- If applicable, your signed Advanced Standing letter. This letter outlines credits and exemptions from prior study. If you haven’t already applied for Advanced Standing and believe you are eligible, please send an email to international.admissions@murdoch.edu.au
*Unless your country has an insurance arrangement in place, you'll need to purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for yourself and members of your family to be covered for the duration of your student visa. At Murdoch University our preferred OSHC provider is Allianz Care Australia, and their rate is quoted on your Confirmation of Offer letter.
Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
Once the above documents have been submitted and reviewed, you'll receive an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) letter. This letter is evidence that will allow you to begin your visa application process through The Department of Home Affairs, also known as Immigration.
Organising your student visa
All international students require a valid visa in order to study in Australia. You can apply for your student visa by either visiting The Department of Home Affairs website, or with the assistance of your agent.
In addition to your Confirmation of Enrolment, you may be required to provide other documentation as part of your visa application, including financial, health insurance, and language skills evidence.
Please note, if you are under the age of 18, the Australian Government requires additional documents in regard to accommodation, support and welfare arrangements, before you can accept your offer letter and be granted a student visa.

Once your acceptance is processed, you'll be able to activate your student account, using the Murdoch Student Number in your Confirmation of Offer letter.

We recommend visiting the Murdoch University Online Response System as soon as possible after accepting your offer. After activating your student account and creating a password, you'll be able to enrolling in units and choose your timetable.
Your student email address will be your STUDENT NUMBER followed by “@student.murdoch.edu.au”. For example 12345678@student.murdoch.edu.au. You can access your student inbox through the Outlook website.
