Complete all steps in this guide if you're an international student enrolling in a certificate, diploma or advanced diploma program.
RMIT student Suvekchya explains the main enrolment steps for international students starting at RMIT University.
You will 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.
This must be a residential address from your home country.
This must be an Australian address to receive your student card and other mail (you don't need to be living at this address).
A correct Australian residential address is needed for your student visa. If you are enrolling before you arrive in Australia and don't have an Australian address yet, use RMIT's address: 124 La Trobe Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.
You must also update it within 7 days of any change. This is a student visa requirement.
Your USI (Unique Student Identifier) is a reference number that gives you access to an online record of your recognised training and qualifications. It is a government requirement for all students studying in Australia.
If you are outside Australia, you can enrol now and add your USI to your enrolment later.
You need your passport with an Australian visa to create a USI.
Any discrepancy between your name in the USI registry and RMIT's systems will prevent you from verifying your USI and enrolling.
