Important deadline for Diploma and Advanced Diploma students

If you are paying for your course through the VET FEE-HELP (VFH) system, there is a very important deadline approaching.

If you are seeking Recognition or Credit Transfer it must be approved and processed by 29 May 2015. Otherwise, the deadline for your fees to be recalculated will have passed and it will not be possible to adjust fees. Therefore, if you wish to meet this deadline all evidence must be received by your teachers no later than 27 May 2015, to allow for assessment, approval and processing to take place. All evidence provided by this date must be sufficient for your application to be approved, otherwise the deadline will be missed. This deadline has been set by the State and Commonwealth Governments as a result your teachers (and head teachers) cannot alter it.

You may still apply for Recognition or Credit Transfer after this date (during your enrolment), however it will not be possible for your fees to be adjusted.
