Transferring to a different course or institution in Australia depends on the institution and course you wish to transfer to. Generally, you will need to meet the eligibility requirements for the course and institution, and your visa status may need to be updated. At EDUCITY, we can provide you with information on the transfer process and assist you with the application process.
What are the conditions for obtaining the release approval from my current university?
As outlined by the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) National Code, if you have not completed six months of your current course and wish to change institutions, your current institution can only provide a letter of release if:
- You have an official letter from another institution stating that they have offered you enrollment.
- You are under the age of 18 and have support from your parents or legal guardian, or the new institution offering you enrollment will take responsibility for your welfare.
- Ensure you understand your institution’s transfer policy, as this will outline the reasons you may or may not be granted the ability to transfer institutions.
What if my transfer request is rejected?
If your institution has rejected your transfer request, you will be able to appeal their decision through an internal appeals and complaints process. If you’re not satisfied with that result, you can appeal the decision through your state or territory Ombudsman or the Overseas Student Ombudsman.
