COVID-19 Information for International Students

Every country will have their own border protection measures for COVID-19. It is recommended you visit the respective countries travel restrictions before you plan your travel.

This will depend on your country of study. You can visit the respective country’s visa and travel updates before you plan your travel.

For questions about your accommodation, you should talk to your accommodation provider first. You can also talk to a student service contact officer at your education provider.

If you have a part-time job that you cannot attend due to self-isolation or travel restrictions, you should contact your employer. Let them know of your circumstances and your compliance with advice from the respective country’s Department of Health.

This means you should not attend public events, work, school or visit public areas of university and higher education campuses. You should not attend class in person.

Only people you live with should be permitted to come inside. There is no need to wear masks at home. Arrange for others (such as friends or family who are not required to be isolated) to get food or other necessities for you.

If you must leave your home or residence to seek medical care for example, wear a surgical mask.

Further information on self‑isolation can be found on the respective country’s Department of Health website.

For questions about your start dates, attendance requirements, fees and any topic relating to your study, contact your university or institution. They will guide you on any changes.

If classes have commenced and you are self-isolating, you should notify your lecturer or student services contact officer of your circumstances to determine whether alternate arrangements can be made, such as remote learning opportunities.

In case, your education provider is unable to help or support, you can reach out to the ‘Student support services’ of the respective country.
