§ the University can no longer provide the course being offered
§ the University ceases to provide the course after it starts but before it is completed
§ the Australian Government authorities refuse to grant a student an initial student visa before the commencement of his or her course (in which case students may be requested to provide proof of the date of their visa application)
§ the University withdraws an offer of a place
§ there are exceptional circumstances that compel a student to withdraw from a course after the commencement date, such as illness or disability, death of a close family member, political or civil unrest or natural disaster in the student’s home country. This decision is subject to you providing acceptable documentary evidence in support of a refund application to La Trobe University.
§ If you withdraw from a minimum of four weeks prior to the commencement date of your course (as specified on your Letter of Offer), you will receive a refund of 90 per cent of your tuition fees (a 10 per cent administrative fee is deducted).
§ If you withdraw before the close of business on the Census Date for the subject or course and are an international student in the first semester (or term) of enrolment, you will receive a 50 per cent refund for the subject/course. Continuing students will receive a 100 per cent refund.
§ If you have a packaged offer (ELICOS, Foundation, Diploma) and CoE with one of our partner institutions, the deposit of up to A$6000 towards your La Trobe program, will not be refunded and will be retained by La Trobe University if you:
§ do not successfully complete the program at the partner institution
§ transfer to another institution* or
§ return home upon completion of the partner institution program.
*If you apply to transfer to another institution on the completion of the partner institution program and meet the entry requirements of the La Trobe University degree, we will not provide you with a Letter of Release to provide to the Australian government’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). A Letter of Release will only be provided to those students who are ineligible to commence at La Trobe and can only transfer to one of La Trobe’s approved business and packaging partners. Please see this website for a list of our institutions: latrobe.edu.au/mature-age/apply/credit-for-previous-studies
Additional costs
You may have to pay additional costs such as a National Police Check, fieldwork trips, laboratory coats or art materials. Check the course descriptions for more information: latrobe.edu.au/courses
Healthcare costs
Refer to page 30 for compulsory health cover in Australia.
Honours year fee – undergraduate students only
Most undergraduate courses at La Trobe University offer an additional Honours year. Honours or a Master’s preliminary year are separate degrees, so you would have to pay additional tuition fees.
Cross-institutional enrolment fees
You can choose to study a subject at another Australian university and count it towards your La Trobe degree. However, you should note the tuition fee for this subject will be paid to the other institution and may be different to the tuition fee payable at La Trobe University.
There is a lot to know about fees and our refund policy. Get in touch to find out more (see back cover for contact details) or visit: latrobe.edu.au/international/apply

These are normally coursework programs that provide you with specialised knowledge. They generally require one year of study. Some programs may, however, include a research component if they are designed to prepare you for a Master’s degree by research.
Note: entry to certain Graduate or Postgraduate Diploma programs may require specific previous studies at undergraduate level. Refer to online individual course descriptions for details.

It is often difficult for prospective research candidates to make contact with a potential supervisor prior to coming to Australia.
Our website lists academic staff and outlines their research backgrounds, interests and contact details. Visit:latrobe.edu.au/research/future/find-a-research-supervisor
When contacting your proposed supervisor, write a brief email introducing yourself, your background and your proposed topic and including the following information:
§ university academic transcripts and completion certificates
§ your professional CV outlining relevant work experience, academic awards, prior research background etc.
§ details of any publications
§ a copy of your Master’s thesis (if in English)
§ a research proposal (no more than 300 words).
If a suitable supervisor is available, your next step will be to submit a formal application to La Trobe International. See: latrobe.edu.au/international/apply/how-to/research
If you are having problems finding a supervisor, then write to the postgraduate coordinator for your area of interest describing the research topic you would like to pursue. The coordinator will let you know whether your envisaged research project can be supported at La Trobe. If the suggested topic is not supported, the coordinator may suggest ways you can modify your aims so that they can be supported.
Note that your application will not be processed until supervision has been confirmed. For more information, visit:latrobe.edu.au/international/ask-a-question
29La Trobe University International Prospectus 2015
It is your responsibility to ensure you obtain a valid passport and student visa before you enter Australia for study purposes.
STUDENT VISAS
As a holder of a student visa:
§ You must undertake a CRICOS approved course.
§ You must maintain satisfactory course progress and a valid enrolment for your chosen course of study.
§ You and your family members must not work without permission. If you are given permission to work, you must not work more than 40 hours a fortnight (two weeks) during the semester, unless otherwise specified. Holders of Postgraduate Research (574) visas are permitted to work unlimited hours, however their rules of candidature have work restrictions.
