Academic Insights Terms & Conditions

This page gives an overview of The National Institute of Education’s terms & conditions in relation to the participation enrollment in the Academic Insights Program program conducted by Immerse Education.

E N R O L L M E N T

After enrolling in the course and paying the deposit or total fees, the student is sent an enrollment confirmation. With the receipt of the enrollment confirmation by the student, the contract takes effect. An invoice is forwarded with the enrollment confirmation, informing the student of the payable course fees. Once your enrollment is finalised all of your enrollment details will be shared with Immerse Education and Immerse Education shall get in touch with you direct with follow-up information in relation to your program.

B O O K I N G  D E P O S I T

The student must pay a booking deposit fee of AU$ 1,690 in order to confirm their attendance on the course. The booking deposit fee is non-refundable. This agreement is conditional on the payment of the non-refundable booking deposit by the student and the agreement is deemed to have come into effect upon the receipt of the booking deposit.

B A L A N C E   P A Y M E N T

Once NIE Careers receives your booking deposit, you will be issued an invoice indicating the balance payment period (due date) of "30-days after end of month".  Any enrollemnts received by NIE Careers closer to the progam start date, must have the balance of payment  finalised at least 30 days before the start of the program. For all enrollment applications received within 30 days from the start of the program, the full payment must be paid. All bank charges related to the payment of the course fee shall be borne by the student.

In cases where the enrollment application is for a course with a start date beyond six months away, an extended payment period can be negotiated with NIE Careers. Requests for the extension must be emailed to NIE Careers at  no later than 14 days before the original invoice due date.

If the NIE Careers does not receive full payment of the course fees by the due date, the student will no longer be entitled to the course booked. In this case, NIE is entitled to make the program available to other interested parties. In case of non-attendance at the booked course, delayed start, early finish or withdrawal from a course or pre-arranged lesson, or any other absences (e.g. due to illness), there is no claim to reimbursement of the course fees.

P R I V A C Y   P R O T E C T I O N

NIE Careers and Immerse Education collect, process, and use the personal data of the course student both for the purpose of fulfilling the contract signed with the course student and as permitted by law and under the terms of any signed declaration of consent in compliance with privacy protection laws.

P O S T P O N E M E N T

In exceptional cases, students may postpone the course booked (e.g. the start date) subject to the written consent of NIE Careers and subject to the payment of any postponement fee to be communicated to the student by Immerse Education upon request.
