Students may be eligible to pay by instalments from the second study period provided they abide by the conditions set out below:

Payment of tuition fees by instalment

1. This option does not apply where a sponsor, employer, or any other person, or organization, pays a student’s fees and charges.

2. The option applies only to the course tuition fees. All other fees and charges, for which the student is liable to pay, as a condition of enrolment, must be paid in full by the due date specified in the letter of offer.

3. At least thirty percent (30%) of the annual course tuition fees must be paid by the due dates specified on the Statement of Account (that is, January and June of each year).

4. The balance of the course tuition fees may be paid progressively in any amounts, and at times which suit each student, provided that the total amount is paid by no later than April, for study period 1, and September, for study period 2 course tuition fees.

5. Extensions of time will not be granted for either the initial payment, or the final payment. A late fee penalty of $50 per week (or part thereof) is payable on all unpaid amounts.

6. If a variation to an enrolment results in an increase in the amount of course tuition fees, no extensions of time will be granted for payment of the additional fees.

7. If a student fails to make the required payments, or has not contacted the College by the applicable due date(s) for payment, the student’s enrolment may be suspended within 14 days of the due date Top

Fee Protection

For tuition protection ACOT assures the security of student fees through its compliance with the requirements of the Education Services for Overseas Students Act (ESOS) and the Tuition Protection Service (TPS).

Full refund

The Australian College of Trade Pty Ltd will make a full refund of course fees paid in the following circumstances:

i Application for an initial student visa is unsuccessful.
• In this case the Australian College of Trade Pty Ltd, reserves the right to retain the application fee of A$250. A request for refund in writing and proof of visa refusal from the Australian Government must be sent to the Australian College of Trade Pty Ltd upon visa refusal to claim a refund of course tuition fees. This refund of course tuition fees will be paid to the applicant within 28 days of acceptance of the claim.

ii  The Australian College of Trade reserves the right to cancel or postpone any course prior to its scheduled commencement date. In such circumstances:
• A full refund of course tuition fees will be made within 14 days of the date the course ceases to be offered by ACOT  

Partial refund

The Australian College of Trade Pty Ltd will make a partial refund of tuition fees to students who wish to withdraw provided written notice of withdrawal is received from a candidate at least 28 days prior to the initial course commencement.
Maximum partial refund of the first term’s fees will be refunded less application fee of A$250. Where a student has not paid the full course fees at date of withdrawal they will still be liable for 50% of the first term’s fees plus the application fee.

No Fee refund

No refund will be paid where written notice of withdrawal is received from a candidate less than 28 days from course commencement or once the course has commenced.

In the event that an extension to your student visa is not granted a refund will not be issued. You are advised not to enrol if you believe your student visa may not be extended.

No refund will be paid to a student that seeks to transfer to another education provider prior to completion of six months study of the principal course enrolled. Students will not be granted approval for a transfer until all fees for which they are liable have been paid.

Should a student’s enrolment be cancelled because of infringement of the Australian College of Trade Pty Ltd’s disciplinary Policy or for a breach of student visa conditions, no refund of current term fees will be paid. Students who have not paid at the time of cancellation will still be liable to pay all outstanding fees.

Refund Requests

Application for a refund of fees in accordance with this Refund Policy must be made in writing, using the request for refund pro-forma ES0052, (available from reception) stating reasons and relevant details. This must be submitted to the

Approvals

Payment of Refund

All refunds for which a student is eligible will be forwarded to the person who paid the fees in his or her home country, unless the student is transferring to another institution in Australia (subject to Visa conditions), in which case any refund may be remitted to that institution. The Australian College of Trade Pty Ltd will provide the student with a statement detailing the calculation of the refund.
