[Self Funded, Tuition Waived]

Dear students,

Greetings from La Trobe University!

We are pleased to advise that the online Application system for Exchange and Study Abroad students (Undergraduate & Postgraduate) for Semester 2, 2019 (Jul-Nov) is now open.

We have attached a number of documents to assist students through the application process:

·         Exchange & Study Abroad Application Instructions
INBOUND EXCHANGE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS guide Sem 2 2019

·         Exchange & Study Abroad fact sheet
LTA_FactSheet_Exchange Partners

·         ISIS Student application portal guide
ISIS Student Portal Guide

·         Subject search guide
Subject Search Guide_2019_updated

Nomination & Application:

·         Students’ Official Academic Transcript signed by a representative from international office declaring that they have sighted the original document

·         Where English is not your first language – Official English Language Proficiency results (i.e. not an electronic unofficial email print out), signed by a representative from international office declaring that they have sighted the original document.

All students should then follow the instructions in the attached Exchange & Study Abroad Application Instructions. We encourage all home university coordinators to also review these Instructions as it includes essential information.

If  students will join via our Study Abroad Program (tuition paying), we do not require the online nomination to be completed, however be sure to notify us that they will be applying, so we can keep a look out for their applications.

Applications for exchange will only be considered if they have been officially nominated by their home institution.

Application outcomes:

We estimate that applications will take around 6-8 weeks for assessment. Once the process is completed offers will be automatically generated and sent to the students directly, with home institutions copied into the notification email from our office ( note this is separate to the automated application system status update).
