Enrolment Policy

Any enrolment made by you in the manner described on this website is an offer by you to purchase a place in a particular course for the price specified at the time you make your purchase. Sydney Community College reserves the right to accept or reject your purchase for any reason, including the unavailability of any course, an error in the price or product description, or an error in your purchase.

Your contract with Sydney Community College only comes into existence when Sydney Community College advises you that it has accepted your enrolment and receipt of your payment has been confirmed by email or other SCC notification.

Course Partner Enrolment and Withdrawal Conditions Some courses on our website are delivered by external course partners. Where this is the case, specific enrolment and withdrawal conditions provided by the partner may be listed on the individual course page. Please check the course page before enrolling, as these conditions may differ from SCC's standard policy.

Age Limitation

Unless otherwise stated, Sydney Community College provides short courses for adults and under-18s are not typically permitted to enrol. A person under the age of 18 may enrol in a course if the terms are confirmed and negotiated by Customer Service, the tutor, and a parent or guardian. In the case of a class specifically established for children, the enrolled child must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Special Requirements and Requests

If you have any special requirements or requests that may affect your participation in a course, please contact us prior to enrolling so we can discuss your needs. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate special requests wherever possible. However, due to factors such as venue limitations, class capacity, safety considerations, or the specific requirements of a course, we may not always be able to accommodate all requests.

Sydney Community College reserves the right to determine whether a request can be reasonably accommodated and cannot guarantee that all requests will be met.

Fees

Fees for courses are for tuition only and do not, unless expressly stated, include the cost of government charges and taxes including any Goods and Services Tax, consumables and other costs such as text books and manuals, or other incidental costs. The availability of courses and services may change from time to time.

Discounts

In any enrolment period it may be necessary to discount course fees to promote a course and/or encourage enrolment. This may be done through written offers distributed through College marketing activities, or verbally through the College customer service centre. Discounts cannot be applied retrospectively. Discounted courses, classes and workshops are subject to the no refunds clause.

Discount transfer fee From 7th June 2024, any enrolment purchased at a discounted price will be subject to a transfer fee if you wish to transfer to a different class.

Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes, duties or other liabilities imposed by any governmental agency, including without limitation any customs duty, goods and services taxes, or any value added tax imposed on any courses or services acquired or ordered by you from this website.

Advertised Dates and Times

The advertised dates and times of courses may change without warning. If this is the case, all reasonable attempts will be made to contact you via SMS, email, and telephone. However, confirmation of starting time and venue remains the responsibility of the student.

Cancellations

Our courses require a minimum number of students to proceed. The College will send a courtesy email to confirm the course is going ahead, and a courtesy email and SMS if the course is being cancelled, two days before the start date.

Important If you do not receive a courtesy confirmation two days before the start date, it is the student's responsibility to contact the College to confirm the course is going ahead. At all times it is the student's responsibility to check the course starting date, time, and venue.

In the event a course is cancelled by the College due to low enrolments, the course fee will be refunded. Please allow up to 10 working days for the refund to be processed.

Enrolments

Enrolments in our courses are not transferrable to another person. Changes to a student's work commitments or personal circumstances outside of the conditions outlined in our policies will not be considered grounds for a transfer or refund. Please choose your course carefully.
