Watch this video to get some quick tips before you start enrolling.
To enrol in Enrolment Online, you need to use a desktop or laptop computer and enable pop-ups in your browser settings.
You’ll use your Student ID, RMIT email address and temporary password to access Enrolment Online (RMIT’s enrolment system) and other RMIT systems.
Your student ID is the letter 's' followed by your student number (excluding any extra letters) e.g., s1234567. Your student number is in your RMIT offer email.
Your RMIT email address is your Student ID and ‘@student.rmit.edu.au’ e.g., s1234567@student.rmit.edu.au.
Your temporary password is the letter 'p' followed by your date of birth backwards (YYYYMMDD) with an exclamation mark '!' e.g., p20020418!
After your first login, update your password to something more secure by following the instructions on the RMIT ID and password page.
If you have studied at RMIT before: Your password is the last password you had while studying at RMIT. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it.
You will need one of the following to verify your citizenship:
Read the complete list of acceptable identity documents here.
If your names don't match, you won't be able to enrol. Learn how to update your legal name and preferred name options.
Your USI (Unique Student Identifier) is a reference number that gives you access to an online record of all of your recognised training and qualifications. It’s a government requirement for enrolling in a higher education program.
You will need one of the following forms of ID:
Any discrepancy between your name in the USI registry and RMIT's systems will prevent you from verifying your USI and enrolling.
You will need a Tax File Number (TFN) if eligible to apply for a HELP loan. Your TFN must validate on your loan application. Find out how to validate your TFN with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
If you don’t have a TFN, you can still apply for a HELP loan when you enrol and provide your TFN later, as long as it’s before the census date.
It’s easy to apply for a TFN online, but it can take up to 30 days, so apply now if you don’t have one.
To secure your preferred classes and timetable and to ensure you can access your course materials before classes start, we strongly recommend enrolling as early as possible.
The deadline to add classes is listed as the ‘last day to add classes’ in your academic calendar.
To enrol in your program and add classes, you will need to:
2. Accept the Student Declaration
3. Verify your citizenship and identity
5. Complete the 'Request for a CSP and HECS-HELP form', and apply for optional HELP loans

If you use a different identity document, you will be prompted to email a scan or photo of the document from your RMIT student email address. You will then need to wait up to 48 hours before you can continue to enrol. We will email you when you can continue.
If your name doesn't match, select 'Yes' when prompted in this step. After you have verified your citizenship and identity, you will have the option to register a preferred name different to your legal name.
You will be asked to enter information including:
If you have been offered a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) you will be prompted in Enrolment Online to complete a 'Request for a Commonwealth supported place and a HECS-HELP loan form' (also known as an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form, or eCAF) via the government's eCAF portal.
You must submit this form before you can enrol, even if you are not applying for HECS-HELP.
To apply for a HECS-HELP loan, you must add your validated Tax File Number (TFN) or Certificate of application for a TFN to your form before you submit it.
If eligible, you will be prompted in Enrolment Online to opt-in for a FEE-HELP loan (for full-fee paying students) and/or an SA-HELP loan (to cover your Student Services and Amenities Fee).
Check your eligibility on the Australian Government’s Study Assist website.
If you select 'Yes, I'm interested' for a FEE-HELP and/or SA-HELP loan, you will receive two emails:
Once you have submitted your application in the Government portal with a validated Tax File Number, a loan approval letter will be issued to you the next day in Enrolment Online.
