Conditions for deferment, suspension and cancellation of enrolment

La Trobe University is obliged to notify the Department of Education, Employment, and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) if it is deferring, intermitting, suspending or cancelling a student’s enrolment. These changes to enrolment can affect a student’s visa. DEEWR will record this change to enrolment and send the information to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

La Trobe University can only permit a student to intermit from their studies (defer their studies for up to 12 months) on the grounds of: compassionate and compelling circumstances; where La Trobe University is unable to offer a prerequisite subject; or where a student is unable to commence their course due to delays in receiving their student visa.

A student’s enrolment may be cancelled due to non-payment of tuition fees. A student being found guilty of Academic Misconduct, or inappropriate conduct, or who has conditions set by the Academic Progress Committee due to lack of academic progress, may have their enrolment suspended. A student who has had their enrolment suspended by the University has twenty working days to appeal their suspension. Once twenty days have elapsed, or the internal appeals process has been completed and the decision to suspend upheld, a student will be reported to DEEWR. For more information on University policy and regulations see:

www.latrobe.edu.au/policy

It is important that students read the information about studying and living in Australia, temporary accommodation and airport reception. You can view this online at:

It is your responsibility to ensure you obtain a valid passport and student visa before you enter Australia for study purposes. Only those who fall under Assessment Level 1 can be granted their initial student visa while in Australia. Visa assessment levels are determined by country of citizenship. Most students must obtain a student visa before they travel to Australia.

Please note that as a condition of a student visa you are required to complete your course in the minimum time, as stated on your electronic-Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE). The University requires you to be enrolled in a full-time load, unless:

there are “compelling or compassionate circumstances”,•you have problems with academic progress or,•you undertake subjects (units) at times other than Semester •1 or 2, which count towards your course credits, e.g. during Summer School.

Please contact your nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission (Embassy, High Commission or Consulate General) for more information: www.immi.gov.au

Assistance with visa applications is also available from La Trobe University’s representatives:

www.latrobe.edu.au/international/contact

Please note The University is unable to provide advice concerning immigration matters.

Health insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover)

As a condition of a student visa, all international students must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) before they accept their offer. OSHC provides medical and hospital cover for international students and their dependants while in Australia. La Trobe currently has an agreement with OSHC Worldcare, a private health fund, for the provision of OSHC. La Trobe University’s policy is that students purchase health cover for the duration of their course. This one-off payment saves students needing to renew their OSHC each year and avoids any price increases during that period.

OSHC rates for 2009 are:

These rates are subject to change without notice and may increase in 2010.

Please note Commencing students not using OSHC Worldcare must make payment arrangements with that provider directly. If you choose to use a provider other than OSHC Worldcare you must provide proof of OSHC to La Trobe International and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) before your student visa is issued. A list of OSHC providers is available from the Department of Health and Ageing, visit:

www.latrobe.edu.au/international/predeparture/visa

note for norwegian and Swedish students OSHC is not required for Norwegian students, as they are covered by the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme. Swedish students whose insurance is provided by CSN International do not need to take out OSHC; however, Swedish students not covered by the Swedish National Board of Student Aid must purchase OSHC.

Employment

International students can work a maximum of 20 hours per week during semester, or unlimited hours during official University vacations if they have Permission to Work by the DIAC. This includes any employment, volunteer work or work placement. The exception to this is where a placement or internship is a registered part of your course. Since April 2008, all student visas are granted with work rights. Please note In some university courses, study demands allow little time for employment. Part-time work and vacation work is not always available and students should not depend on this form of income to cover living expenses or tuition fees.

Students under 18 years of age

Students under the age of 18 must have their parents (or legal custodian) nominate a guardian who resides in Australia prior to the DIAC considering their student visa application. Parents must lodge the “Nomination of a Student Guardian” form (157N) available via the Embassy in their home country. DIAC requires this guardian to be over 21 years old, an eligible relative and of good character. If a student under 18 does not have an eligible relative in Australia they will normally be required to defer enrolment until after they turn 18 years of age. An exception is where a student has enrolled in a course at the La Trobe University International College prior to articulating to a La Trobe University Bachelor’s program. In exceptional circumstances, the University may permit direct entry into a Bachelor’s program. In such cases, the student will need to be supported by the services of the La Trobe University International College-approved care provider agency or non-relative (close family friend) or cousin before the University will issue an eCOE and the Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation/Welfare (CAAW) form:

www.latrobe.edu.au/icollege/apply

Students with school-aged children

If you have school-aged dependants accompanying you to Australia, it is a visa requirement that you must enrol them in primary or secondary school and pay school fees, unless you are the recipient of an Australian government scholarship.

Tradition of Excellence

La Trobe University, the third university to be established in Victoria, Australia, commenced teaching in 1967. The University is named after Governor Charles Joseph La Trobe, the first Superintendent of the Port Phillip district from 1839 to 1850 and the first Lieutenant-Governor of the new colony of Victoria from 1851 to 1854. A significant contributor to the modern state of Victoria, Charles La Trobe supervised the establishment of self-government, the public library, an art gallery, a university (the University of Melbourne) and the development of the goldfields.

The University’s academic year is divided into two semesters. Standard semester dates are set out in the table below. Check the subject information to see if your course has a non-standard start date.
