Deferral

In certain limited situations learners are able to apply to defer or temporarily
suspend their studies. For more information please refer to Deferment, withdrawal
and cancellation Policy and forms located at Acadia College Website. In certain circumstances where a learner breaches Acadia College rules or enrolment, learner code of conduct and visa regulation, the learner may be suspended or their enrolment cancelled. Please refer to the policy and forms located at Acadia College website for more information. Deferment, suspension or cancellation of enrolment can have an effect on a learner’s visa as a result of changes to enrolment status.

Academic Issues

Learners can contact Support Staff or relevant trainers to discuss academic, attendance, or other issues relevant to studying at Acadia College at any time. Support staff will provide advice and guidance, or referral, where required. In the event that a learner’s needs exceed the capacity of the support services Acadia College can offer, they will be referred to an appropriate external agency. Information regarding support agencies, resources and services may be sourced online. Acadia College staff members will assist learners to source appropriate support.

Credit Transfer

Acadia College will provide credit for studies completed at another RTO or at any other authorised issuing organisation, such as a university. In the case of any non-equivalent units of competency, a complete analysis will be undertaken to determine the equivalence of the study completed with the relevant units or modules before granting any credit. Credit transfer (Internal Credit transfer) also applies to units of competency completed at Acadia College as a part of a different course. Internal credit transfer may lead to reduction of course fee and course duration.

Financial Help

Learners who are unable to pay their tuition fees on time for any reason should discuss their problems with the Learner Support staff to make special pay arrangements.
