Info

General Information formal and informal learning obtained through training and education, by an KPL assessment process. The recognition may result in the granting of a pass. At enrolment time students should consult with departmental staff regarding the relevance of their experience, education, and training. Students must notify their intention to apply for RPL on the enrolment forms. Articulation There are formal articulation arrangements in place. Students who plan to undertake subsequent studies in TAFE or the Higher Education sector are advised to contact the head of department or school in which they are enrolled, in order to discuss the course articulation and credit transfer opportunities which may be available to them. For all associate diplomas offered by the TAFE Division, arrangements have been negotiated for entry with credits into related degree programs. Details of credit transfer arrangements will be available to students, through the respective departments, at enrolment time. Updated information will also be provided to students during their courses. For further information on any of the above issues contact the appropriate head of department listed in the staff lists at the beginning of each school's chapter. CHANGES IN COURSE STRUCTURES Due to a regular review of all TAFE courses it is extremely important that students obtain up-to-date information on course structures before they enrol. If a course is altered, students may continue on their original course or elect to adopt the new course structure. The only acceptable course structures are the ones current in the year the student first enrolled or any subsequent structure. Any student who elects to adopt a new course structure should obtain advice as to what credit will be given for completed units. This handbook only lists the current course structures (and subjects). Students needing information on previous course structures should consult earlier handbooks which are available in the Library. Student Administration has the responsibility for all aspects of administration concerning a student's enrolment at Prahran Campus. It is a service function to students and teaching staff within the College, providing information, advice and the administrative processes necessary for the conduct of academic programs. Student Administration coordinates student enrolments. The information obtained at enrolment time is very important as it enables Student Administration to provide teaching staff with computerised lists of students undertaking given subjects; it records the subjects the student is officially enrolled for; it enables the College to communicate with the student throughout the year; and most important of all, the information gained from the student at enrolment time determines the subjects in which the student is eligible to be assessed. It is therefore of the utmost importance that all changes to a student's circumstances be communicated to Student Administration. 1. ID (identity) cards: these must be carried at all times and are essential at reenrolment and examination periods. A fee of $2.00 is charged for a replacement card. Students are not considered to be officially enrolled until all fees (where fees are assessed) are paid and an ID card is issued or updated. 2. Academic Transcripts are available on completion of the appropriate application form and payment of a $7.50 fee. 3: Statements of Student Status are available on request. 4. Statements of examination results are mailed to students annually and noticeboard listings of results are displayed each semester on departmental, noticeboards. 5. Travel concession forms are authorised. 6. Application to graduate are verified and processed. The Student Administration Inquiries Counter is open from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday. Enrolment Fees: Students shall not be deemed to be enrolled unless the enrolment fee (as determined by STB), Student Association and all other fees as determined by the College Council have been paid. A student shall be deemed to be enrolled at the College upon completion of enrolment requirements in a course approved by the Head of the Department. An Overseas Student shall not be deemed to be enrolled unless the total fee for the

An Overseas Student shall be deemed to be enrolled upon completion of enrolment requirements in an accredited course, subject to approval by the relevant Assistant Director. Advanced standing: a student who has previously completed appropriate units of a course at this or another educational institution may be considered, subject to approval of the appropriate authority, for admission to a College course with advanced standing provided written evidence is given of hisher previous qualifications and experience to the Manager, Student Administration. Student Identity Card: all new students shall upon enrolment be issued with an Identity Card which should be carried during attendance at the College and should be presented upon request to an authorised office of the College when borrowing material from the Library or attending examinations. It should also be presented for validation each year when re-enrolling. Loss of an Identity Card should be reported immediately to the Manager, Student Administration, and upon payment of the prescribed fee, a replacement will be issued. Late Fees: where fees are assessed a late fee is payable by any student enrolling after the final enrolment date or failing to confirm enrolment by the specified date, calculated at the rate of $10.00 for every week enrolment or confirmation is overdue, up to a maximum of three weeks when the matter shall be referred to the relevant Centre Board for consideration. Assisted Students: students who are holders of scholarships or who are sponsored and have not received an enrolment voucher or appropriate letter of authority from their sponsor at the time of enrolment must complete enrolment and pay their own fees, where fees are assessed. A refund of fees will be made after the enrolment voucher or letter of authority has been lodged at the Student Administration Office. Extension of time for payment: any student who is unable to pay fees where assessed by the due date may apply in writing to the Manager, Student Administration for an extension of time. Such an application must clearly state the reason why payment cannot be made and the duration of extension sought. The application must be lodged before the date on which a late fee becomes payable. A student who has been granted an extension will be deemed to be enrolled provisionally pending payment of hisher fees. Failure to meet liabilities: any student who is indebted to the College by reason of nonpayment of fees, fine, levy, student loan, penalty or other imposition under Part B of these Regulations, and who has failed to discharge or make satisfactory arrangements to discharge this indebtedness within a specified time, or has been expelled, shall not be permitted to re-enrol, receive the results of any examinations or assessments, graduate, receive any award or confirmation of completion of course, or use any facility provided by the College. An Overseas Student who has been expelled due to misconduct, or a failure to meet the course requirements of attendance and completion of prescribed assignments, shall not be permitted to re-enrol,. receive any assessment or confirmation of completion of course, or use any fiacility provided by the College. Refund of fees: where a student discontinues a course and advises the Manager, Student Administration prior to the last Friday in April in the first semester and prior to the last 1;riday in August in the second semester, a refund of some fees shall be made. No refund shall be made where a student fails to advise the Manager, Student Administration that the course has been discontinued after these dates, or where the funds to pay the fees were obtained through a Prahran Campus Student Loan which is still outstanding. Outstanding liabilities to the College by reason of nonpayment of any fees, fine, charge or student loan will be offset against any refund due, and the remaining balance paid to the student. Where an Overseas Student withdraws from a course due to personal reasons, he/she is entitled to a full refund of fees if notification of the withdrawal is given prior to beginning the course. Where a student withdraws from a course after the course has begun, individual cases will be considered on their merits. A service fee will be retained by the College for administrative costs.
