QUOTE(chris_c28 @ Jun 25 2007, 03:24 PM) Has anyone seen the new revised changes to the ESOS Act affecting international students? http://aei.dest.gov.au/AEI/ESOS/default.htmUniversities across the nation should now be announcing these changes to their students and how it affects them. Basically, the new policy now makes study visa extension rules stricter than before. Students are required to complete their degrees within the timeframe set in their eCOE and extensions are only granted on exceptional grounds. Afaik, students are encouraged to overload if they think they can't finish their degrees on time (because they may have switched courses or done less than a full load previously). I've tried asking the international student support group at my uni and they said it won't affect the majority of students and that at this point in time, nobody knows the full effects as the implementation only begins July 1st. whao big shit man...cant fail la like tat ~ |

http://aei.dest.gov.au/AEI/ESOS/NatCodeRevised_pdf.htmOutlines the difference between and old and the new code. chris_c28 has summarised it excellently. This is a shock to me. Usually any changes in immigration and education laws affecting international students would spread like wildfire in the chinese speaking community. I haven't heard anything about it. Habis lah! One extra reason why I can't fail.

I don't know if there's any Malaysian Hall in other states, i'm talking about the one in Sydney. As far as i know, my friend who's not a bumi had lived there when she first arrive, though she didn't stay long as that was merely a temporary accommodation for her. But take note that you can only stay there for a limited period of time afaik, i heard its either 1 semester or 1 year, but don't take my words for it, better check with them yourself. |
