International students: check-in and enrolment steps
Welcome to La Trobe
During this time of COVID-19, we’ll be beginning studies in November online. As soon as the travel bans are lifted and you are issued with your visa we will assist you to travel to Australia to continue your studies face-to-face.
In the meantime we have prepared an easy to follow guide on how to get started.
Get started with 6 steps
1. You'll receive a temporary password sent to the email address associated with your offer to study at La Trobe. If you have not received a password via email then contact our Student IT Support team.
2. Reset your password online
3. Log in (with your La Trobe student username and password) to StudentOnLine and enrol in your subjects (see below for a video on how to do this)
4. Create your personal timetable in Allocate+ (you must be enrolled in your subjects first to see your timetable and you can check the opening dates to see if it is available yet)
5. Attend online Orientation
6. Do some study preparation and check out our library resources.
There’s also this very helpful guide on how to get the most out of studying online and all the support services available to assist you.
