cancelling enrolment. RMIT is legally required
to inform the Department of Immigration
and Border Protection (DIBP) of enrolment
variations and changes.
It is important that you understand how
changing your enrolment can impact the
validity of your student visa.

academic year.
–– All fees are quoted in Australian dollars

For full-time students, the Student Services

www.rmit.edu.au/programs/fees/
–– Fees are held constant for each calendar
year and RMIT may increase program fees
by an amount that will not exceed 7.5%
each year (subject to rounding). For higher
education fees, tuition fees are rounded
up to the nearest $10.00 per credit point
increment, and so the actual fee increase
may exceed 7.5%. Similarly, for vocational
education and preparatory students, the
program annual fees are rounded up to the
nearest $250, and so the actual fee increase
may exceed 7.5%.
–– Fee increases are applied at the beginning of
each calendar year, therefore commencing
mid-year students will find that the total cost
of their program will be slightly higher than if
they had commenced in February.
–– Fees are invoiced on a study period basis
according to the enrolled load for that
particular study period, except that English
Language is charged at a weekly fee.
