Fee Payments

It is essential that students uphold their financial responsibilities during their time at College. The following applies to all students:

  • Students are responsible to ensure that all fees are paid promptly.
  • Students will not be permitted to enrol until their fees have been paid.
  • Students wanting to extend their studies will not be permitted to do so if they have not paid their current fees, outstanding library fees or any arrears in rent.
  • Fees can be paid by cheque, credit card, debit card, EFPOS or BPAY. Payment by cash is not available.
  • Fees are to be paid in accordance with the available Payment Options (for Domestic or International Students)

 

Payment Options
There are two payment options available. These apply to both new students and current (returning) students:

Australian and New Zealand Students (Domestic)

  • Pay Tuition Fees for their first semester in order to accept Offer of Place into the course.
  • Pay course fees for their second semester, plus incidental costs 2 weeks prior to the commencement of that semester.
  • Failure to pay by enrolment day will attract an administration fee based on 10% of the semester fees.

 

Note: Australian students enrolled in the College courses may be eligible to receive financial assistance through the Federal Government (Austudy). It is the students’ responsibility to pursue this. (Refer to following page)

 

International Students

  • Pay course fees for their first semester plus incidental costs and Overseas Student Health Cover, in order to accept Offer of Place into the course and prior to the issue of the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
  • Pay course fees for their second semester, plus incidental costs 2 weeks prior to the commencement of that semester.
  • Failure to pay by enrolment date will attract an administration fee based on 10% of the semester fees.

Refund Policy

  1. Where the student withdraws prior to the course commencing, the course fees will be refunded in full.
  2. Where the student withdraws after the commencement of the course, course fees for the current semester and incidental fees will not be refunded. Fees for subsequent semesters will be fully refundable.
  3. Students are required to apply in writing for fee refunds.
  4. All applications for refunds will be processed in 28 days from the day of application.
  5. Where a stream does not run, students have the opportunity to transfer to another stream, or withdraw and request a refund of course fees that have been paid.
  6. The Australian Government has implemented legislation to protect and assist students in the unlikely event that the College ceases operations and is unable to deliver its courses. In particular:
    • International Students will receive assistance under the Australian Government’s Tuition Protection Service (TPS). Information can be found at https://tps.gov.au
    • Australian Students will receive assistance through the Australian Council for Private Education and Training (ACPET) and its Australian Student Tuition Assurance Scheme (ASTAS). Information can be found at www.acpet.edu.au/services/astas

In either case, the service will endeavour to place students with another college in a comparable course or provide a refund of any unused course fees. The College Complaints and Appeals policy does not limit the student’s right to pursue other legal remedies.
