Leading academics from a variety of disciplines teach Australian Studies subjects. See p.6 for details. These subjects are marked with the symbol.

In IT and engineering, health sciences, and sciences and psychology subjects, class contact hours are high (usually 24–30 hours per week) and may include lectures, tutorials and practical/laboratory classes. In subjects offered in humanities, social sciences and communications, there are generally fewer contact hours (usually 12 hours per week), but you are required to spend more time on individual reading and research. Most subjects involve tutorials as well as lectures. A tutorial (sometimes referred to as a “tute”) is a small class of about 10 to 15 students and is usually scheduled on a weekly basis.

Credit transfer Students are required to complete a full-time study load which is a maximum of 60 La Trobe credit points per single semester or 120 credit points for two semesters (a full academic year). Two La Trobe University credit points are equal to one ECTS – this means that 60 credit points equals 30 ECTS and 120 credit points equals 60 ECTS. For applicants in the United States of America, a 15 credit point subject at La Trobe usually equals to about 3 credits in the USA, and a 20 credit point subject usually equals to 4 credits. Credit transfer may vary slightly depending on the home university and on the discrepancies that may exist between subject content. Some universities in the USA may balance out the credit transfer if there is a substantial difference between their grading systems and La Trobe University’s grading system (i.e. if the percentage for an A is higher at the applicant’s home institution, they may be permitted to transfer with full credit for a particular subject but their grade may be adjusted to a B). Some institutions may only choose to transfer 3 or 4 credit points without a grade – please ensure that you check credit transfer arrangements with your home university before applying.

Research students Students currently reading towards a research degree in their home country may consider carrying out part of their research as a Study Abroad student at La Trobe University. Students will need to contact a potential supervisor at La Trobe University and after confirmation that supervision is available, students complete the Application Form, listing ‘Research Methodology’ as the subject they wish to undertake for one or two semesters, and include a 300 word research proposal. For more information, contact: ltiresearch@latrobe.edu.au

At the end of the semester or year, La Trobe International will send you an original transcript of your academic results – for credit transfer purposes – to your La Trobe University representative or your home university.

The University can make a Conditional Offer – which is subject to you meeting certain conditions (e.g. English language requirements). You must fulfil the conditions stated in your offer before it can be changed to a full offer. If you are required to meet certain English language requirements, we recommend La Trobe University’s International College* to help you reach the appropriate level, visit: latrobe.edu.au/icollege

Conditions for deferment, suspension and cancellation of enrolment La Trobe University is obliged to notify the Department of Education, Employment, and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) if it defers, suspends, intermits, or cancels a student’s enrolment. These changes to enrolment can affect a student’s visa. DEEWR will record this change to enrolment and send the information to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

International Welcome Festival Orientation and Enrolment at La Trobe University It is a requirement of La Trobe University that you attend the International Welcome Festival Orientation, or your specific orientation, held one to two weeks before the start of class (see Academic Calendar online at: latrobe.edu.au/international/calendar). Students who attend orientation are more likely to succeed in their studies. There are many interactive sessions, exciting events and heaps of opportunities to meet students, staff, and to make friends. Best of all, there’s free food, activities and a great La Trobe University satchel for participants. Visit: latrobe.edu.au/international/predeparture

La Trobe University can only permit a student to intermit from their studies (defer their studies for up to 12 months) on the grounds of: compassionate and compelling circumstances; where La Trobe University is unable to offer a prerequisite subject; or where a student is unable to commence their course due to delays in receiving their student visa. A student’s enrolment may be cancelled due to non-payment of tuition fees. A student being found guilty of Academic Misconduct, or inappropriate conduct, or who has conditions set by the Academic Progress Committee due to lack of academic progress, may have their enrolment suspended. A student who has had their enrolment suspended by the University has twenty working days to appeal their suspension. Once twenty days have elapsed, or the internal appeals process has been completed and the decision to suspend upheld, a student will be reported to DEEWR. For more information on University policy and regulations see: latrobe.edu.au/policy

