All monies paid at the time of deferment are non-refundable unless the deferment is lodged in the weeks before the academic year begins, whereby all fees minus the enrolment and student association fee will be refunded. I may elect to transfer this money to the following year or transfer to another course which is offered by the Institute.

Students who have paid for the course are permitted to defer for no more than one year, otherwise they will need to sit for a re-entry examination to continue. A $100.00 charge will apply for this examination.

Note: Deferment is not available to overseas students except under exceptional circumstances. Please consult with the Student Support Officer in relation to this area.

NB: You will be required to pay a re-enrolment fee of $100 to offset the extra administrative costs when you resume your studies.

Overseas Students Deferment
Students on student visa are not permitted to defer the commencement date of their course unless on grounds of medical reasons (illness), or other exceptional circumstances beyond the students control e.g. bereavement. Weddings, pregnancy, festive occasions are not acceptable.

Students must specify in writing the duration and reason for the deferral and visa cancellation may be initiated by DIMIA if the deferral is for more than one semester. SITCM will enter a Student Course Variation to DIMIA via the PRISMS System.
