Prior to commencement

If you have, or plan to apply for a Student visa, you have the option to apply for deferral of your start date in exceptional circumstances and before the start date shown on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). In order for your application for deferral to be considered, you must be able to demonstrate compassionate and compelling circumstances. Your application will then be re-assessed for commencement on the deferred start date and, if approved, you will be provided with a new letter of offer and written agreement. The change to your enrolment will be reported to the Department of Home Affairs (DOHA).

If you cancel your enrolment prior to commencement, your CoE will also be cancelled and the change to your enrolment status will be reported to DOHA.

If you would like to defer or vary your study prior to commencement you can make these changes via the online application portal.

After you commenced

There are limited circumstances where a student's enrolment may be deferred or temporarily suspended. These are outlined in the National Code 2018 and include

• compassionate or compelling circumstances, or
• misbehaviour by the student

A deferral or suspension of study may affect the validity of your Student visa.

In the event UniSC intends to suspend or cancel a student's enrolment, where that suspension or cancellation is not initiated by the student, UniSC will notify the student that they have 20 working days to access UniSC's internal appeals process.

If the student accesses the appeals process, the enrolment will not be suspended or cancelled until the internal appeals process is completed.

Instances where UniSC may initiate a cancellation to a student's enrolment may include

• Failure to make payment of fees as requested by UniSC. Refer to the Student Fees, Charges and Refunds - Procedure
• Failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Refer to Monitoring Academic Progress - Procedure
• Student Misconduct - Procedures

The ESOS Act is Commonwealth legislation that all providers who offer programs to international Student visa holders need to adhere to. This protects international students by ensuring they are accessing a consistent and quality educational experience. You can view a description of the ESOS framework here.
