Education providers must have a policy outlining conditions for suspending, deferring and cancelling enrolment. Students who study in Australia on a student visa are required to maintain the expectations of the institution they are studying at to complete the requirements of their course. Institutions can suspend or cancel a student's enrolment for misbehaviour, or suspend or defer an enrolment if a student has compassionate and compelling reasons to request it. Unexpected illness or other issues may affect a student’s ability to study. Some changes to an overseas student’s enrolment may affect their student visa.
There are also conditions stipulated by the Australian Government regarding students who wish to transfer their enrolment to another education provider. Students should read their provider’s policies to know on what grounds they can transfer to another provider, or temporarily change their enrolment. Getting advice early before decisions are made or as soon as a situation changes is the best way remain within visa requirements.
