Frequently Asked Questions

Please note that the process to change enrollment in a course or a university, must strictly comply with the Student Visa conditions stated for you so as to avoid the apparent risks of Visa Cancellation. Especially in relation to maintaining the AQF level of your study. For example, if you get your visa for pursuing a bachelor’s degree / undergraduate course, you must maintain the same AQF level. Downgrading your course can lead to the breach of your visa conditions thereby leading to cancellation. Also, you will need to complete 6 months of your Principle Course to be able to change your education provider.
