Before you can add your classes, you need to submit information to RMIT for assessment. This may take some days to complete.
To enrol, please use a desktop or laptop computer, and enable pop-ups in your browser settings.
We recommend you enrol as early as possible to secure your preferred classes and timetable, and to ensure you can access your course materials before classes start.
You’ll find your class start date in your important dates.
The last day to enrol is listed in your important dates as the ‘last day to add classes’.
Some classes may allow enrolments after the last day to add. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
You’ll need to complete these 3 steps before you're ready to enrol.
You must have the following documents and information to successfully enrol.
You will need your current Australian/New Zealand passport (preferred), Australian citizenship certificate, birth certificate or other approved documentation to verify your citizenship. You'll need the same documents to prove your eligibility for a government subsidised place.
IMPORTANT: If you used a different name to apply to RMIT, i.e. not your full legal name as it appears on your document, you’ll have the chance to update it when you log in to Enrolment Online.
If your names don't match, you won't be able to enrol.
Find out how to update your legal name and preferred name options.
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 (also referred to as your RMIT ID) is the letter 's' followed by your student number (excluding any additional letters).
Example: s1234567
Your student number is in your offer email from RMIT.
Your RMIT email address is the letter 's' followed by your student number (excluding any additional letters) and ‘@student.rmit.edu.au’.
Example: s1234567@student.rmit.edu.au
Your student number is in your offer email from RMIT.
You may need to access your email to complete the enrolment process. Find out how to access and use your RMIT email.
New students: Your temporary password is the letter 'p' followed by your date of birth backwards, with an exclamation mark '!' at the end.
Example: If your date of birth is 8 April 1998, then your password is p19980408!
Returning students: Your password is the last password you set while studying at RMIT. We recommend resetting your password if you don't remember it.
Find out more about your login details, password and accessing RMIT systems.
MFA requires a user to provide two factors of verification:
If you’re enrolling in a Certificate I–IV program, you can use your current Commonwealth Health Care Card, Pensioner Card or Veteran’s Gold Card to apply for a VE fee concession.

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.

The USI is a reference number that will give you access to an online record of all of your recognised training and qualifications.
It’s a government requirement that you have a USI to enrol in a vocational education program.
You’ll need ID such as a current passport, full birth certificate or driver’s license. You must use the same ID when you verify your citizenship and identity.
You must use your full legal name to create a USI. Make a note of your USI because you’ll need to provide it when you enrol.
Note: your name must match the order and placement of your full legal name recorded at RMIT. If there’s a discrepancy between your recorded name in the USI Registry and our systems, you won’t be able to verify your USI and enrol.
