Course Transfer

If you wish to transfer your enrolment to another course or another campus, you will need to apply for a course transfer. These are available on a restricted basis. They depend on the existence of unfilled places in the course or at the campus of your choice after students have completed their re-enrolment for the new academic year. Course transfer applicants must meet normal selection criteria and standards for the course to be undertaken. Refer to the online handbook to check that you satisfy the requirements of the course you want to transfer to.

Selection criteria will be based primarily on academic merit. Applications for course transfer close on 30 November each year. You must submit your Application for Course Transfer [128 KB PDF] form to the Faculty of Business and Law at your home campus.

3. Discuss your study plan with a Postgraduate Student Adviser.
4. You will be notified by the Faculty of the outcome via your Deakin email account.
5. Deakin International will email a Letter of Offer and a new Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (E.C.O.E.) to your Deakin email address.
6. Your course transfer will become effective on Student Connect after the release of results.
