Student Visa Information

Information on applying for and obtaining a student visa is available on the UDiv Website. Student Visa Holders must study full-time in their course and must also satisfy course progress requirements. If a student fails to satisfy course progress requirements, UDiv must report this to the Department of Education, which may impact the student’s visa. Students must also inform CTC and the Department of Home Affairs of any changes to their address and contact details. Students are strongly advised to view the Department of Home Affairs website for comprehensive information on the Student Visa (subclass 500) and to ensure current visa regulations are met. See also the Course Progress Policy

Fees and Refunds 

Under the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000, re-enrolling students must pay their fees at least two weeks before the start of each semester. Failure to pay fees prior to the commencement of classes may lead to visa cancellations.  The UDiv fees webpage gives full information of fees, fees policy and refunds in the case of a student's withdrawal from their course.
