Each student visa application is assessed according to an assessment level. The assessment level is determined by the passport held, and Visa Subclass.

The assessment levels relate generally to how likely students are to comply with their visa conditions, based on previous students’ behaviour.

Assessment level 1 represents the lowest assessment level and assessment level 5 the highest. The higher the assessment level, the more evidence you will need to provide to demonstrate your financial capacity, understanding of the English language and other relevant matters.
