You are a domestic student if you are:

• An Australian citizen
• Or, an Australian permanent resident
• Or, a New Zealand citizen
• Or, an Australian humanitarian visa holder (permanent)

You will be considered as an international student if you do not fall under any of the categories listed above.

Detailed course syllabus/ course outlines will be required if you wish to apply for credits based on your previous study. Course syllabus/outlines must include course content, assessment mode, contact hours, prescribed texts, etc.

If you are a direct applicant, please tick “YES” for the “Advanced Standing” section of your online application and provide the course syllabus (preferably in the pdf form).

If you are applying through an agent, your agent will assist you with applying for credits.

The previous study must be completed within the last eight years, in order to meet the current requirements. For some courses, this period is shorter (for example, in professional areas where there are often changes to practice requirements).

You can do a credit search based on institution and previous study. Any credit assessment outside the articulation agreement will be assessed on an individual basis. This can only be determined once your application is assessed by the appropriate academic faculty.

If you are currently on a bridging visa, while waiting for the decision on the substantiative visa, you are still considered as an international student at this stage and the international student fees will apply.

Onshore international Year 12 and international students studying VCE offshore will have to apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).

Semester 1 application is normally open via VTAC from early August every year. Please keep an eye on the VTAC website for the key dates (once published).

La Trobe University may require students from certain regions to apply through an authorised agent. If you are unsure whether this is required for you, please submit an enquiry. Please kindly specify your country of citizenship and country of residence when you enquire.

If you are unable to find any agents in the drop-down list of your home country, you may try contacting agents in neighbouring countries. Many of our agents offer virtual consultations and they can communicate with you via emails or videos calls if required.

If you are under 18 at the time of your course commencement, you will need to provide evidence of having an approved legal guardian in Australia. Our International Admissions team will require you to fill out the 157N form.

A suitable relative is defined by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) as, a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew, or a step-grandparent, step-brother, step-sister, step-aunt, step-uncle, step-niece or step-nephew. A suitable nominated relative must be over 21 years of age and of good character.

If you don’t have an approved legal guardian in Australia, your alternate options are:

• Apply for a later intake when you are above 18 by the course commencement date
• Or, apply for a packaged course with our partner – La Trobe College Australia (LTCA), which has homestay & guardian arrangements for under 18 students.

For direct international student applicants, the preferred way to apply with La Trobe is through our online international application portal. In the online application form, please fill in as much detailed information as possible regarding your prior study and English proficiency. For single unit or cross-institutional applicants, please contact the Future Student team via email: StudyInternational@latrobe.edu.au.

There is no application fee when you apply directly through La Trobe. However, if you are from a region where application is required via an authorised agent, the agent may charge a service fee to assist you with the course and student visa applications.

* If you are a domestic student, you will need to make a direct application. Find out more about how to apply as a domestic student.

If you are experiencing any technical issues during the online application process, please first check if all incomplete mandatory fields have been filled out.

Please check every single field, especially the “yes/ no” questions and the drop-down fields in the English proficiency, educational background and qualification (secondary and tertiary qualifications), and passport and visa information sections. The error most likely lies within one of these sections.

If the issue persists, contact the Studylink IT Support team directly via email: support@studylink.com. Be sure to provide your full name and Application ID in the email subject and provide a screenshot of the error message.
