After a turbulent week, the question of whether offshore online study during COVID satisfies the Australian Study Requirement (ASR) has finally been settled — with double confirmation from both the Department of Home Affairs website and MIA!
MIA:The Department of Home Affairs has confirmed that although from 25 November 2023 the ASR online-study requirement has reverted to the pre-pandemic position, offshore online study undertaken during the concession period (1 February 2020 to 25 November 2023) does satisfy the Australian Study Requirement (ASR).
