Students who are granted Australian permanent residency, Australian citizenship or New Zealand citizenship may request a change to their residency status on their student record.
How residency status is used
Residency status determines whether a student is classified as a domestic or international student. This classification affects how certain University requirements apply, including study load, program leave, enrolment conditions, tuition fees, and eligibility for other forms of assistance from the University or the Australian Government.
Submission deadline
The University must be notified of any change to residency status on or before the census date for the relevant course(s) in order for any adjustments to tuition fees or Commonwealth Financial Assistance to apply.
Residency status changes cannot be applied retrospectively for courses where the census date has passed.
Required documentation
A request must include evidence of the new residency status. Examples include:
- Australian citizenship certificate or Australian passport
- evidence of Australian permanent residency
- New Zealand citizenship certificate or New Zealand passport
The University may request additional documentation where required to verify residency status.
Document certification requirements
Documents submitted as a certified copy must meet 黑料天堂requirements for certification. Detailed instructions for obtaining a certified copy within Australia and offshore can be found on the Document Certification and Translation webpage.
How to submit a request
Option 1: Submit in person
Present your original documentation or a certified colour copy to Student Central in the Student Hub.
Option 2: Submit by email
Email a scanned copy of a certified colour copy of the documentation to student@anu.edu.au from your 黑料天堂student email account.
