Payment of Fees

Fees must be paid in advance on a trimester by trimester basis on enrolment in the Unit of study. The payment cycle occurs prior to the Unit commencing and you will be notified by the College of the exact date by which payment must be made. At the start of the Course, fees for the first Trimester must be paid no later than six (6) weeks prior to the commencement of the Trimester. Fees for subsequent trimesters must be paid no later than two (2) weeks prior to commencement.

Payment can be made via bank cheque or bank transfer to the college bank account. If you need other payment options or assistance, please send an email to [email protected]. The College may exclude students who have not paid the due fees and charges by the end of the second week of the trimester. In the event that the student has undertaken study, they will remain liable for any unpaid, outstanding debts.

Student Refund Policy

The College is committed to ensuring fair and equitable policies and procedures are in place with regard to student fee refunds. A full refund of Unit fees will be paid when one of the following occurs:

• A student withdraws from a Unit/s prior to the applicable census date
• An offer of enrolment is withdrawn by the college – except where the offer was made on the basis of incorrect of incomplete information being supplied by the applicant.
• The college is unable to provide the course or Unit in which the student is enrolled
• The student is not permitted to enrol due to Unit requirements – such as completing a pre-requisite Unit – not being satisfied.

Applications for refund must be made on a Request for Student Refund form and submitted to Student Services. Refund applications will be reviewed and are subject to College approval.

Approved refunds will be processed for domestic students within four (4) weeks of the Request for Student Refund form being received.

Refunds can be processed directly into a nominated bank account through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Refunds cannot be made in cash.

Where a third party such as a scholarship agency pays the student fees (for domestic students), refunds will be paid to that third party.

A refund is not usually granted after the census date, but in special circumstances may be granted on a pro-rata basis accounting for the time elapsed since the census date and the request for a refund. Refer to Sydney Met ‘Fees and Refund Policy & Procedure’.
