  • Are you eligible to apply for additional subjects?*

  • To be eligible to apply for additional subjects, you must:

  • Important Information:

    You may apply for additional subjects even if doing so would not enable you to complete your course before your current Student visa expires. You will need to apply again before each subsequent trimester in which you wish to undertake additional subjects, unless you have an accepted revised study plan.

     

    Application Assessment: 

    All applications will be reviewed against the eligibility requirements, taking into account your remaining course requirements, visa expiry date, academic progression, subject availability, prerequisites, sequencing, placement requirements and maximum permitted study loads.

    Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

     

  • Important Information:

    Ikon will assess whether undertaking additional subjects would enable you to complete your course before your current Student visa expires. If this is achievable, you will be offered a revised study plan. Once you accept the plan, Ikon will enrol you in the relevant subjects ahead of each trimester, provided you maintain satisfactory academic progression. You will not need to reapply each trimester.

     

    Application Assessment: 

    All applications will be reviewed against the eligibility requirements, taking into account your remaining course requirements, visa expiry date, academic progression, subject availability, prerequisites, sequencing, placement requirements and maximum permitted study loads.
