Enrolment Conditions

Student Enrolment

The Riverina Community College Student Handbook is available at www.riverinacc.edu.au and contains information you need to know about studying at the College. Together with the Student Handbook, it is important that you also read and understand the following policies also available on our website:

Copies of the above policies are also available from Reception at any time.

Enrolment

Enrolment is open to all people aged 15 years or over, unless otherwise advised by Riverina Community College. Entry requirements apply to some courses.
Riverina Community College reserves the right to cancel an advertised course or change the advertised course details should the need arise.

Fees

To secure your place, you must enrol and pay the course fee (if applicable) before the course begins, unless you have arranged an approved payment plan (available for select courses only).

If you’re applying for government-funded training or fee concessions, you’ll need to provide supporting evidence during enrolment.

In line with national standards, Riverina Community College does not accept more than $1,500 in advance for accredited courses. If your course fee exceeds $1,500, a payment plan will be set up to cover the remaining balance.

Please note: All course fees must be paid in full before any qualifications or Statements of Attainment can be issued.

Refer to the Student Fees, Charges and Refunds Policy for further information.

Refunds

Please choose your course carefully as refunds will only be considered in line with the College’s Fees, Refund and Transfer Policy. A refund will apply if:

  • the College cancels a course for any reason prior to the course commencing
  • you cancel in writing 5 or more working days before the date the course commences
  • you cancel in writing less than 5 working days before the date a course commences due to extenuating circumstances (such as illness or injury – evidence such as medical certificates may be requested)

In all other circumstances, a partial refund may be considered at the discretion of the College (less a non-refundable Course Administration Fee of $250).

Complaints and Appeals

If you believe the College has not provided the quality of services you expected, including training, assessment, staff or facilities, please contact your Trainer in the first instance. If your issue is not resolved, refer to the College’s Complaints and Appeals Policy for the process to follow.
