If the school has space, you can transfer. , without informing the Immigration Service. For example, if you plan to study for a master's degree in accounting at RMIT University and are later interested in a master's degree in logistics, the applicant only needs to fill out the CourseVariationForm at the International Department before the start of the semester. After being approved, the applicant can go through further admission procedures such as fee changes.

2. If the student wants to change schools and has studied the main course for less than 6 months, the student needs to go to the new school to get a new admission letter offer, then notify the original school and apply for Releaseetter . If the original school refuses and the reasons are relatively good, you can appeal to the Ministry of Education. If the original school approves, you can get a release letter. Apply for a new COE at the new school to complete the transfer. In addition, if the course you are transferring is of a different level, you will need to apply for a new visa.

3. If the study time of the main course has exceeded 6 months, you propose to transfer, but the level of study remains unchanged, such as transferring from one high school to another high school, from TAFE to a private college, or from If you transfer from one university to another, you do not need to change your visa category or apply for a new visa.
