Refunds for Short Courses and Institute Accredited Courses (IACs)

Students withdrawing from a Short Course or Institute Accredited Course (IAC)

A refund or transfer is only possible if you apply at least five (5) business days prior to the course commencing by notifying Short Courses in writing or via phone call.

A standard handling fee of 10% of the advertised course fee will be deducted from each refund except in the instance where the course is cancelled by the Institute.

The following applies to all Short Course and IAC refunds:

• If a student withdraws at any time up to 5 business days prior to the commencement date of a course, the Institute will refund enrolment fees paid less 10% to a maximum of $50.00.
• If a student withdraws less than five (5) business days before the commencement date of a course, the Institute will not refund any fees.
• For students enrolled in the Licensed Electrical Assessment Course there will be no refund of fees for requests received less than five (5) business days prior to the course commencement date.
• If a course is cancelled by the Institute at any time during the period of a student’s enrolment, the student will be entitled to a full refund of fees paid, or a transfer to another course.

Following approval, students who withdraw from a Short Course or IAC at least five (5) business days prior to the course commencement date, or whose course is cancelled by Melbourne Polytechnic, will be provided with a link to the Refund Application Form.

In cases where special circumstances result in a student withdrawing within five (5) days or less of the course commencement date, the student must contact the Manager of Short Courses in writing at shortcourses@melbournepolytechnic.edu.au to discuss refund or course transfer options.
