Admissions Updates

Commencing students can now secure their place at RMIT with a AUD$9000 deposit 
 

Commencing international students will now only be required to pay a deposit of AUD $9,000.00 to accept an offer for any program commencing in Semester 2, 2020 with the balance payable before census. This means commencing international students must no longer pay a full semester deposit to accept their offer with RMIT University.

 

Deposit payments through Western Union
Students who have previously been issued their offer with the full semester deposit and now would like to accept their offers for the reduced deposit of AUD$9000 and prefer to make payment via Western Union will be required to have their offers reissued. You can contact us to request a new offer letter with the revised deposit payment via the StudyLink applicant portal.

 

Deposit payments by Credit Card

Any students who would like to accept their offer and pay by credit card can proceed without a revised offer letter.

 

RMIT Refund Policy


RMIT University provides refunds of tuition fees in accordance with its refund policy.


Full details are established in RMIT’s refund policy, including situations where an overseas student’s ability to study is impacted by exceptional circumstances. Where an overseas student is refused a visa to study in Australia RMIT will provide a full refund to that student, less any administrative fees.
