Key dates
You should plan to submit your international student application well in advance of the application close date. Acceptance received after the acceptance by date will be offered a deferral to the next available intake.
There are two different types of international students:
- An onshore student is currently living in Australia with a current visa
- An offshore student is currently living outside of Australia and does not hold a visa.
Whether you are an onshore or an offshore student effects your application and acceptance close dates.
