What is a Confirmation of Enrolment?
A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) serves as proof of your enrolment at Swinburne, which will be issued when we are satisfied that you meet Australian regulatory requirements.
If you're coming to Australia to start your course, you need a CoE from Swinburne to apply for your student visa. If you're already studying at Swinburne as an international student, you may also need a revised CoE in certain situations.
CoE for continuing students
As an international student, you need to apply for a new CoE from Swinburne if you cannot complete your course within the original timeline (for example if you took a leave of absence or had to redo a unit).
If your course duration changes, you may also need to apply for a new student visa before your current visa expires. This is not an automatic process and only permitted in certain circumstances as defined by the Department of Home Affairs. There may be restrictions on applying for further visas while you are in Australia.
CoE for deferring students
Deferring an offer – All applications for deferral for international students are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
International Students who are approved to defer will require a variation offer letter for next available intake, pay any additional OSHC applicable and a variation of CoE will need to be issued to the international student to apply for a visa for the deferred intake.
Have a question? If you need assistance with your CoE application, please contact the Student HQ by calling 1300 794 628 or emailing askgeorge@swinburne.edu.au.
