HOW TO
Accept your offer
Congratulations on receiving an offer to study at RMIT University. Follow these steps to accept your offer.
When to accept
You need to accept your offer, arrive and enrol, before the last day to enrol in your program.
Some commencing international students will also need to register before they can enrol. Visit the Student welcome section to check how to enrol and enrolment dates.
If you do not accept or defer your offer by the last day to enrol in your program, RMIT will cancel your offer and you will need to make a new application.

Payment methods
Your acceptance will not be processed until you have made full payment of your deposit. The deposit should include your tuition deposit, and if applicable, your OSHC and ELICOS enrolment fee.
There are two options to pay your deposit:
- Credit or Debit Card (Visa or MasterCard only) for online acceptance or in person at Info Corner in Melbourne.
- Telegraphic transfer. If paying by Telegraphic transfer you will need to upload your receipt in iApply (this step is not required if you are accepting an offer for PhD or masters by research).
After you accept your offer
You will receive an email notification to let you know we have received your acceptance.
If you plan to apply for a Student Visa, you will need a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). RMIT will process your acceptance, make your CoE available and notify you when it’s ready. This can take up to five working days.
Once your CoE is available, you can access it in iApply. If your offer is for a PhD or masters by research, access your CoE here instead.
Depending on your situation you may need to submit additional documents to receive your CoE.
If you have a conditional offer, you will need to meet all the conditions listed on your offer letter before we can issue a CoE. You can submit the additional documents required through iApply. If your offer is for a PhD or masters by research, submit your documents here instead.
