Each year there is a limited number of vacancies for international students at Scotch College. Enrolment of an international student is dependent on parents accepting specific Conditions of Enrolment. International students are those students who are not Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents of Australia. The process for admission of international students is in keeping with immigration legislation and procedures.
The stages of admission are as follows:
1. Application All applicants are required to complete and lodge an Application for Admission Form and pay an Application Fee. Applicants are required to submit the following documents with their application:
-
Photocopy of passport
-
Most recent School Report
-
Results of any public examinations
2. English Language Testing International students require an adequate command of English so that they can manage the work in mainstream classes. Scotch College does not offer Intensive English classes however, English as a Second Language (ESL) is available.
3. Formal Offers of Admission An offer of admission will generally be made on or after 1 March in the year preceding entry. Acceptance of a place of admission requires international applicants to complete and sign the following documents:
-
Confirmation of Place
-
Enrolment Agreement
-
Health and Personal Details Form
-
Student Admission Questionnaire
4. Payment of Fees International students are required to pay one semester's tuition and boarding fees in advance by 30 October, of the year preceding entry (an alternative date will be determined for late applicants). The second semester's fees are due and payable by 30 June each year.
5. Health Cover International students are required to have Overseas Student Health Cover. An application form for this health cover will be forwarded with formal offers of admission. Payment for health cover must be made in advance.
6. Visa On completion of the abovementioned steps, ScotchCollege will issue the Applicant with a Confirmation of Enrolment Form and Welfare Statement which will enable the Applicant to apply for a student visa (Schools Visa - subclass 571).
PLEASE NOTE: There may be some variations to steps 4, 5 and 6 for students who hold some types of Temporary Residency Visa, or who reside in Level 4 countries.
