If your CoE is due to expire before you complete your studies, you can apply for a new one.
It is essential that you finish your program at RMIT by the expected date, which is the end date of your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). If your CoE is due to expire before you complete your studies, you can apply for a new one in certain circumstances.
RMIT will assess any request for a new CoE in line with the requirements of the ESOS Act, RMIT’s Policies and Procedures and current Australian Government directions or guidelines related to student visa holders.
You may be eligible for a new CoE if:
You may not be eligible to receive a new CoE if:
Before you apply for a new CoE, you must have received all results from the current semester of study to avoid further changes to your CoE if you fail a course.
If you apply for a student visa using a CoE that has an incorrect program completion date, you may then need to lodge a further visa application at your own expense.
Complete and submit the Apply for a new CoE form via the RMIT Connect Portal.
Issuing a new CoE is not an automatic process, and it will take time to assess your application. It may take up to one month for you to receive your new CoE.
Applications with approaching visa end dates will be prioritised.
Your new CoE will be emailed to your RMIT student email account. It is your responsibility to monitor your student email account.
If you have any questions about your visa, contact the Department of Home Affairs directly. RMIT cannot give specific advice about your student visa or conditions attached to this.
For more information, please contact Student Connect.
