She's going to help us understand why we need to provide evidence of student eligibility before enrolling and how to do it. 

Nat: Verifying your citizenship ensures that you enrolled in the right program and also ensures that you actually have the right type of fee assistance. So you can't enrol in courses until you confirm your residency and citizenship status. 

AJ: Now here's what you need to do. 

Nat: So make sure you have your current Australian or New Zealand passport handy. If you don't have any of those things there are some other acceptable documents you can provide. 

AJ: Such as like your Australian birth certificate. 

Nat:  or your citizenship certificate.

AJ: Your name at enrolment needs to be your legal name. So the same name as in your passport.

Nat: That's really important. So now you have the chance to check that it's correct. 

AJ: And update them in the system. Now sit back and wait while the team assesses your eligibility.

AJ: And then you can continue with your enrolment. 

Nat: If you're assessed as eligible you are now in a government subsidised place. 

AJ: Which has a discounted fee. 

Nat: If your program is approved for a Victorian free TAFE place. 

AJ: This will be assessed too. 

Nat: However, this does not guarantee that you've secured a VET student loan. 

AJ: Watch our next video to see how you secure a VET student loan. 

Nat: As always if you're having any further problems please refer to the online enrolment guides. 

AJ: Or ask us on web chat or even give us a call or visit your RMIT Connect location. 

Nat: You can go visit him.
