Course Variation Form
This form should only be completed by students of Kingston International College.
1. This form should be used to:
- change of current courses to new courses;
- withdraw/cancel current course or subsequent courses;
- defer current course on grounds of compassionate and compelling circumstances (e.g. bereavement of close family members, serious illness or injury etc.)
- suspend student due to misconduct or misbehavior.
2. You are not able to apply for a course variation unless you have valid reasons with strong supporting evidence to support the request. It is not sufficient to provide only a personal statement outlining your special circumstances.
Examples of supporting documentations may include:
Medical reasons – a statement from a doctor stating
- The date your condition began or changed
- How the condition affected your ability to study and
- When it became apparent that you could not continue with your studies.
Employment-related – a statement from your employer stating:
- Your current work hours and location; and
- The reason for changed hours and location
Visa processing or visa refused – a letter from Dept of Immigration Border and Protection (DIBP) on the visa refusal or documents to support the inability to begin studying on the course commencement date.
3.You are not able to request for change of enrolment after your course has commenced. This is considered a cancellation of a course and re-enrolment, with you subject to cancellation fees as per College refund policy. Special considerations may be granted to resume the course if adequate evidence exists to support compassionate and compelling circumstances.
4.Submitting an application does not automatically mean that it will be granted. Any incomplete/inaccurate information provided in the form will not be processed by the College.
