Changing Course in Australia – Expert Advice from Registered Migration Agents
Thinking About Changing Your Course in Australia? Here's What You Need to Know
If you're an international student in Australia and considering changing your course, you're not alone. Many students reassess their academic or career goals after starting a program. However, changing courses isn’t as simple as it sounds. It can have serious consequences on your student visa if not handled correctly.
At Danfe Consulting, our registered migration agents in Melbourne specialize in helping international students navigate course changes while staying compliant with visa conditions.
🔍 Can I Change My Course on a Student Visa in Australia?
Yes, but there are rules.
- If you’re on a subclass 500 student visa, you must follow strict guidelines set by the Department of Home Affairs. This includes remaining enrolled in a registered course and maintaining visa conditions at all times.
- If you're changing your principal course within the first 6 months, you’ll likely need a release letter and proper authorization from your current education provider.
⚠️ Important Things to Consider Before Changing Courses
Here are the key points every student should consider:
- Visa Compliance: Changing to an unrelated or lower-level course could breach your visa conditions.
- AQF Level Requirements: The new course must be at the same or higher level on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
- Release Letter Requirement: If you haven’t completed six months of your principal course, a release letter is mandatory.
- Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE): You must still meet the GTE requirement after switching courses.
- New Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE): A new CoE is essential to continue your studies legally in Australia.
