What is PRISMS?

A PRISMS – the Provider Registration and International Students Management System – is the DEEWR-managed database that education institutions use to notify DIAC of each student’s enrolment in a course. Every course that an institution offers to overseas students must be registered on PRISMS. (These institutions and courses are also listed in CRICOS – the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.) Providers notify DIAC of a student’s enrolment before the student applies for a student visa to study in Australia. The enrolment information generates an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) as evidence of enrolment in a registered, full-time course. This CoE enables DIAC to issue a student visa. Providers also use PRISMS to notify DIAC of students who may have breached the terms of their student visa – for example when the student has not been attending classes or making satisfactory course progress.
