CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICIES

• Notices of cancellation are not effective until written notification is received by the Sydney College of English (SCE). All refunds are in Australian dollars.

• If you must withdraw from a course because the Australian government will not issue you with a visa, tuition fees will be refunded in full on presentation of the letter from the relevant Australian authority stating that the visa application has not been successful.

• If you withdraw from the course for any other reason and notify the SCE in writing 28 days or more before the course begins, an amount no less than 90% of tuition fees will be refunded.

• If you withdraw from the course less than 28 days before the course begins, an amount no greater than 8 weeks' tuition fees will be retained by SCE.

• In such cases, any refund will be made within 4 weeks of written notification of withdrawal from the course ESOS Act 2000 Sections 28.3 & 29.4.

• If you withdraw after you have started your course, no fees will be refunded.

• A cancellation fee will apply if less than 4 weeks' notice is given for cancelling homestay, either before the course starts or after the course has started.

• In all cases above, the enrolment fee, and the accommodation placement fee are not refundable. Bank charges are deducted for refunds made by bank draft or electronic transfer.

• SCE adheres to the policy of refunding fees to the student's chosen overseas account. However, in cases of extreme hardship SCE will consider onshore refund payments. In either case this is determined at the discretion of the principal executive officer.

• Tuition fees are not transferable.

• In the unlikely event of default by SCE situations are covered by the provisions of the ESOS Act 2000 and the ESOS regulations 2001.

Grievance Statement

SCE has in place appropriate arrangements for independent grievance dispute resolution. However, these dispute resolution processes do not circumscribe your right to pursue other legal remedies. By signing the SCE enrolment form, you agree with SCE's enrolment, cancellation and refund policies but this does not remove your right to take further action under Australia's consumer protection laws.

SCE Privacy Statement

For all students' visa holders, information provided by the students to SCE may be made available to Commonwealth and State agencies and the Fund Manager of the ESOS Assurance Fund, pursuant to the ESOS Act 2000 and the National Code. SCE is required under this act to report to the relevant government department certain changes to a student visa condition relating to attendance or satisfactory academic performance.
