Deferral is a temporary postponement of course enrolment, considered on an individual basis for reasons such as serious illness, injury, or bereavement of close family members. Supporting documents, such as medical certificates, may be required. Students who experience exceptional circumstances but do not wish to withdraw from their course may apply to defer their studies to a later date.
Deferral Process
Application: Deferral requests must be submitted in writing via email to info@medtrain.com.au, including documentation supporting the claim of compassionate or compelling circumstances
Consideration: The RTO Manager will assess deferral requests based on:
- The evidence provided by the student.
- The impact of the circumstances on the student’s ability to continue their studies.
- The requested deferral duration.
Approval:
- The RTO Manager is responsible for approving deferrals.
- Deferral periods will be negotiated individually with each student.
- Students will be notified of the outcome via email. If dissatisfied, students can access the MAT complaints and appeals process.
Deferral Fees:
- You are entitled to one free deferral. Any subsequent deferrals may incur a fee.View the additional charges schedule here.
- If the course undergoes significant changes (becomes superseded) during your deferral, and the new qualification requires additional units (subjects) not included in your original course, you will be responsible for paying the fees associated with these new units as well the course transfer fee.
- Deferring your enrolment does not qualify you for a refund of the original course fees.
Documentation:
- MAT will keep all documentation and communication regarding your deferral request on file in the Student Management System.
- We recommend that students retain supporting documents for their records.
MAT understands that a student’s circumstances may change, making it difficult to continue with their course. Students are encouraged to discuss their situation with their Trainer and Assessor or Student Support Coordinator, who will help them determine the best course of action.
Students may withdraw from their course at any time. To do so, they must complete a Withdrawal Form and return it to info@medtrain.com.au.
