Fees and Refund – International
The international students at Jabin Hopkins need to pay the international tuition fee applicable for the courses they enroll, which is different than the domestic tuition fee. The details of fees are advised in the enrolment offer letter we sent to the student prior to course commencement and the student needs to pay the fees according to that payment advice.
Course fees
Along with the tuition fee, there may be additional fees for your course such as enrolment fee, resource fee etc. The course fees are subject to change. Contact us to get the up-to-date fee information of the courses of your interest.
Instalment options for fees payment
The international students may choose from our various flexible installment options to pay their tuition fees except first semester fee for offshore international students. The students must pay the fees according to the instalment plan they choose, and not exempt from the fees in case of any hardship they face. In case of any exceptional situation, the student may apply for an extension to their instalment due date which the institute may or may not approve. The request for extension must be made before the due date. Failure to make the payment within due date or extended due date may result in late payment fine.
Retake fees in case a student fails in units/subjects
If any International student fails to gain competence in a unit or subject, and subsequently retakes the unit or course, the student may be charged for that retake.
Course credits and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
International students are eligible for course credits if they have completed any unit of their course elsewhere as part of another Australian qualification. In that situation the proportion of the tuition fee will be deducted based on the number of unis the student is eligible for a course credit. The students also may be eligible for recognition of their prior skill and experience for certain unit(s). Generally, the students are required to pay 50% of the normal course fee for each of the course or units where the competence is gained through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

This policy applies equally to all new and re-enrolling students unless otherwise stated. The following policies apply for international students’ payment and refund
No refund will be made for the enrolment fee whether it is provider or student default and before or after the course commencement as this is the administrative cost associated with enrolment process.
