1. All students must comply with the Policies & Procedures as indicated in the ACVN Student Handbook and website.


2. Your course enrolment period is set when you initially enrol. If you require longer to complete the course, you will be required to pay an enrolment extension fee prior to expiring to extend your course and keep your access available. Failure to extend prior to expiry will lead to your enrolment being finalised.


3. Refunds are not available to any student who has commenced the course, including having online access details provided. The initial deposit is only refundable if you withdraw from the course prior to your online access being granted.


4. Certificates or Transcripts will only be issued if your course fees have been paid in full.


5. Failure to submit work for eight (8) weeks without communication with us, may lead to your withdrawal from the course by VNS. No refund will be due, your course fees will still be payable, and you will be required to reenrol to complete the course.

1. Instalment payments are only available to Australian residents and only via direct debit arrangements.


2. By submitting this form with instalment payments selected, you commit to the nominated instalments and are liable for the full cost of the course, even if you/the student decides to not complete the course.


3. If you fall in arrears with your instalments for 14 days or over, access to the course areas online will be restricted, and assessments will not be graded unless an alternative payment date or arrangement is authorised.


4. If you miss a payment and the associated re-debit 3 days later, you must pay your instalment direct to us. A $30 administration and debit dishonour fee will be added to your invoice. We will email you an updated invoice. This invoice is immediately payable. Please note: your bank may also charge you dishonour fees. All future debits will remain in place as normal.


5. If your account remains in arrears for 30 days or more, without an alternative payment date or arrangement authorised, you will be withdrawn from the course. Your remaining course fees will become immediately fully payable and invoiced to you. We reserve the right to take legal action to recover the monies without further notice to you and/or report your debt to a credit reporting agency and ask them to record the default on your credit report. In the event where your overdue account is referred to a collection agency and/or law firm, you will be liable for all costs which would be incurred as if the debt is collected in full, including commission on collection of the additional costs and also including legal demand costs.


6. If for any reason a new direct debit agreement needs to be set up, a $90 fee will apply to cover administration costs. This fee must be paid prior to the new agreement being put in place.


7. If you repeatedly default on your instalment plan schedule, more than three times where both the initial and re-debit have failed, which may not be consecutive, we may cancel your ability to have future payment plans and the balance of your course fees will be invoiced to you and become immediately payable.