2011 STUDY ABROAD GUIDE

STUDENT VISAS

Student visas It is your responsibility to ensure you obtain a valid passport and student visa before you enter Australia for study purposes. Visa assessment levels are determined by country of citizenship and course type. Only those who fall under Assessment Level 1 can be granted their initial student visa while in Australia. This means most students must obtain a student visa before they travel to Australia. Please note that as a condition of a student visa you are required to complete your course in the minimum time, as stated on your eCOE, unless there are compelling and compassionate circumstances, you have intermitted (deferred) your course, or you have an intervention plan in place. As such, the University requires you to be enrolled in a full-time load, unless: • there are “compelling or compassionate circumstances” • you have received Advanced Standing (credit) that affects your load during a relevant progression period • you have problems with academic progress or, • you undertake subjects at times other than Semester 1 or 2, which count towards your course credits, e.g. during Summer School. Please contact your nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission for more information: www.immi.gov.au Assistance with visa applications is also available from La Trobe University’s representatives: latrobe.edu.au/international/agents Please note the University is unable to provide advice concerning immigration matters.

Health insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover) All international students must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) before they are granted a student visa. OSHC provides medical and hospital cover for international students and their dependants while in Australia. La Trobe currently has an agreement with OSHC Worldcare, a private health fund, for the provision of OSHC. La Trobe University’s policy is that students purchase health cover for the duration of their eCOE. This oneoff payment saves students needing to renew their OSHC each year and avoids any price increases during that period. OSHC rates for 2010 (these rates are subject to change without notice and may increase in 2011): LENGTH OF STAY

Please note commencing students not using OSHC Worldcare must make payment arrangements with their provider directly and must provide proof of OSHC to La Trobe International and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) before their eCOE is released and their student visa is issued. A list of OSHC providers is available from the Department of Health and Ageing: latrobe.edu.au/international/predeparture/visa

FOR MORE INFORMATION

latrobe.edu.au/international

OSHC is not required for Norwegian students and some Swedish students. For more details see: latrobe.edu.au/international/predeparture/visa/oshc

Employment International students can work a maximum of 20 hours per week during semester, including the entire advertised exam period, and unlimited hours during official University vacations once they have commenced their course. This includes any employment, volunteer work or work placement. The exception to this is where a placement or internship is a registered part of your course, which does not count towards the 20 hours per week limit. From April 2008 all student visas are granted with work rights. Please note in some university courses, study demands allow little free time for employment. Part-time work and vacation work are not always available and students should not depend on this form of income to cover living expenses or tuition fees.

Students under 18 years of age Students under the age of 18 must have their parents (or legal custodian) nominate a guardian who resides in Australia prior to DIAC considering their student visa application. Parents must lodge the Nomination of a Student Guardian form (157N) available via the Embassy in their home country, or at: www.immi.gov.au/allforms/application-forms DIAC requires this guardian to be over 21 years old, an eligible relative and of good character. If a student under 18 does not have an eligible relative in Australia they will normally be required to defer enrolment until after they turn 18 years of age. An exception is where a student has enrolled in a course at the La Trobe University International College prior to articulating to a La Trobe University Bachelor’s program. In exceptional circumstances, the University may permit direct entry into a Bachelor’s program. In such cases, the student will need to be supported by the services of the La Trobe University International College-approved care provider agency, before the University will issue an eCOE and the Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation/Welfare (CAAW) form: latrobe.edu.au/icollege/apply/18yrs

Students with school-aged children If you have school-aged dependants accompanying you to Australia, it is a visa requirement that you enrol them in primary or secondary school and pay school fees. Exceptions to this are if you are the recipient of an Australian government scholarship, or the holder of a Subclass 574, Postgraduate Research Visa. Then you are exempt from paying school fees at a Government School: www.study.vic.gov.au/Intstu Important note If you are in Assessment Level 3 or 4 you may be required by DIAC to provide a minimum IELTS score (or its equivalent) as part of the student visa application process. To determine your assessment level see: www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets More information is available from the DIAC website: www.immi.gov.au

Student organisations La Trobe students are afforded the best possible experience during their time at the University and that includes having access to a wide range of on-campus student associations. These groups organise regular events, trips, activities and have useful websites – all to help international students meet other students and adjust to living overseas. Groups, societies and clubs are extremely diverse ranging from a breakfast club, Buddhist society, even a Pipe Band club and a range of political groups.

The biggest organisation is La Trobe’s International Students’ Association (ISA), which coordinates events and activities, has its own student lounge, and liaises with La Trobe International plus the Bendigo International Students Club at the Bendigo campus: latrobe.edu.au/guild Other associations maintain a close and engaging community at the University, see: latrobe.edu.au/international/predeparture/settling
