Other conditions
Tuition fees for each program are provided in the course offerings section.
Fees do not include the cost of individual textbooks, stationery, uniforms, materials, tools or other individual items of equipment necessary for the program of study. Course fees reflect the content of the course and the award/qualification, not the duration. As the structure and duration of Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE courses are subject to change, there is no automatic reduction of tuition fees if you complete the course in a shorter time than the expected duration.
Payment of Fees
You may pay fees by electronic transfer or credit card payment made payable to Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE. Students will not be allowed to commence studies until all applicable fees are paid. This includes any OSHC (overseas student health cover), accommodation booking fees, airport reception fees, late fees and administration charges from the offer as well as any previous offers you have had with other TAFE Queensland Institutes.
Attendance
You must maintain full time status and a minimum of 80 per cent attendance as a requirement of your student visa. If you fail to meet this requirement, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) will be notified and your student visa may be cancelled.
Refund Policy
If your initial application for a visa is rejected, we will refund your tuition fees, less an administration fee of $500 after Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE has received your letter of visa rejection.
If your application for a visa extension is refused, any advance tuition fees will be refunded less the administration fee of $500.
If you are granted permanent residency status after your program of study has commenced, no refund of fees will be payable for the current semester, but all subsequent fees will be the same as those for Australian citizens.
If TAFE Queensland or the Department of Immigration and Citizenship excludes you from continuing your studies, there will be no refund of fees for the current semester, but any advance fees will be refunded in full.
All requests for refunds or credit transfers must be made in writing to Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE. Approved refunds may be transferred to another institution or sent back to your home country in to the account of origin as requested.
