Course Enrolment Fees
The Course Enrolment Fee for 2008 is AUD$100 and must accompany the Application for Course Enrolment form when it is sent to NICE.
Unit Registration Fees
The NICE Council has determined that the unit fee for 2008 will be AUD$1555. A discount to AUD$1450 is available to students from Christian Education National schools and other schools supporting NICE. This fee includes the CCHE Levy . Personal expenditure incurred in self-education in some cases may be claimed as a taxation deduction. Please see your tax advisor.
A discount of 10% is available to students who register and pay for two units at the same time.
In cases of hardship or disadvantage, alternative arrangements may be negotiated for the payment of fees. Enquiries should be addressed to the NICE principal.
Results will not be made available until all unit obligations including web forum participation requirements, completed unit evaluation form, and fee payments, are met.
Withdrawals up to two weeks into a unit of study will entitle students to a full refund minus a non-refundable unit deposit of AUD$200, subject to the return of any hard copy course materials supplied by NICE in "as new" condition. No refunds are available after a unit has been running for two weeks.
Unit fees should be paid on a trimester basis and are due at the beginning of the trimester. The three exceptions to this are:
- Credit given for units through recognition of prior learning (RPL) incur a processing fee which is payable on application.
- Professional development units (PDU) require a payment of 50% of the unit registration fee which is payable in full on the submission of the information for the first professional development activity.
- The Portfolio unit requires payment of the full registration fee. However, because of the longitudinal nature of this unit, students must register for it along with or immediately after their first unit of study. A deposit of 50% of the unit fee is payable at the time of registration. The remainder is payable by completion of the unit.
