I declare that all information provided in this application form is correct and that I have read and understood, and agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of enrolment as set out in this document and on the EC website at www.ecenglish.com I understand that acceptance into any course at EC is subject to meeting the course’s entry requirements and submitting the required payment of fees a minimum of 14 days prior to the commencement date of the course.

10

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 2020 (AUS & NZ) 1. Payment of Fees

A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) will only be issued to support a student visa application process when the initial payment of tuition and non-tuition fees as set out in the invoice is made. If a visa application is rejected, the rejection letter and request for refund should be sent to EC at least 7 days prior to the agreed course commencement date so EC can refund any prepaid course fees minus up to the lesser amount of AU$500 or 5% of prepaid tuition fees to cover any non-refundable fees.

In Australia, for courses of study of more than 25 weeks, a schedule of dates for payment of fees will be set out on the invoice in accordance with the TPS requirements set out in the ESOS Act. The initial payment of tuition and non-tuition fees as set out in the invoice must be made prior to EC issuing a CoE to support a visa application.

If the student chooses to pay in their local currency, a foreign exchange rate will apply. The applicable exchange rate can be viewed online as at the time and date of the payment. Bank charges and commission for both the sending and receiving banks should be paid by the sender of funds or they will be applied to the account of the EC Representative or if no representative, then to the account of the individual from whom EC has received the original direct payment.

2. Services

EC reserves the right to change details of its services, including courses, facilities, schools, accommodation, and course dates, where circumstances beyond EC’s control necessitate such changes or where the number of enrolments is not enough to operate a course viably.

3. Course Entry Levels

Most courses require minimum levels of English for entry. If after the placement test, a student is found to be below the minimum level required to start the course, EC reserves the right to place the student in a class appropriate to the student’s language level and/or a different curriculum. Where this results in extending the duration of a student’s course, EC may need to issue a new Certificate of Enrolment. Students may be transferred to the nearest EC Centre running a lower level course. Minimum age for individual students travelling without adult supervision is 16 years at course start date.

4. Changes to Enrolments

EC reserves the right to charge an Administration Fee (AUD120; NZD90) each time course or accommodation details are changed or cancelled after a place has been confirmed. Additionally, when a change request for a previously confirmed accommodation is received less than 7 days in advance of the scheduled arrival date, an equivalent week’s accommodation penalty fee will be charged. These fees will not apply to upgraded or extended courses.

5. Changes to Airport Transfers

Notification of change to airport transfers must be sent to EC Central at least 2 full working days prior to the designated

arrival time. If notice is not received EC cannot be held liable for operational errors, and an additional Transfer and/or Administration Fee may be applied.

6. Accommodation and Travel Details

Accommodation and transfer confirmations* will be provided 14 days prior to course start date for all enrolments received more than 4 weeks in advance of course start date. Accommodation and transfer confirmations* will be provided no less than 4 days prior to course start date for all enrolments received less than 4 weeks in advance of course start date. If travel information is received less than 2 working days prior to the scheduled arrival date, then EC may not be in a position to provide the transfer or accommodation service for the weekend of arrival. * Provided travel details and payment in accordance with your payment arrangement has been received.

7. Accident and Medical Insurance

EC advises that all students should ensure they have appropriate insurance to cover them in the case of accident or medical need.

New Zealand legislation, as required under the Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016,, found on their website www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2016/0057/latest/DLM6748147. html makes medical and travel insurance compulsory for all international students. Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If a student receives medical treatment during a visit, they will be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at www.moh.govt.nz.

In Australia, it is compulsory for those on Student Visas to take Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of the time they are in Australia. Students need to buy OSHC before coming to Australia, to cover them from when they arrive. This ensures they have adequate health care arrangements while studying in Australia. If the student chooses EC to arrange OSHC for the first course/year only of their programme, it is their responsibility to either extend or take out OSHC for the rest of their time in Australia. They must provide evidence of cover for the entire study period before a Confirmation of Enrolment will be issued. There will be no refund of OSHC Insurance post-arrival.

8. General Refund Policy

EC defines a full course of study as the initial enrolment period. Extensions are considered new enrolment periods. All refunds will be sent to the account of the EC representative/agent from whom the fees were originally paid or, if there is no representative/Agent on the account, to the individual from whom EC has received the original direct payment. In ANZ if a student’s visa application is rejected after payment has been received, all fees, excluding any cancellation fees detailed in the Cancellation Policy below, will be refunded within 28 days in Australia or 5 working days in New Zealand, provided

a visa refusal letter is received by our International Admissions Centre and the student has fulfilled all requirements for a visa application.

In New Zealand the refund will be paid directly to the student or another signatory as agreed by the student (or the student’s parent or legal guardian).

In Australia Refunds will be provided to students within 28 days if the student defaults based on a visa denial provided the EC Central receives the visa denial letter. However, a refund will not be provided in any circumstances where the student has supplied fraudulent, forged or deliberately misleading documentation. In the case of any provider default, the student is eligible to receive a refund of the unexpended pre-paid tuition fees which the student has paid to EC. The refund amount will be based on the portion of tuition for which the student has paid but for which tuition has not yet been received.

