PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT• The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate a Payment Plan between the Australian College of Ministries (ACOM) and ACOM students who require special consideration for upfront student fees or outstanding fees. • Approval of the Payment Plan is at the sole discretion of ACOM and is intended to assist students who are in genuine need of short-term financial support.2. GENERAL TERMS• In addition to the T&C’s of this agreement, students enrolled at ACOM have already agreed to be bound by the ACOM Enrolment Terms and Conditions which also still apply. A copy of these Terms and Conditions can be viewed at www.acom.edu.au • To be eligible for enrolment in additional subjects, the Payment Plan obligations must be finalised and completed by the agreed date. • ACOM will not issue Graduation Certificates until all student fees are fully paid. • The minimum instalment amount and duration of the payment plan needs to be negotiated and approved by ACOM’s Financial Controller. • Payment Plans for Upfront Student Fees need to be paid off within the current study period and any outstanding fees need to be paid off within a maximum timeframe of 12 months. • All instalments must be paid on or before the due date, unless the student has notified ACOM in advance and received an approval for late payment.3. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH PAYMENT PLAN• ACOM reserves the right to cancel any pending enrolments and suspend student access to online resources in the event that a student fails to make payments as and when it falls due. • Repeated payment defaults and non-compliance with the Payment Plan schedule will result in: - all outstanding fees becoming immediately due and payable; - outstanding debts being forwarded to a debt collection agency; and - the student being required to pay additional fees associated with the debt collection process.
