Standard cut-off dates
You'll need to meet our strict application cut-off dates so you have time to organise your student visa. We suggest you apply as early as possible to allow for processing.
Most courses use these standard cut-off dates. However, some have earlier deadlines for applications, genuine student documents, acceptance and payment. Refer to our non-standard cut-off dates (below) for more information or contact the International team on +61 3 5327 9018.
