International Students
You are only able to suspend your studies in limited situations. (This information is in accordance to the
National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education to Overseas Students
2007).
Once you have enrolled in a course, the institute can NOT ALLOW you to suspend your studies, except on the grounds of compassionate and compelling circumstances, for example, illness evidenced by a doctor’s certificate or other exceptional circumstances beyond your control like bereavement.
If you suspend your studies, the institute must report the variation of enrolment to DEST (Department of Education Science & Training).
The suspension may affect your student visa and you are advised to contact DIAC (Department of
Immigration And Citizenship).
A suspension can not be granted unless you present the appropriate documentation e.g. airline tickets,
proof of reason for suspension.
To obtain approval, you need to complete a Course Suspension Form and submit to the Vocational
Staff & Student Coordinator/Head of English Language a minimum of 14 days prior to the requested suspension date.
You can suspend your studies for a maximum period of one semester.
Upon suspension of enrolment the course fees, which are scheduled in the student's contract, remain due on the scheduled dates.
Once the suspension is processed, you will receive a written letter granting the suspension.