§ If you are under 18 years of age, and you are not accompanied nor staying with a parent, eligible relative or legal custodian, you must have La Trobe University‑approved welfare and accommodation arrangements. You cannot change your accommodation, support and welfare arrangements without written approval from La Trobe University.
§ You must maintain your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) or equivalent health cover for the duration of your student visa when you are in Australia.
§ You must – within seven days of your arrival in Australia – inform your education provider (La Trobe University or your pathway provider) of your current residential address, and you must advise any changes of address within seven days.
For information on applying for a student visa please see:immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/applying-student.pdf
For further general information please see: immi.gov.au/students/student-information.htm
As a condition of a student visa you are required to complete your course within the duration stated on your CoE, unless:
§ There are compelling or compassionate circumstances.
§ You have taken an official Leave of Absence (intermitted or suspended) from your course.
§ You have received Advanced Standing (credit) that affects your load during a relevant progression period.
§ You have problems with academic progress, and have received permission from your faculty to study less than a full‑time mode (under‑load).
§ You undertake subjects at times other than Semester 1 or 2, which count towards your course credits e.g. during Summer or Winter Semesters.
This means that international students are generally expected to be enrolled in a full‑time study load. Please contact your nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission for more information:immi.gov.au
Assistance with visa applications is also available from the University’s representatives:latrobe.edu.au/international/registeredagents
Please note: La Trobe University can provide information, not advice, concerning immigration matters.

30 La Trobe University International Prospectus 2015
EMPLOYMENTYou cannot work until you have commenced your course in Australia. Once your course has commenced you are permitted to work a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight when your course is officially in session, and unlimited hours when your course is officially not in session. A fortnight is equal to two weeks – from Sunday, to Sunday.
If you are doing voluntary, unpaid work, it is not included in the limit of 40 hours per fortnight if it:
§ is of benefit to the community
§ is for a non‑profit organisation
§ would not otherwise be undertaken in return for wages by an Australian resident (that is, it is a designated volunteer position)
§ and is genuinely voluntary (that is, no remuneration, either in cash or kind is received—board and lodging acceptable).
If you are a subclass 574 (Postgraduate Research) student visa holder and you have commenced your Master’s by research or Doctoral degree in Australia, there is no limit on the number of hours you may work.
You can also work unlimited hours during official University vacations once you have commenced your course in Australia. This includes any employment, volunteer work or work placement.
Please note: in some university courses, study demands allow little time for employment. Part‑time work and vacation work are not always available and you should not depend on this form of income to cover living expenses or tuition fees. For up‑to‑date information on working while studying, please see:immi.gov.au/students/students/working_while_studying
ARE YOU UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE?Students under the age of 18 are required by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) to have appropriate welfare and accommodation arrangements in Australia. In order to get a student visa, underage students will need to provide evidence that they will be living with a DIBP‑approved guardian, or have welfare and accommodation arrangements approved by La Trobe University.
Option 1: DIBP’s approved welfare arrangement
Students under the age of 18 must have their parents or legal custodian nominate a guardian who resides in Australia prior to DIBP considering their student visa application. Parents or students must lodge the Nomination of a Student Guardian Form (157N) available at the Australian Embassy in their home country, or at:immi.gov.au/allforms/application-forms
DIBP requires this guardian to be over 21 years of age, an eligible relative and of good character.
Option 2: Welfare and accommodation arrangements as approved by La Trobe University
If an underage student does not have an eligible relative in Australia, the student will need to be supported by the services of La Trobe University’s approved guardianship agencies and accommodation providers before the University will issue a CoE and a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation/Welfare (CAAW) Form.
For more information, please visit:latrobe.edu.au/students/new-students/international/visa/under18
HEALTH INSURANCENearly all international students must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) before they are granted a student visa (Norwegian, Belgian, and some Swedish students do not need OSHC).
OSHC provides medical and hospital cover for you and your dependants while in Australia. La Trobe currently has an agreement with OSHC by Allianz Global Assistance, a private health fund, for the provision of OSHC. The University’s policy is that you purchase health cover for the duration of your student visa. This one‑off payment means you don’t need to renew your OSHC each year and you can avoid any price increases during that period. Please note you can purchase health cover through another approved insurance provider of your choice.
OSHC health cover options are:
Single – covers only the valid student visa holder.
