Copies of the calculation method are located on the Institute website and can be requested from Reception at Gold Coast International College The refund will be paid to you within 14 days of the day on which Gold Coast International College defaults on the commencement or delivery of the course. Alternatively, you may be offered enrolment in an alternative course by Gold Coast International College at no extra cost to you. You have the right to choose whether you would prefer a refund as outlined above, or to accept a place in another course. If you choose placement in another course, we will ask you to sign a document to indicate that you accept the placement in another course without payment of a refund. If Gold Coast International College is unable to provide a refund or place you in an alternative course the Tuition Protection Service will be responsible for providing refunds or providing assistance to locate an alternative. However, students are primarily responsible for finding another college that will accept them into an alternative course. 6 Refund Calculation Example Provider Default and Student Visa Refusal after Course Commencement 1. The refund amount = weekly tuition fee x the number of weeks in the default period 2. The weekly tuition fee = total tuition fee for the course / number of calendar days in the course x 7. This amount is rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. 3. The number of weeks in the default period = number of calendar days from the default day to the end of the period to which the payment relates / 7 Example Calculation 1 Provider Default Sabrina is enrolled in a course in a 42-week (294 calendar days) course that costs $8,000. She pays the provider $4,000 in tuition fee before commencing the course. This payment relates to the first 12 weeks (84 calendar days) of the course. The provider defaults on day 20 of the course. a) Weekly tuition fee = ($8,000 / 294 calendar days) 7 = ($27.210884) 7, rounded up to the nearest whole dollar = $191 b) Weeks in default period = (84 calendar days to which payment relates 20 calendar days from start of course to default day) / 7 = 64 / 7 = 9.1428571 weeks, rounded up to the nearest whole week = 10 weeks c) Refund amount: Weekly tuition fee weeks in default period = $191 10 = $1,910 Under section 7 of the new refund specification, Sabrina s refund would be $1,910. Example Calculation 2 Student Visa Refusal After Course Commencement Rani is living in Sydney and has just completed a Certificate IV in Hospitality. She decides she would now like to undertake a 40-week (280 calendar day) VET Diploma, and she applies for a new visa. The tuition fee for the whole course are $10,000, but Rani pays $5,000 tuition fee up front for the first half (140 calendar days) of the course. Rani also pays the provider $500 in non-tuition fee. Rani starts the course while awaiting the outcome of her new visa. Two weeks into the course she is refused a visa. She informs her provider and withdraws from the course with effect from the day she was refused the visa (14 calendar days into the course). a) Weekly tuition fee = ($10,000 / 280) 7 = $250 b) Default occurs at day 14, therefore number of calendar days between the default day1 and the end of the period to which the payment of $5000 relates (140 days) is 140 days minus 14 = 126 days (126 / 7) = 18 (weeks in default period) c) Refund amount: Weekly tuition fee weeks in default period = $250 18 = $4,500 7 Prior to a student enrolling fee may be altered without notice. Once a student has completed enrolment, fee will not be subject to change for the normal duration of the course. If a student extends a course length then any fee increases will be required to be paid for the extended component of the course. 8 Any course fee or tuition fee collected by an agent on behalf of Gold Coast International College are treated as fee collected by Gold Coast International College for the purposes of calculating any refund entitlements. Fee collected by Agents and commissions paid to Agents are not deducted from any refunds Gold Coast International College is required to pay to students.
