Selection and Enrolment Procedure

Applications for admission for students on a student visa are processed by Hays International College.
When prospective students apply to enter Hays International College to study for Certificate or Diploma courses, the following criteria apply:

• The Director of Studies & Education assesses the applicant’s educational qualifications (either obtained in Australia or overseas) necessary for studying at a certificate or diploma level. The applicant is also assessed to determine whether the applicant has the required entry level competencies for the particular course in which the student wants to enroll.
  
  
• If the applicant’s educational qualifications do not meet the College’s admission requirements, other factors may be considered. These are:
  
  
  • Mature age,
    
  • Work experience,
    
  • Attitude and aptitude,
    
  • Previous academic results,
    
  • Attendance rate in a previous college,
    
  • Ability and skills to function in an academic environment,
    
  • Possibility to succeed in his/her academic endeavours.
    
  • Having arrived at an admission decision, the English language skills (language and literacy) will be assessed. If the student has a satisfactory IELTS score, e.g. IELTS 5.5, the applicant will be admitted to his/her chosen course. (Not applicalble for short courses on a tourist visa)
    
  • If an applicant cannot produce a satisfactory IELTS score, and there are doubts about the English language skills to cope in an academic environment, the applicant is advised to enroll in an English (ELICOS) course for an appropriate duration until the student achieves an IELTS score of 5.5.
    
  • In a situation where the student can demonstrate that he or she can communicate in English but cannot produce any formal English qualification as described above, then the student will be required to complete an IELTS test or equivalent in Melbourne.
    The students for each program offered by the College will be selected in a manner that reflects access and equity principles.
