There are two ways to use modems at RMIT. Either you use the RMIT modems or you use
the ISP that RMIT has engaged (for a fee).
Information about the RMIT modems and how you use them should be available from
Building 5.
Information about general RMIT modems is available at http://www.rmit.edu.au/its.
Refer to the contact information under “International Students” on page 87.

There is also theTSG web page at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/tsg.
Text books change from year to year and are not listed here. International students who
wish to purchase a text book before they arrive might contact the lecturer of the given
course. Also see section 12.18 on page 82.
Timetables can be accessed via http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/timetables. From here you will
be able to view the times that lectures, tutorials and labs run for any given course running
in the relevant semester.
Once students have enrolled in courses and obtained their computer account they will
need to log into the Student Timetabling System (STS) to be allocated to their tutes and
labs. This will be done via http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/sts.
You must have maintained a CGPA of at least 2.0 in your Graduate Diploma program to
transfer to the Masters program. You can transfer either after Stage A or later in your
studies. You must apply for the Masters program through OPS (local students) or RMIT
International (international students).
If you transfer to the Masters program, you may still apply to receive a Graduate Diploma
when you have completed eight courses (including the core courses).
