Student Visa Holder'sWhere a student visa holder’s proposed new enrolment is inconsistent with the National Code a student visa holder may not receive approval to change their enrolment. The National Code, Standard 9 requires student visa holders to be enrolled with an academic load “that at all times ensures the student is in a position to complete the program within the expected duration” and “ensure that in each compulsory study period for a program, the student is studying at least one unit that is not by distance or online learning”. Standard 9 only allows reduced academic load as the result of: - compassionate or compelling circumstances (for example illness or hospitalisation where a medical certificate states that the student was unable to attend classes for an extended period or where the registered provider was unable to offer a pre-requisite unit)
- the registered provider implementing its intervention strategy for students who were at risk of not meeting satisfactory course progress; or
- an approved deferment or suspension of study has been granted by the provider.
Student visa holders must consult with their program advisor prior to submitting the post week 2 change of enrolment form to ensure their proposed enrolment load is in accordance with National Code Standard 9. Student visa holders withdrawing from study entirely will no longer be meeting the 8202 condition on a student visa and may be required to leave Australia. If you are unsure about your student visa obligation following a withdrawal we strongly recommend you contact DIAC or a representative of the Bond International Student Team.
