What are balances?
A partner institution and RMIT have an agreement to exchange a set number of students per year, these numbers are usually balanced out over a period of three years. The Education Abroad Office maintains and reviews the balances each semester. For example, some institutions we may only be permitted to nominate two students to go out on exchange for the semester, others may be higher. Where a situation arises that RMIT have sent too many students to a particular institution (out of balance) we will be requested to put the agreement on ‘hold’ until the balances have evened out. That is, the host institution has sent more students to RMIT.