In the unlikely event that EC is unable to deliver a course in full, the student will be offered the refund amount in accordance with the above paragraph. The refund will be paid within 14 days of the day on which the course ceased being provided. Alternatively, the student may be offered enrolment in a suitable alternative course by EC at no extra cost. The student has the right to choose whether they would prefer a full refund of course fees, or to accept a place on another course. If they choose placement on another course, EC will ask them to sign a document to indicate acceptance of the placement. If EC is unable to provide a refund or to place the student on an alternative course, the Australian government’s Tuition Protection Service (TPS) director will provide access to a suitable alternative course.

9. Cancellation Policy

EC defines “cancellation” as a change occurring before the start date of the first course. All cancellations must be made in writing to EC Central and the following refund policies apply: Enrolment Fee, Courier Fee, Accommodation Placement Fee, or Administration Fee are non-refundable.

In Australia, EC further reserves the right to withdraw or cancel an offer at any time in circumstances where evidence of nongenuine temporary entrant status is identified. In such instances, the following refund policies apply: 100% tuition Fee, Enrolment Fee, Courier Fee, Accommodation Placement Fee, or Administration Fee. However, a refund will not be provided in any circumstances where the student has supplied fraudulent, forged or deliberately misleading documentation.

10. Tuition Refunds before Arrival

For Student Visa Refusals

In Australia for pre-arrival Student visa refusal, the following applies: EC agrees to refund within 28 days, tuition and non-tuition fees paid where the student produces acceptable certified evidence that the application made for a student visa was rejected by a visa-issuing authority. The amount of the refund is the fees paid by or on behalf of the student, minus the lesser of the following amounts that will be retained:

1) 5% of the amount of fees received (pre-paid tuition fees, non-tuition fees)

2) $500.

In New Zealand, students will be refunded tuition fees in full, less the Enrolment Fee.

For Non-Student Visa Refusals

In Australia, students will be charged the enrolment fee plus 30% of total tuition fees, as well as all other sundry fees if cancelling prior to the start of their course.

In New Zealand, the tuition refunds for cancellations before the start date of the first course are similar to cases of tuition refunds after arrival.

11. Accommodation Refunds before Arrival

a) Students cancelling or deferring their accommodation less than 14 days before arrival will be charged an amount equal to 1 week of accommodation.

b) Students cancelling, deferring, or changing their accommodation less than 2 working days before arrival, an amount equivalent to 4 weeks of accommodation will be charged, or the full accommodation fee if the booking is less than 4 weeks in duration.

12. Withdrawal Policy

EC defines withdrawal as termination of a course after the first course has started. Any withdrawal must be made in writing to the Centre Director of the EC school where the student is studying. Enrolment Fee, Courier Fee, Accommodation Placement Fee, Administration Fees, and any student insurance premium will not be refunded for any student terminating their course after arrival.

13. Tuition Refunds after Arrival

Written notification of withdrawal must be provided as a condition for making refunds. If a student breaches the visa conditions, no refund of the tuition fees will be made.

All refunds due will be made 28 days in Australia and 5 working days in New Zealand, following the date of cancellation and paid to the account from which original payment was made.

In Australia no tuition fees will be refunded to students who notify the EC Centre of their withdrawal after the commencement of their first course. When a student has enrolled in multiple locations/courses, the course start date for the purpose of this clause is that of the initial EC course.

In New Zealand

a) For courses of 1 to 34 days duration, if the student withdraws within the first 2 days of the course, they will receive 50% of the total fees paid. If they withdraw after the first 2 days, no refund is made.

b) For courses of 35 days to 3 months duration, if the student withdraws within the first 5 days of the course, they will receive 75% of the total fees paid. If they withdraw after the first 5 days, no refund is made.

c) For courses greater than 3 months, if written notice of termination is received by the end of the tenth day of the course, the student will receive 75% of the total fees paid. Students terminating after this period will not receive a refund.

14. Accommodation Refunds after Arrival

Students leaving their accommodation must give at least 28 nights of notice

11

in writing. After deducting the price of accommodation used, including the required notice period charged at the standard accommodation rate, accommodation fees in excess of the accommodation period will then be refunded, less the administration fee.

Local policies may apply depending on provider and are available upon request.

15. Visas

Students should contact their local embassy, Consulate or High Commission to ensure they are allowed to enter and study in their chosen country. If a student does not possess or maintain a valid visa status in accordance with the visa conditions then their course will be terminated without refund.

No visa support documentation will be provided until all fees have been received.

16. Holidays EC schools will be closed on public holidays and no compensation is provided for missed days due to public holidays.

Session Breaks

Session breaks are dependent upon destination, course duration, and visa requirements and are subject to EC’s session break policy, available from http://partners.ecenglish.com/resources/session-break-policy

17. Resolution of Disputes

In the event of a dispute between an individual student and EC, procedures are in place to facilitate the resolution of the dispute.

Any complaint should first be made to the student’s EC Centre Director. Each complaint will be fully investigated provided that it is received within a month of the course ending and all fees have been paid.

If the matter is not resolved, the student should communicate in writing to EC Central.
