I'm due to return to study after completing my deferral. What do I have to do to begin my studies? What do I do if I don't receive any information?
We will send an invitation (to the person email address that you have recorded under the Contacts section in StudentOnLine) for you to accept your offer and return from deferral.
You will hear from us before the teaching period you are due to retun in (e.g. by June if you're due to return for Semester 2/Term 4 or by the end of October if you're returning for Semester 1/Term 2). You can then follow the instructions in the email to accept your offer.
Contact ASK La Trobe if you have any questions or if you don't receive the email.
