Defer your Enrolment

As seen in your Terms & Conditions:

"11. DEFERRAL
11.1. You can defer your attendance at the course. However, once you decide to defer your
course, you will not be eligible for a refund for a change of mind after the deferral date.
11.2. Deferrals are normally allowed once and for a period of no more than 12 months."

 

To defer your enrolment is to postpone your enrolment. Which results in pausing your progression and any time limits on your enrolment.

 

Why would a student need to defer their enrolment? Each student will have their own reason and is not obligated to disclose a reason. Some examples however if you are curious can be travelling, work commitments or any other obligations temporarily affecting your ability to study.

 

How does it work? Once you have alerted Student Support in writing of your request to defer and for how long you can expect a temporary suspension of your student portal. Meaning you will not have access to classes and or course materials such as e-learnings and assessments etc during this time. This allows us to freeze any time limits on your enrolment. Once the time taken to defer has been completed your portal access will be opened and you can continue with your enrolment.

 

 

 

Q: Is a deferral the same as an extension? A: No, deferrals come at no charge and only pause your studies. If before you defer you have 6 months to complete your enrolment when you return from your deferral you will still have 6 months to complete your enrolment. Extensions, extend your time to complete the course and do come at a fee. 

Q: I am on a payment plan, do I still have to make payments during deferral? A: Yes, you can only defer your enrolment which does not include payments. You are still expected to satisfy any payment agreements you have taken with externals or IAP. A deferral of enrolment is not a means of financial relief. 

 

Q: I deferred for X months but i'm ready to return sooner, is this okay? A: Yes, you can return any time by letting student support know. You have up to 12 months and do not need to take it all at once.
