ESOS legislation, visa requirements and individual institution rules and regulations will impact on the methods of study (eg: in class, on-line, distance education) and attendance requirements expected to complete a course of study within the period of a student visa. Students are expected to learn independently in Australia; going to class and contributing to discussions may seem to add an extra stress to settling into a new country and institution. Even with the best advice available students sometimes find studying in Australia more of a challenge than they expected, or that the course they began no longer meets their needs.
Students are advised to consider their choice of course or package of courses carefully. The choice of study can affect meeting the requirements of the International Student Visa obtained to enter Australia. It is important to be aware of all the implications of making changes to your course, or the enrolment choices available before acting on a desire to change courses. Any concerns should be discussed with an institution adviser as early as possible to ensure students are aware of support and options available to assist. Speaking up and getting advice is the best way to make informed decisions for a successful study outcome.
PLEASE NOTE: On-line or distance subject studies are not applicable to all education sectors eg: Secondary school studies. However, other messages in this video will apply to all education sectors.
