Your enrolment at North Metropolitan TAFE is subject to you agreeing to meet the following obligations:
Student code of conduct
You must comply with the Student Code of Conduct, which defines your required conduct in respect to student academic integrity and personal behaviour. The Code defines what constitutes misconduct and the sanctions that can be imposed. Cheating and antisocial behaviour is treated very seriously and may result in your suspension or exclusion from North Metropolitan TAFE.

Payment of fees
Payment of fees in full at time of enrolment
If you have paid your fees in full at time of enrolment, you have met your financial obligations. You may be eligible for a refund if you withdraw, please refer to the refund conditions.
Payment by instalments
If you have entered into a direct debit - Payment Plan, which is a legally binding agreement, you are required to ensure you have sufficient funds to pay the agreed instalments on the due date. Defaulting on your instalments/payments will result in penalty charges. Arrangements must be made to pay outstanding instalments to avoid access to services being cancelled. North Metropolitan TAFE will seek to recover any outstanding funds through a debt collection agency. Please be aware, subject to the Refund Policy, if you are on a Payment Plan, you may be liable for unpaid fees even if you withdraw.
Students that wish to enrol in a subject that they have already passed are not entitled to state funding for their second attempt. In this instance students will be required to pay the full cost of the unit (commercial rate).
Unique Student Identifier
Under the Student Identifiers Act 2014 all students, will require a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
Students must get their Unique Student Identifier (USI) from the USI registry and then submit it together with their Student Statistical Information Form at enrolment. North Metropolitan TAFE has a legal responsibility to collect and submit a Unique Student Identifier and statistical information for all students as part of its funding obligations.
A student’s enrolment will be cancelled, if they do not submit a USI.
Changes to your enrolment
You must formally request to make any enrolment amendments by attending in person at a Student Services counter.
Enrolment amendments include:
- Name changes (documentary evidence must be provided)
- Withdrawing from one or more units (this can be done via the withdrawal form available on our website)

Enrolling in additional units or transferring to another class or course must be done at the academic area (additional fees may apply).
