International students - higher education enrolment guide
It can take some time to complete all enrolment steps. We recommend you start your enrolment as soon as possible.
Remember to log in to your RMIT student email for important enrolment communications.
Online learning during COVID
Based on current information, we expect most Semester 1 2021 courses will have a mix of face-to-face and online learning activities.
All lectures and seminars will be delivered online only. Facilitated learning, such as tutorials, workshops, labs, studios, practicals and lectorials, will be delivered face-to-face on campus, where possible, with safety measures in place.
If you are not be able to attend campus due to travel restrictions or legitimate personal circumstances you will either be offered the option to take equivalent online activities or complete activities on campus at a future date.
While RMIT will make every effort to ensure students who cannot attend campus in Semester 1 2021 are not disadvantaged, it may result in delays to progression and program completion.
