        producing an order number or a letter confirming payment, are liable for any outstanding fees,

                                                   6
4. Transfers and Course Deferral
4.1 Course transfers
4.1.1   Students may apply to transfer between courses of equal value within a month of enrolment.

4.1.2   However, students can only transfer between courses once. If a student requests a second
        transfer, or wishes to transfer outside of the one month period, it will need to be approved by
        Senior Management and an administration fee of $100 + GST will be charged.

4.2 Course Deferral
4.2.1   Students can defer their course start date for up to 3 months, subject to management approval.
        Payments for the course fees will be suspended until they resume their studies.

        they have completed their first course.

4.3 Course extension
4.3.1   The courses we offer are designed to be completed within a six, twelve or eighteen month time
        frame depending on the course.

4.3.2   The enrolment date is the date the student receives their Welcome email and Learning Platform
        login details. From that date students have 6 months to complete their Certificate or Diploma in
        Xero or MYOB course and 12 months to complete their Diploma and Pathway courses.
        However, the Administration Pathway, Accounting Pathway and Accounts Admin & Payroll
        Pathways are all 18 months.

4.3.3   If students fail to complete their course within the required timeframe their course will be
        suspended in Learning Platform and they will cease to have access to the content. Access will
        resume only after students have paid for a course extension from the student services
        department. As per 2.1.3, we require supporting documentation for all New Zealand residing
        students, and as such an extension will not be applied until satisfactory identification has been
        received.

4.3.4   Students can either:

          •   Continue in their existing course for $100, with a 3 month extension, but must accept that
              the existing course may exclude recent updates.
          •   Transfer onto a newer course (if one is available), but the student will have to start their
              studies from the beginning. The student is able to use the 20% returning student discount
              when re-enrolling.
4.3.5   Students will only be eligible for one course extension (but can re-enrol as many times as they
        require), and this will be valid from the day it’s processed. The team are always on hand to
        discuss your progress, but please apply for your course extension close to your completion date.

4.3.6   The tutor team will mark assessments within 3 – 5 working days and are unable to cater for bulk
        uploads from students in their last fortnight. The team will only be able to mark 4 assessments
        within the last two weeks of a students’ course.
