Step 1: Accept your offer
To accept your offer, you will need to complete and submit the Student Acceptance and Payment Agreement.
Important: Graduate Degree Package (GDP) offer acceptance
If you accepted an offer in December but have now received a January GDP offer you want to accept instead, you’ll need to submit an enquiry so we can process your acceptance for you. If you did not already accept an offer, you can follow the Get Started steps to complete your acceptance.
Check emails
If you have any difficulties accepting your offer, please check your emails for more information. Some programs have reached capacity, which means course offers for these programs have lapsed. If you have questions, check your email for details.
Conditional offer information
If your offer is conditional, then you'll need to meet the conditions in your offer letter before you will receive an unconditional offer letter and can complete your enrolment online as below. Please follow the instructions in your conditional offer letter to meet these conditions and ensure you accept your conditional offer by the due date.
Complete your agreement
The International Student Acceptance and Payment Agreement is a contract between you and the University. You will need to complete and submit the agreement to receive your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
To complete your agreement, you must:
Choose your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Maintaining private health insurance while in Australia is a visa condition for International students. Bupa is the University of Melbourne’s preferred Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) insurance provider, offering a policy that is designed for international students. You will benefit from having a Bupa representative on campus to answer your health cover questions. The policy is approved by the Department of Home Affairs and can be the most convenient option for students. Review the policy details to check whether this policy is right for you.
To arrange this cover, simply indicate on your Student Acceptance and Payment Agreement form that you'd like the University to arrange a visa-length OSHC policy for you. You'll also need to pay the OSHC premium along with your tuition fee deposit.
Further details can be found on our Overseas Student Health Cover page, or on your offer letter.
Pay for or show evidence of OSHC, and pay the tuition fee deposit
When you accept your offer to study, you must pay a minimum tuition fee deposit of $17,000 (AUD). This fee deposit will be deducted from your remaining tuition fees. The deposit can be paid with your OSHC as outlined in your offer letter.

Scholarship recipients
If you’ve received a scholarship that covers the full amount of your course tuition fees and OSHC, you are not required to pay the fee deposit or any OSHC payment*.
Along with your agreement, please include a letter from the scholarship provider addressed to the University of Melbourne detailing the following:
- Name of student covered
- The courses the tuition fees cover, including start and end dates
- Whether OSHC is covered, including start and end dates
- Invoicing address.
*If your OSHC is not covered by your scholarship or the funds to purchase OSHC are paid by the sponsor to you directly, you must either pay for the university to arrange your OSHC with Bupa or arrange your own OSHC.
If your course tuition fees are not fully covered by the scholarship you will still need to pay a deposit.
Complete and submit the Student Acceptance and Payment Agreement
Please ensure you read the agreement carefully prior to accepting it. During the acceptance process you will need to submit copies of the following documents:
- A copy of your passport
- Evidence of tuition fee payment
- Evidence of your Overseas Student Health Cover premium (OSHC)
- Your financial guarantee letter (applicable to sponsored students only).

If you have already been studying in Australia on a student visa
If you already have a CoE for a course of the same level at another institution, you may need to obtain permission to transfer to a course at the University of Melbourne.
If a release is required, make sure your release has been approved by your previous institution before you accept your University of Melbourne offer.
For further information on transfers please refer to the international student transfer policy.
