How do I plan my application, funds and visa for the November intake in Australia?

The November intake follows a shorter and more specific admission cycle than the major February and July intakes. Fewer courses may be available and deadlines vary, so keeping a clear timeline helps you avoid delays.

Suggested timeline

Funds, scholarships, housing and course checks

• Arrange proof of funds for tuition and living expenses, and check the current financial capacity figure on the official Australian visa website.
• Be prepared for Genuine Student checks, as universities may review your financial background before issuing a CoE.
• Some universities automatically assess eligible students for scholarships, and reductions of around 10% to 25% of tuition may be offered depending on the university and program.
• Start looking for accommodation as soon as you receive your offer and do not wait for the visa.
• Confirm that your course is CRICOS-registered for international students and check whether units run on campus or online.
• Make sure the course structure meets the latest Student Visa Subclass 500 study requirements, including limits on online study.

Prepare your passport, academic documents, English test scores, financial evidence, loan documents and scholarship paperwork in advance.

My Advice

Avoid last-minute applications, because admissions and visa processing both get busy. Deadlines, scholarships, course availability and visa rules can change, so confirm everything with your university and the Australian Government before you apply.
