You need to apply for a student visa. To be granted a student visa you must complete a visa application form, lodge it with the evidence required, pay the application charge and satisfy the student visa requirements. You can be granted a student visa only if you intend to study a registered course on a full-time basis and meet with a number of visa conditions after you have entered Australia.
To be granted a student visa you must satisfy the visa requirements and meet with a number of visa conditions for attendance and academic performance which come into effect after your entry in Australia. Your Student (Temporary) Visa will list the conditions that apply specifically to you. It is important to meet with your visa conditions to avoid visa cancellation. Student visa information on this website is an outline only and subject to change. For more detailed, accurate and up-to-date information on student visas and visa requirements please check with DREAM BIG ABROAD EDUCATION .

Country assessment levels
Each education sector in each country is rated according to 3 Assessment Levels based on the levels of students not meeting with their visa conditions. The visa requirements or Evidentiary Standards you must satisfy are increasingly difficult from Assessment Level 1 through to Assessment Level 3. Further information on country assessment levels can be found at the Australian Immigration website.
Evidentiary standards/Assessment Factors
Financial ability to cover air fares, tuition fees and other expenses related to your education and stay in Australia
English language proficiency
likely compliance with visa conditions
any other relevant matters such as age, academic background and usefulness of course for employment and immigration history
capacity to support any family unit members for the duration of your stay in Australia
the specific provisions for each of these depend upon the country assessment level and are described on the Australian Immigration Website
Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment
An Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) is issued by your Australian education provider and is the only accepted evidence of enrolment for processing student visa applications. Contingent on your country of nationality and your principal course of study you have to apply under the appropriate assessment level after an institution issues an eCoE. The institution will advise you of its requirements but generally it will require payment of at least one semester of course fees before issuing an eCoE. A copy of your eCoE will be submitted for getting a student visa.
Information collected through the eCoE process includes the student visa application, visa grant and visa compliance data from a student’s arrival in Australia and course commencement through to their departure from Australia. For more details on Visa Documentation & Visa Checklist.

Visa Decision
As Australia has done away with student visa stamping in the passport to travel and enter Australia, a visa decision is intimated to the applicant electronically via email, once a decision has been made by the visa authorities.
If approved the department will send a Notification of Grant letter to your nominated postal or email address. It is recommended that you print this letter and keep it with you when you travel to and from Australia. This letter contains:
your Visa Grant Number
the validity date of your visa
the visa conditions.
If not approved the department will send you a notification letter advising you of:
the reasons for the refusal
your review rights
time limit for lodging an appeal.
Your rights for a review of the decision differ:
if you lodged in Australia, the refusal letter advises you of your review rights and the time limit for lodging an appeal
if you lodged outside Australia, you have no right for a review of the merits of the decision
