Note:
The PRISMS Information system is the source of ESOS Student Visa Holder data. It provides a means for education and training providers to comply with legislative requirements by:

• issuing bona fide confirmations of enrolments (COE) as 'evidence of enrolment' in a registered full-time course, as required for the issue of a student visa by DIAC, and
• reporting changes in course enrolment, particularly where study ceases (non-compliance), or the duration of the study changes. PRISMS also facilitates the monitoring of student compliance with visa conditions, as well as provider compliance with the ESOS Act.
