Australian law requires International students to study at a full time study load. A full-time study load is normally a minimum of 20 hours per week for the registered study period. Please be aware that if your attendance drops below 80% over any 10-weeks period the College is required to review your involvement, counsel you, implement an intervention strategy and, if poor attendance persists and it is unlikely that you can bring your overall attendance to the 80% when you finish the course, the College has to report you to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). The report to DIBP may lead to the cancellation of your visa.

20 hours per week face to face teaching for English Courses; 15 hours per week face to face teaching plus 5 hours distance/online learning for VET courses.

If you do not have satisfactory academic progress, you will be reported to DIBP which may lead to cancellation of your visa. Unsatisfactory academic progress is defined as failing more than 50% of units in any two consecutive study periods (20 weeks). A failure in more than 50% of units in one study period (10 weeks) will trigger a review of academic progress by the College and the implementation of an intervention strategy.

If you wish to discontinue your course, you will need to contact Student Services immediately and formally request your enrolment to be canceled by completing the Course Variation Form which is available at the reception.

Requests for leave outside the set holidays will be approved under compassionate and compelling circumstances only. Leave requests must be received in writing with supporting documents.

Tuition fees refer to the total course fees and do not include application fees, RPL fees, Material fees, Textbook fees, Stationary Fees and Cost of living.

Students must pay each and every instalment two weeks before or on the due date. The College does not have to provide “reminder” notices. Failure to pay on time will attract a late payment penalty $200 and the student will not be permitted to attend classes or appear for assessments, nor shall the College
grant any administrative requests. The College reserves the right to cancel your enrolment, notify DIBP and take legal action where fees remain overdue. All recovery costs will be charged to you in addition to the outstanding fees. Where a fee is more than 14 days overdue, your enrolment will be canceled.
