Under normal circumstances, when you enrol for the February semester, you are enrolled
for the entire year. There is no need to re-enrol later for the July semester courses. If for
some reason, however, you are not enrolled in the July semester courses, then you should
do so using an “Enrolment Variation” form (EVF) downloadable from http://
www.rmit.edu.au/csit/evf. (Alternatively, a blank EVF is available at
http://www.rmit.edu.au/student-records/studentforms.) (See section 14.25.3 on page 82.)
If you started in July, then you are enrolled for the July semester only.
Summer courses are added at the same time that you re-enrol for the coming year, after
exams at the end of the July semester.
International students who wish to commence in January should aim to arrive in Australia
no later than the end of the second week of December. This will allow adequate time to
find accommodation and settle in before the holiday period commences.
International students who wish to commence in February should arrive by mid- to late
January.
You are strongly advised to check all RMIT documentation very carefully. If you need to
make a change, you should submit an “Enrolment Variation” form (EVF) (downloadable
from http://www.rmit.edu.au/csit/evf)to the Hub. (Alternatively, a blank EVF is available at
http://www.rmit.edu.au/student-records/studentforms.)
Always keep a copy of any form you submit to RMIT, with the timestamp clearly legible.
You must:
1. Download an “Enrolment Variation” form (EVF) from
http://www.rmit.edu.au/csit/evf (or download a blank EVF from
http://www.rmit.edu.au/student-records/studentforms).
2. See your program advisor to obtain their signature and approval. (Program advisor
information can be found at the rear of Chapter 1 in this book, or visit the Advisor
webpage at http://www.rmit.edu.au/csit/advisor. Always bring a copy of your current
transcript when you see your advisor. To obtain a current transcript see “The Hub” on
page 86.)
3. Submit the signed EVF to the Hub.
If you are not able to see your advisor, you can ring them and arrange to leave the form at
the School Office for delivery and pick up. The onus is on you to ensure that you deliver
the signed EVF to the Hub.
Always check any correspondence or enrolment information issued by RMIT. Human
errors do occur, but the onus is on you to check them.
If you want to check your enrolment you can go to the Hub (See “The Hub” on page 86.)
You can also check your enrolment details online at
http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/results.
In most cases, it is possible to work out your problem in another way. However, if the only
alternative is to alter your load, then see your program advisor.
International students should note however that they must do a full load of 4 courses in
order to maintain the requirements of their visa.
