TAFE NSW INTERNATIONAL STUDENT APPLICATION FORM FOR VOCATIONAL COURSES

TERMS AND CONDITIONS Please retain a copy of the terms and conditions for your records.

TAFE NSW defines a study period as the following:• Vocational study 1 semester (18 teaching weeks). Students

commencing a course in months other than February or July the study period will be defined in the offer letter

• English language courses up to 24 weeks, the study period will be the duration of the course. Courses over 24 weeks the study period will be 10 weeks.

1 REVIEW OF TUITION FEESTAFE NSW reserves the right to review its fees and charges. If tuition fees are changed, you will be required to pay the new fees from the commencement of the next semester. If you defer your course, you will be required to pay the fees applicable at your new commencement date.

2 VARIATION OF TUITION FEESIf you are required to repeat subjects to complete your course of study or granted a variation to your study load due to recognition of prior learning, a pro-rata fee will apply if the number of hours of study is less than 50 percent of a standard semester load. However, if the number of hours of study is equal to or more than 50 percent of a standard semester load, a full semester fee will apply.

3 TAFE NSW VOCATIONAL AND PACKAGED PROGRAMS(i) Payment of Fees• New students must pay the registration fee, English language tuition fee for a course of 24

weeks or less (if applicable), OSHC, and one semester’s vocational course tuition fee by the due date stated in the letter of offer. This must be paid prior to the start of the course. The next semester fee is payable two weeks before the commencement of the second semester/study period.

• For a package of TAFE NSW English (of more than 24 weeks) and vocational course program, new students must pay the application fee, OSHC, English Language tuition fee (maximum of 50 precent of the total course fee), $2000 tuition fee for the first semester of vocational course by the due date stated in the letter of offer and prior to the start of the English course. The balance of English Language tuition fee must be paid two weeks before the second study period (if applicable) and the balance of vocational course fee for the first semester must be paid three weeks before the commencement of the vocational course.

• When you pay fees for a packaged English language and vocational course with TAFE NSW, the fees for the English language course are charged at the packaged fee rate per week. If you withdraw from the TAFE vocational course, then the normal English language fee applies.

• Continuing English language students must pay the remainder of their tuition fee for their English language course of study by the due date on their additional fee statement (two weeks before the commencement of the next study period) or a late payment fee of A$200 will apply. Failure to pay the fees may lead to cancellation of enrolment. Academic results will be withheld when fees are outstanding.
