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.
