6 Pathways to University (SVP) The Australian Government introduced streamlined visa processing (SVP) arrangements on 24th March 2012 for certain student visa applicants with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for bachelor, master or doctoral degree courses at a participating university. Eligible applicants, regardless of their country of origin, are treated as though they are low risk (similar to the current AL1). If the applicant does not have a CoE, they will be processed under the pre-existing AL framework. Kangan Institute is nominated as an education business partner under SVP by La Trobe University and Victoria University. This package allows you to commence a diploma or advanced diploma at a TAFE and, on completion, transfer to university to complete your degree program. When you apply for a packaged program you will receive a student visa for the whole period of your study. SVP applications are required to follow a separate process to that of applying for a stand-alone Kangan program, including the submission of a dual application form and further supporting documentation. Please contact the Kangan Institute International Services office prior to submitting an SVP application for further details.
