doing so.
• 5. Financial Considerations: Review the financial implications, including tuition fees and living expenses, associated with the new course or institution.
