How to accept

If you have received a letter of offer to study at La Trobe University and wish to accept it, please send the following to La Trobe International:

  1. Completed Offer Acceptance Form (PDF 146KB).
  2. Payment for the required deposit as set out in your letter of offer – refer to Offer Acceptance Form 2 for methods of payment (if you prefer to pay visa-length overseas health cover you will need to adjust the amount accordingly).
  3. Certified evidence of meeting the conditions specified in your letter of offer (if applicable).
  4. A copy of your visa, if you are a temporary resident of Australia.

Please note: The Australian student visa process has changed effective 5 November 2011. PVAs are no longer required prior to submission of tuition fee payment and acceptance of the offer letter. Please view the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship information sheet (PDF 63.9KB) for further information. Students are now required to submit their COE at the time of applying for a visa to DIAC, which means you will be required to pay a fee and accept your offer before submitting a visa application.

For further information, please refer to our Offer and Acceptance Guide (PDF 156KB).

Please note: If La Trobe University makes you an offer of a place and you accept it, you will be issued with an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE) form which you can then use to apply for a student visa at your nearest Australian diplomatic mission. A comprehensive list of diplomatic missions is available from the Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade website. For more information please see the visas page
