Facilitated learning, such as tutorials, workshops, labs, studios, practicals and lectorials, will be delivered face-to-face on campus, where possible, with safety measures in place. If you are not be able to attend campus due to travel restrictions or legitimate personal circumstances you will either be offered the option to take equivalent online activities or complete activities on campus at a future date.
While RMIT will make every effort to ensure students who cannot attend campus in Semester 1 2021 are not disadvantaged, it may result in delays to progression and program completion.
Can I still apply even if borders are closed?
Yes. You can start studying online from home and once the borders open and is safe to travel you can join RMIT in Australia.
