Centrelink requirements: If you’re getting a student payment from Centrelink, you need to notify them within 14 days of any changes to your enrolment. Report your change of circumstances to avoid getting an over-payment. 

International students: Changing your study plans may have visa implications so you should discuss any changes with your School and RMIT Student Connect as early as possible via the RMIT Connect portal below. For more information, see changes to your study plans. 

The main types of non-standard enrolment are: 
  • other RMIT studies (i.e. substituting an RMIT course that isn’t part of your standard program structure) 
  • cross institutional outbound (i.e. completing a course at another Australian institution) 
  • on campus to online (i.e. completing an RMIT course/unit offered via OUA). 
Contact your school via the recommended channel below to discuss non standard enrolment and to seek approval.

International students: If you’re on a student visa, you’re required to enrol in a 100% load each semester and complete your study within the expected program duration on your Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE). If you’re granted credit, your expected program duration may change and this may also affect your student visa. See Student visas for more information.

Under normal circumstances, you are not permitted to add classes after the last day to add, although you may request permission to do so in special circumstances. You can request permission in Enrolment Online. 
  • Log in to Enrolment Online. 
  • Select Add next to the relevant classes. 
  • Follow the prompts to apply for permission.

In most cases the Statement of Enrolment (SoE) can be used. The SoE is an official statement from RMIT University confirming your program and course enrolment, and the census date that is relevant to each of the classes in which you are enrolled. You can print a copy of your SoE in Enrolment Online.
  • Log in to Enrolment Online and select the My student record button
  • Under Enrolment details, select View Statement of Enrolment (SoE)
Sometimes the government or other official agencies will request specific letters or forms to be completed confirming a student’s enrolment in addition to the SoE. A fee is associated with these requests and you can find more information by visiting the Prove your enrolment page. To request a specific letter, please contact us via the RMIT Connect portal below.

Graduating students who have guests visiting from outside Australia may need to provide evidence of their graduation for their guests to apply for a visa. When you apply to graduate and confirm your attendance at the Melbourne Graduation Ceremony, you'll receive a confirmation email. This email can be used as supporting documentation for visa applications. 


If you are eligible, the International Student Holiday Letter is sent twice per year, in March and August from 2024, to your RMIT student email address. 

To find your International Student Holiday Letter: 
The International Student Holiday Letter states the official RMIT semester break dates and your expected program completion date. This letter can be used by international students (student visa holders who are subject to the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act) who:
  • are required to present proof of RMIT’s official holiday periods to employers for work purposes
  • need to request a visa to visit countries outside Australia
