Change in visa status
International students who commenced their course on a student visa must notify the University immediately when they are granted a different visa.
Temporary residency
If you are granted a temporary visa (other than a student visa) after commencement of your course, you should forward a copy of your passport and visa to:
International Student Services
International Centre on Swanston Street
F: +61 3 9349 3204
E: iss-visa@unimelb.edu.au
Although you will remain an international full-fee student, your study entitlements will change when you are granted a temporary visa other than a student visa.
Permanent residency
International students who are granted permanent residency must present their permanent visa to the University’s Student Administration office and change their student status to that of a local student. More information on Australian fee-paying and Commonwealth supported fee places is available from Student Administration.
