Refund Processing

Refund forms are not processed during the change of enrolment period (two weeks either side of the commencement of studies) due to the variable nature of students' course load. The exceptions to this are where there is a total withdrawal or intermission from the course or a change in enrolment status from full-time to part-time.

The Fees Section undertakes regular reconciliations of student accounts and will advise of any credit available to current and previous students by letter sent at the end of each year. Any credit may be refunded or applied to the next charge levied by the University.

Refund of Amenities Fee

The amenities fee charge may vary with changes in course load. A refund of amenities fees will be granted for changes occurring prior to the census date for the semester. See Amenities fees
