Step By Step - International
For international students and students who do not come under the definition of domestic students.
| Step 1. |
Select the degree you want to study at JCUB (take note of the course duration and costs). Then select the correct application form: The deadlines for JCUB applications are: - Undergraduate (one week before the course begins) - Postgraduate (two weeks before the course begins) |
| Step 2. | Send your completed international student application form with all supporting documentation including certified academic transcripts and IELTS/TOEFL scores (if required), to the International Student Centre at JCUB, apply online or lodge your application with one of JCU's authorised overseas representatives (www.isc.jcu.edu.au/agents.cfm). Please indicate on your application form if you wish to be considered for recognition of prior learning. Note: If documentation is in a language other than English, an official certified translation must be included. |
| Step 3. | We will assess your application based on the academic and English entry requirements for your preferred degree. |
| Step 4. | If your application is successful, we will generate an electronic offer package for you, which will include the following:
- Offer Letter - Name and duration of the degree into which you have been accepted - Any credit you have been awarded for previous study - Tuition fees and other costs |
|
Step 5. |
Once you have received your offer, complete and sign the Acceptance and Payment Agreement and return it to the International Student Centre Brisbane Campus or our overseas representative, along with the fees listed in your offer letter. |
|
Step 6. |
We will then issue you an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE). This is the document that you require in order to get a student visa for Australia. |
|
Step 7. |
Use your eCOE to obtain a student visa from your nearest Embassy or Consulate in your home country. Note: Visa applications can take up to six months or more depending on your nationality and the country you are applying from. |
