Vocational education enrolment guide

You must have the following documents and information to enrol.

1. Current Australian/NZ passport (preferred), or other accepted documentation to complete your citizenship verification and/or prove your eligibility for a government subsidised place.

2. Your program code and student number which is in your RMIT enrolment email.

You may need the following information to enrol, depending on your circumstances.

3. Centrelink concession card (current Commonwealth Health Care Card, Pensioner Card or Veterans’ Gold Card) if eligible to apply for a fee concession.

4. Your Tax File Number (TFN), if eligible to apply for a VET Student Loan.

If you don’t have a TFN, you can apply for one now and supply this before your first class census date.

If you are enrolling into a government subsidised place, you must complete the LLN, an online English and maths assessment, as soon as possible before you can enrol. To find out if you're in a government subsidised place or a full fee place, check your RMIT offer or enrolment email.

If you have completed the RMIT LLN assessment within the past 2 years, you do not need to complete it again.

Your LLN result will be used to:

• help RMIT identify your educational support needs, and
• determine your eligibility for a VET Student Loan.

It may take up to 24 hours after you receive your enrolment email for you to be able to log in and start the LLN. If you can't log in straight away, continue with Steps 3 - 6 and return to it later.

How to complete the LLN

1. Use a computer or a tablet device, as the screen does not resize for mobile phones.

2. Log in with your username and password.

• Your username is the letter ‘s’ followed by your student number (example: s1234567).Your student number is in your RMIT enrolment email.
• Your password is the letter ‘p’ followed by your date of birth backwards and an exclamation mark (example: p19920428!).

3. Follow the instructions in the Reference Guide (PDF 0.98MB 2p). It will take about 45 minutes to complete each assessment.

It will take up to 48 hours for your results to be registered with RMIT. While you wait, continue with Steps 3 - 6.

Log in to start the LLN

It’s a government requirement that you have a USI to enrol in a vocational education program. The USI is a reference number that will give you access to an online record of all of your recognised training and qualifications.

1. You’ll need your ID ready, such as a current passport, full birth certificate or driver’s license.
2. Once you’ve created your USI, make a note of it as you’ll need to provide it as part of the enrolment process.

Create your USI online.

1. Set yourself up for success by:

• using a desktop or laptop computer
• using one of RMIT’s preferred browsers for Enrolment Online e.g. Chrome
• enabling pop-ups in your browser settings - or you won’t be able to complete your enrolment.

2. Log in to myRMIT, your student portal, using your RMIT ID and password.

• Your RMIT ID is the letter ‘s’ followed by your student number (example: s1234567).Your student number is in your RMIT enrolment email.
• Your temporary password is the letter ‘p’ followed by your date of birth backwards and an exclamation mark (example: p19920428!).

Change your temporary password as soon as possible to make sure your student account is secure. Find out how at password assistance.

3. Log in to Enrolment Online.

4. Select the Enrol button next to the program you wish to enrol in. You can now start to enrol.

If you’re enrolling into a government subsidised place, you will be asked to answer some questions to:

• make sure that the program you are enrolling in is the most suitable qualification for you
• determine if you will need any support during your studies. If applicable, you will receive an email providing links to support resources.

These questions are simple and straight-forward as they relate to your previous education, career goals, access to technology and any special needs that you may have.

You may need to wait until a staff member has reviewed this information before being able to enrol in classes. In some cases, an RMIT staff member may call you to discuss your reasons for undertaking the program to ensure this is the most suitable and appropriate program for you. This review may take up to 2 business days.

Government subsidised students - Complete the Evidence of student eligibility declaration

This step applies if you have been offered a government subsidised place (refer to your enrolment email for advice).

You will be asked to:

• answer some questions about your education history and citizenship to verify your eligibility for a government subsidised place, and
• provide evidence to verify your citizenship - e.g. your current passport number and expiry date (preferred).

You’ll need to wait while RMIT assesses your eligibility and contacts you by phone to ask you some questions. Usually this will take up to 48 hours, but it may take longer during our busiest times.

You’ll receive an email when your eligibility has been assessed. You will need to log back in to Enrolment Online to accept your assessment outcome, then you can continue with the enrolment process.

Full fee students - Verify your citizenship or residency status

If you have been offered a full fee place (refer to your enrolment email for advice), you will be prompted to verify your citizenship or residency status.

If you have a current passport or citizenship certificate, you can complete this step instantly when you enrol. If you use other documentation, you will be asked to email a scanned copy or photo of your document using your RMIT student email account.

You will receive an email when you can continue to enrol - usually this will take up to 48 hours, but it may take longer during our busiest times.

Before you add your classes, you will be asked to accept RMIT’s terms and conditions, fill in your personal details and provide statistical information.
