How this will affect your fees

Changing from international to domestic or the other way around will affect your course fees. They will change to reflect your visa status, and if the change occurs:

• before the census date,it will affect your fees for those units
• after the census date, it will not change your fees until the following teaching period.

See census dates and teaching periods.

From Australian Permanent Residence Visa (APRV) to Australian citizen

Holders of an APRV who obtain Australian citizenship should notify the University immediately to request an update to your student record.

You should:

• show proof of Australian citizenship at Monash Connect on your campus
• submit this before the census date or the changes will not take effect until the next semester.
