Hey @igor90 would you mind sharing what you d me as I am in the same boat.  My details are as follows:

- Exams end on 19th Novmeber- 2017

- Results released on 01- December 2017

- COE expires on 31st- December 2017

- Student Visa expires 01-March 2018

- Award date of degree sometime in mid January 2018

I want to travel after my exams end i.e. from 19th November 2017; I want to know till when can I travel can it be till the second week of January i.e. after my results and coe both end or should I plan to return  by December end before my COE expires. My other alternative is to wait to apply for the 485 temporary visa after my results are released and then travel either on it or get a bridging visa B (though I read on the dibp website you cannot gain a bridging visa B if you currently hold a substantive visa which would be my student visa:p) Would greatly appreciate anyone's help on whether they allow rentry into Australia after coe expires but student visa is valid. Thanks

On topic, i found this on the website of my University in the info section.

 

Visa Expiry Date

The length of your current student visa, for the program you are completing, depends on the length of the electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE) you used to apply for your student visa:

 

 

• If your eCOE was less than 10 months in length, your visa is usually valid for another 28 days after your eCOE expires.
•  
• If your eCOE was greater than 10 months your visa is usually valid for 2 months from the date your eCOE expires. The general exception is when your eCOE expires at the end of the academic year (after November 1): the expiry date on your student visa will usually be March 15 of the following year. If this situation applies to you, you can stay in Australia on your student visa until this expiry date.

 

 

I guess according to this i am free to travel overseas and come back before the expiration of my visa and apply for 485 visa before the 1st of September.
