Didn’t meet the English requirement? You may still get into your course.
If you’ve just missed the English requirement for your course, you may still be eligible for an offer. By successfully completing an approved English Language Test, you can show you meet RMIT’s Minimum English Language Requirements and we’ll consider your results for future offer rounds.
Which English Language tests are accepted?
RMIT accepts a range of tests, including IELTS and Pearson (PTE Academic).
Check the Minimum English Language Requirements for accepted tests and score levels for your course.
Applicants can choose to complete English language tests through RMIT UP.

Reimbursement of English Language Test Fee
If the English language test result you submitted was used by RMIT to meet the English prerequisite for your course and enabled you to receive an offer, RMIT may reimburse the cost of the test.
To be eligible, you must:
- Have applied through VTAC for the Semester One 2026 intake and have a current (2025) Australian Year 12, IB or NCEA Level 3 qualification.
- Did not meet the English pre-requisite through your Year 12, IB or NCEA studies and have undertaken an RMIT approved English language proficiency test in order to meet the English prerequisite of your course and this contributed toward you receiving an offer.
- Have accepted your offer, enrolled, and remained enrolled past the Semester One census date.
If you meet all these criteria, you will receive an email from RMIT after the Semester One census date. You will be required to complete a reimbursement form and provide your Australian bank details and proof of payment to the test centre. If you supply this, RMIT will reimburse the cost of your test up to a maximum of $475*.
*This maximum reimbursement amount is based on the standard cost of an IELTS test in Australia.
