Transferring between providers
This information applies to international students only. Domestic students wanting to study at another institution should read information on course withdrawal.
If you are an international student you must complete six months of your principal course before you can transfer to another registered provider (a ‘provider’ is a university, TAFE or private college registered to provide courses to international students).
If you have not completed six months of your course, your application to transfer may be refused.
