Release and refund
You need to apply for a release and refund separately.
What is a release application?
Standard 7 of the National Code restricts providers from enrolling students transferring from another institution prior to the student completing six months of their principal course of study, except in certain circumstances.
Deakin is not permitted to enrol a student who intends to transfer to Deakin who has not completed six months of their principal course at the institution from which they are transferring, unless that institution has provided them with a release. You are not required to get a release after completing six months of your principal course and can transfer freely.
Please read the release guidelines and refund information before submitting your application.
Want to apply for a release and refund?
If you want to apply for both a release and a refund, we recommend that you lodge your release application first, then wait for a response and only submit your refund application after you have received a release outcome letter.
Please note the refund percentage depends upon the date you lodge your refund application.
