Terms and Conditions
1. 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.
Note that this form requests a payment plan; however, it does not guarantee it will be approved. Student history and outstanding fees will be weighed against further requests.
