For exchange and study abroad students who have been approved to undertake study at RMIT Melbourne.
Before you enrol
Before you can enrol for exchange or study abroad studies in Melbourne, you must have:
- received and accepted your offer
- received your course request outcome.
How to enrol
To enrol in your exchange or study abroad courses, follow the steps in the Higher education enrolment guide – International students.
When adding classes stated in your Course Request Outcome, search for the course under ‘Class search’.
If you would like to enrol in courses not listed in your Course Request Outcome, you are welcome to do so provided the course(s) has no prerequisite requirements and is available for enrolment in Enrolment Online.
If you would like to enrol in courses not listed in your Course Request Outcome that have prerequisite requirements, attend the Academic Advising Session on Orientation Day. Alternatively, submit an enquiry to the relevant RMIT School or College.
As part of your visa conditions, you must be enrolled in a minimum of 36 credit points per semester. The maximum enrolment load per semester is 48 credit points.
Paying your fees
- Student exchange at RMIT – your home institution has a reciprocal (exchange) agreement with RMIT. As an inbound exchange student, you pay tuition fees for your studies to your home institution, not to RMIT.
- Study Abroad at RMIT – your home institution doesn’t have a reciprocal (exchange) agreement. As a Study Abroad student, you’re responsible for paying the applicable tuition fees directly to RMIT.
While studying at RMIT
- Keep your contact details up to date - It’s important that the contact details on your student record are up to date. Once you have found permanent accommodation in Melbourne, update your residential address by following the instructions to update your personal details.
- If you want to extend your exchange or study abroad studies, contact RMIT Global Experiences.
When you will get your transcript
Once the results have been released for your RMIT semester, you will be given access to your free, certified digital transcript in My eQuals. You will receive an email from My eQuals to your personal email address (the one on your RMIT student record) with instructions to view and share your transcript.
You will then need to share your RMIT academic transcript directly with your home institution. If your home institution asks for RMIT to provide them with your transcript, please ask them to contact RMIT Global Experiences at global.experience@rmit.edu.au.
