Supporting documentation required with your application. We also require a Statement of Purpose. Attach the following documents to your application:
The International Students Unit staff will assess your application and if your application is successful we will send you a Joint Letter of Offer for your nominated diploma (or advanced diploma) and the degree. The Joint Letter of Offer will also include a summary of fees which lists tuition fee payments and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Applicants who have not met English language requirements may be required to sit a Skype Interview and may be offered to study an English Course at SuniTAFE to obtain the required English level before commencing their academic course.
If your application is unsuccessful we will send you a letter outlining the reason or reasons you were unsuccessful.
To accept the offer, you must complete the Offer Acceptance forms and pay the fees and charges listed on the invoice. Details of how to pay are included with your offer.
When we receive your payment we will issue you with an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE). You use this document to apply to the Australian Diplomatic Service offshore or the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) in Australia, for your student visa for the whole study duration.
The International Students Unit will endeavour to issue an offer to you, or a representative if you use their services, within one working week* of receipt of your application and all supporting documentation. Delays will be experienced if forms or documentation are incomplete. The processing of your student visa by Department of Home Affairs varies from country to country, so you should check with the local Australian Diplomatic Mission for advice on normal visa processing times.
*Please note: SuniTAFE is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Victorian public holidays.
Under Australian Government student visa regulations, you must register your residential address and phone number with the International Students Unit at SuniTAFE within seven days of arriving in Australia. You must also notify SuniTAFE in writing on the approved form of any changes to your residential address, phone number or email address every time you make a change to any of these contact details. Should SuniTAFE have to issue you with a formal letter to attend an interview at Department of Home Affairs because of unsatisfactory attendance or academic performance, and your residential address registered with SuniTAFE is not current, Department of Home Affairs may automatically cancel your visa, which may result in your removal from Australia.
You must notify SuniTAFE of your intention to move to another institution within seven days of issue of an Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) by your new education provider.
