Obtaining a Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) for visa application

Upon receiving your signed acceptance form and confirmation of fee payment, JCU will provide you and/or your agent with an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) form. You will need the eCoE to apply for your student visa.

For information on how to apply for a student visa, please visit the Australian Government's Department of Home Affairs.

Applying for credit for previous study

Applying for credit for formal learning (previous study) or informal/non-formal learning (e.g. work experience) can help you complete your course in a shorter timeframe and save on overall course fees.

Deferring your entry

If you wish to delay commencing your course, you should contact the International Admissions team directly.
