Information for Students Under 18
CAAW Issuance
Students under the age of 18 must make special arrangements for their accommodation, support and general
welfare. Trinity College can assist students with this process at the time of
enrolment.

the care and welfare of international students under the age of 18.
If your arrangements are satisfactory and in accordance with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) we will issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) and Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation / Welfare (CAAW).
