Fee Policy

Academy Facilities

Students are not required to purchase their own machinery or computers. The Academy has industry standard facilities for student use. The Academy prefers that students work on industrial machinery and CAD software on campus. Students are encouraged to purchase their own equipment once they know their preferences and understand how the equipment works. It is not an Academy requirement for students to own their own machinery or computers at any stage of their studies. The facility is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.

STICCIT Account for shop / kit purchases

The amount payable the STICCIT account covers the initial equipment and textbooks which are issued as a kit to you at registration for your first year of study. In addition to the course fees, students and bursars should budget for materials bought off-campus. Stocking raw materials and equipment minimises students’ time spent driving to various suppliers to source their own. Transport is arranged for outings which can also be paid for using their STICCIT account or cash.

Enrolment Conditions

If the student discontinues or changes course of study at any time, there will be no cancellation or reduction of fees. The person responsible for payment of student fees will still be liable for the full payment of the year’s fees, unless the student discontinues due to serious injury sustained or serious condition diagnosed after enrolment, which prevents the student from continuing with their year. The person responsible for payment of student fees is encouraged to disclose any pre-existing conditions before enrolment. This information gives personnel the necessary information firstly to advise a different course structure if considered necessary for student success and secondly to be able to treat the student appropriately, especially in case of an emergency.
