You need to complete all tasks listed as mandatory in the My Tasks tile so you can enrol into subjects. By completing these tasks, you’ll accept all terms and conditions of your study and confirm your details as required by La Trobe and the Australian Government.

If there are any incomplete tasks, you won't be able to enrol and secure your place.

Complete pre-enrolment steps

Before you enrol, you must submit a government assistance form (eCAF) to secure your place in the course. However, TPP course costs are covered by the Australian Government via a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), so you won’t have to pay any course fees.

We’ll send an email to your personal email address when your La Trobe student account has been activated. You’ll then need to set up MFA to access your student email and other systems.

Set up your MFA

TPP subjects run during La Trobe Terms. We recommend enrolling for the full year.

The subjects you need to enrol in are based on the TPP level you’re studying:

• TPP Foundation (TPF002O)
• TPP Intermediate (TPI002O)

You can view subject details in the La Trobe Handbook links above or follow the TPP study plan guides below.
