What if I get Australian permanent residency?
If your residency status changes during the application process, or before or after you commence your studies, you advise La Trobe University immediately.
If you apply as an international student, but become an Australian permanent resident before you enrol, your full-fee paying place will be withdrawn and you will have to re-apply for your course as a local student.
If you start your course as an international student, but officially become an Australian permanent resident after the census date of your current teaching period, you will be considered an international student until the end of that teaching period.
Please complete the Change of citizenship or residency status form to inform us of a change of citizenship. You will need to provide a certified copy of your Australian Citizenship Certificate or residency change document and a copy of your passport with the change reflected.
