Short Courses FAQs

International Student Visa Holders must be enrolled as a full time student in a CRICOS registered course. International Student Visa Holders interested in undertaking additional non-accredited studies (E.g. Short Courses) will be required to contact the International Centre to verify eligibility requirements on +613 9564 1703 or via email international.admissions@holmesglen.edu.au. Usually, enrolling in a non-accredited course is not an issue for International Student Visa Holders as long as there is no timetable clash with their primary course (which they are completing at Holmesglen or with another provider).