Dual Family – covers one valid visa holder plus either one adult spouse or recognised de facto partner, or one or more dependent children.
Multi Family – covers one student visa holder plus more than one dependant. A dependant can only include one adult spouse or recognised de facto partner, or one or more dependent children.
OSHC rates for 2014
Length of Stay Single Policy Dual Family Policy
Multi Family Policy
6 months A$309 A$708 A$997
1 year A$571 A$1369 A$1948
2 years A$1141 A$3068 A$4329
3 years A$1762 A$4589 A$6474
These rates are subject to change without notice and may increase in 2015. Please read your OSHC by Allianz Global Assistance policy carefully. Overseas Student Health Cover is similar to public health cover for Australian citizens; however there may be significant upfront costs for some medical care.
Please note: commencing students not using OSHC by Allianz Global Assistance must make payment arrangements with their provider directly and must provide proof of OSHC to:
§ La Trobe International, before their CoE is released
§ the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), before their student visa is issued.
A list of OSHC providers is available from the Department of Health:health.gov.au
For more details and updates see:latrobe.edu.au/students/new-students/international/visa/oshc

Declaration and agreement
§ I am not a permanent resident or citizen of Australia, nor a citizen of New Zealand.
§ I am aware of the conditions relating to my admission into La Trobe University.
§ I declare to the best of my knowledge that the information supplied on this application form and all supporting documentation is correct and complete, and that any supplementary application documents (personal statement, folio or additional requirements) are my own work. I acknowledge that La Trobe University reserves the right at any stage to vary or reverse any decision regarding admission or enrolment which has been made on the basis of incorrect, fraudulent or incomplete information. I also acknowledge that failure to disclose my full academic record may result in the University revoking an offer or terminating my studies at any stage. I authorise the University to seek verification of my academic and professional qualifications, and work experience.
§ The University also reserves the right to vary courses, subjects, the mode of delivery, assessment and admission requirements at any time at its discretion.
§ I acknowledge La Trobe University places restrictions on program and institution transfers and that I may not be permitted to change my program or institution without permission.
§ I consent to the University using and disclosing my personal information under the conditions relating to the Refund Policy as set out at: latrobe.edu.au/international/fees
§ Information I have provided on this form and during enrolment may be made available to the Australian Government, state agencies and other designated authorities under the ESOS Act 2000 and the National Code 2007. Information about me can be disclosed without my consent where authorised or required by law. I further understand that La Trobe University, as an education provider, is required to provide information about my enrolment and my contact details in Australia to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) upon request. I understand that the University reserves the right to inform other tertiary institutions and regulatory agencies if any of the material presented to support my application is found to be false. If sponsored by a government body or private institution, I give La Trobe University permission to provide my sponsor with information about my application, enrolment and academic progress.
§ If I am unsuccessful in getting direct entry into my degree program, La Trobe University will refer my application to the University’s preferred pathway providers for an alternative Foundation or Diploma program that may lead to my chosen La Trobe University degree.
§ I authorise the University to disclose information relevant to my application and enrolment to the University’s preferred OSHC provider and other third parties for the purposes of arranging my OSHC, progressing my application and enrolment, and administering my course. I also authorise La Trobe University to access the DIBP’s Visa Entitlement Verification Online System (VEVO) to obtain information on my visa status.
§ I understand the fees listed in this publication are an estimate only, based on the subjects in which I enrol, and will vary depending on the subject and the actual subject enrolment load. I agree to pay all fees for which I am liable. I acknowledge that the tuition fee is exclusive of the cost of text books, health insurance or living expenses such as food, accommodation, transport and medical costs. Details on any additional costs can be found within course descriptions on the La Trobe University website: latrobe.edu.au/courses
§ I acknowledge that tuition and other fees are subject to change each year. The University reserves the right to vary fees on an annual basis. Tuition fees will not normally rise above seven per cent per year. Should the University decide to increase its fees, that increase will take effect on 1 January of the following year.
§ I understand that if I have any school‑aged children or dependants accompanying me to Australia, they must attend school and I will be required to pay a full fee if they are enrolled either in a government or non‑government school. However if I hold a 574 or 576 visa, or receive an eligible scholarship from the Australian Government, I may be exempt from paying fees for my dependants at a Government school.
§ I have completed all sections of the application form.
§ I accept that this application and supporting documentation become the property of La Trobe University and are not returnable.
§ I understand this agreement does not remove my right to take further action under Australia’s consumer protection laws.
§ I have read and I understand the declaration above.
