some of the overhead expenses of the College. Fees are kept as low
as possible. The College receives a grant from the Board of Adult
and Community Education (BACE) to assist with administration costs
associated with running the program.
the
program
The current program of
evening, daytime and weekend courses is based on community interests
and availability of resources and staff. If you have a course to
offer or suggest, please phone the College or write to the
Principal.

All requests for refunds

you will receive a full refund as soon as possible, either by cheque
or by credit to your credit card account. If you miss out on a place
because a course is full, you will be offered an alternative course,
an advance booking for next term, or your fees returned to you in

tuition fees - please refer to the statement on 'course quality and
suitability'. No refunds will otherwise be given.

transfers
Transfers are not possible
after the second session of any course. Transfers from one term to

the College, and are subject to an administration fee ($11 incl GST).
course quality and
suitability
The College is confident
that you will be pleased with your course and that it will be true
to advertised title and description. Tutors are carefully selected,
trained, skilled and suitably qualified and aware of the needs of
participants. If there is a problem with your course you should
raise it with the Tutor and/or the Co-ordinator in the first
instance. Experience is that most problems can be "fixed" in this
way. If after raising your problem with the Tutor and/or the Co-ordinator
your problem is not solved, or if you do not feel comfortable doing
so, then call the College office and discuss the matter with our
friendly staff who can advise you and take steps to address the
issue. We will refund your tuition fees in full. All we ask is that
you complete a detailed evaluation form to help us improve the
course in future. An evaluation form can be obtained from the
College office. We depend on your enrolment fee to run a course, and
once a course has commenced we are committed to finishing it. Please
refer also to the statement on Refunds.
