To accept the offer, the applicant must pay the first semester?s tuition fees with the

Step 4 - Confirmation of Enrolment

Upon fulfilling step 3, the university will issue the student a Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) and once this is provided to the Australian embassy or a diplomatic mission, a student visa will be issued.

Step 5 - Apply for a student visa

The student must provide evidence of funds to support himself/herself and their
dependents while in Australia. The student must also comply with all health regulations.

The AA Education Network provides free assistance throughout the visa application
procedure.

Step 6 - Prepare for departure

International students at this stage must make their final arrangements for departure and inform the University of their Travel Plans. The student must also notify ECU International of his/her intention to bring school-age children to Australia.

Student Visas - Important information

International students require a student visa to study in Australia and this means that they can only choose to study on a full-time basis. ECU is under obligation to report any international student not attending classes or making satisfactory progress in his/her studies to the Department of Immigration & Multicultural Affairs (DIMA).
