Fees, charges and refunds
All fees and charges are levied according to the Vocational Education, Training and Employment Regulation 2000 and the Institute fee policy. A full copy of the Regulation can be accessed from the Institute library or the Queensland Government Legislation website.
When do I have to pay my fees?
Payment of fees is required at time of your enrolment.
Am I eligible for a concession on my fees? How do I obtain it?
Concessional card holder - you are entitled to a concession if you are a cardholder or dependant on a card issued by the Commonwealth Law, or a document issued in an official form under the Commonwealth law confirming entitlement to concessions.
Age concession (less than 17) - present an original birth certificate or extract, or a copy of these certified by a JP or Commissioner for Declarations, a driver's licence or a passport. A school identification with a photograph is also acceptable.
Financial hardship - an application can be made to the Institute after speaking to one of our Student support officers.
ATSI - If you identify as an Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander please indicate where applicable.
What if I can't pay my fees now?
When the total amount of tuition, student amenities and material fees payable is greater that $75, students may apply for time to pay.
The appropriate application form must be completed prior to enrolling. Where an application is approved, a series of instalments will be generated with consideration given to the length of the course (weekly, fortnightly, and monthly options are available). The first instalment is payable at the time of enrolment. Where a textbook is used across a number of modules, the full material fee will be included in the first instalment.
Time to pay will not be approved where students have outstanding fees from a previous enrolment and where students have a history of bad debt or irregular repayment.
Students will be sent a monthly statement of amounts owing. Students with instalments overdue by sixty days or more will be referred to a registered debt collection agency.
Students who withdraw from classes will be liable for payment of the remainder of their instalment plan if they are not eligible for a refund (see section on refunds). Students who wish to apply for cancellation of the balance of their instalment need to make application via an application for refund form. Written notification will be provided if a student is ineligible for cancellation of the balance of their instalment
What if I'm not paying for my own fees?
Written confirmation or a purchase order from the relevant authority detailing the enrolment must be produced on or prior to the enrolment process.
What if I have outstanding or overdue payments?
If you have outstanding or overdue payments to the institute, you may not be eligible to:
-
undertake or submit assessment
-
continue study
-
enrol into further study with the institute
-
borrow items from the library
-
attend the institute graduation ceremony (for graduation applicable programs).
What happens if the course is cancelled?
Where the Institute cancels a government funded subject or ACE course before it starts, then fees will be refunded in full.
Does the TAFE offer a refund policy?
The Mount Isa Institute of TAFE has a refund policy, which is available on enrolment for new students.
