Payment procedures for tuition fees is as follows:
- An invoice for tuition fees for each term will be sent to students before that term
commences, this can be hand delivered in class or sent to the student’s email account.
- Students are required to pay the tuition fee before the commencement date of each term.
- If a student is having difficulties paying fees on time, they must make an appointment with the Finance Manager to discuss the issue. The Finance Manager will assist in resolving the student’s fee problem and propose a payment plan to the student. Late payment interest may be applicable in some cases, this is calculated from the due date until all required tuition fee are paid.
- Where there is no arrangement in place with the Finance Manager, a flat late payment penalty of AUD$200 applies for any tuition fee payment made after the due date. If students have overdue fees, they may not be eligible to attend classes, complete assessment tasks, enrol in further studies or borrow items from the library.
- If tuition fees are more than 2 weeks overdue and the student has not made any genuine effort to discuss the circumstances with the Finance Manager, Pollard English may cancel the student’s CoE (Confirmation of Enrolment). Pollard English must then inform the Department of Home Affairs through PRISMS about the matter. In the case of an overseas student, the student will be issued with appropriate warning and intention to cancel letters before this cancellation and reporting takes place.
- If a student is suspended or had their enrolment cancelled because of a breach of the student rules, responsibilities and conduct, the student is still required to pay the tuition fees for the term in which they were suspended or had their enrolment cancelled.
Students who defer their studies to a future date, need to be aware that if course fees change during this period, the student will be required to pay the difference in fees.
