Purpose:

To outline a student’s rights to apply for a refund of tuition fees of a unit enrolment which has not been successfully completed.

Scope:

This policy applies to students who enrolled in a unit(s) of study and have not successfully completed that unit(s), who have been unable to complete the unit(s) of study due to special circumstances.

Statement:

A student who had enrolled in a unit of study may apply after the census date to have their tuition fees refunded (up-front paying students) or their FEE-HELP balance re-credited (FEE-HELP students) if the student has been unable to complete the requirements of a unit of study and the student believes that this was due to special circumstances. Where a refund of up-front paid tuition fees is granted, the amount of tuition fees paid for the unit(s) by the student or other party will be refunded. Where a refund of a FEE-HELP student is
granted, a student’s FEE-HELP debt for the unit(s) will be removed from the student’s records with the Australian Taxation Office and any up-front payment is refunded.
