I affirm the information I have provided in my application and in this declaration is true and correct and that any false information provided may lead to the cancellation of my enrolment at any time. The English Language School in Sydney will notify government agencies of any change to my enrolment which may result in the cancellation of my student visa.

I understand and agree that information provided in this Student Agreement and collected during my enrolment is collected in order to meet the English Language School in Sydney’s obligations under the ESOS Act and the National Code 2007 to ensure student compliance with conditions of their visas and their obligations under Australian immigration laws generally. The authority to collect this information is contained in the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000, the Education Services for Overseas Students Regulations 2001 and the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2007. Information collected about me on this form and during my enrolment can be provided, in certain circumstances, to the Australian Government and designated authorities and, if relevant, to the Tuition Protection Service. In other instances, information collected on this form or during my enrolment can be disclosed without my consent where authorised or required by law.

I understand and agree that before I can enrol in the English Language School in Sydney (ELSIS), I must satisfy the conditions as outlined in my Letter of Offer. I understand and agree that I have the obligation to satisfy all of these conditions and if they are not fully satisfied on or before the date of the commencement of my English Language Course, I cannot commence the Course and the English Language School in Sydney may, at its option, terminate my enrolment.

I agree to the English Language School in Sydney releasing personal information relevant to my application, visa documentation and initial Course enrolment to the English Language School in Sydney’s overseas representatives whom I have authorised to act on my behalf and to the English Language School in Sydney’s preferred OSHC provider.

I have read and understood the description of the courses, facilities, classroom equipment and learning resources as described in the student handbook and have exercised my independent judgment in enroling in ELSIS. The English Language School in Sydney does not guarantee that enrolment in or completion of any ELSIS English Course will enable me to obtain any particular employment or to remain in Australia upon completion of the Course.

I understand that I must have sufficient funds to finance both my tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of my course. I understand that the tuition fees do not cover the costs of books, materials, field trips or living expenses unless otherwise specified.

I acknowledge that I have received information on the local environment in which I will be studying, including the location of the teaching site, accommodation and living costs.

I understand that I am responsible for all educational and other living cost expenses of any person who accompanies me to Australia. I understand that all school-aged dependents accompanying me to Australia must attend school and are required to pay full fees if they are enroled in a government or non-government school.

I understand that the current approximate cost of living in Australia is between $18,000 and $21,000 Australian dollars (AUD) per year (for an update check www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/english/live-in-australia/living-costs).

Change of Provider and Cancellation of Enrolment

I understand and accept that:

Unless I have an ELSIS Release Letter, I am not allowed to transfer from ELSIS to another registered provider before I have completed six months of my Principal Course of study.
If I have enrolled in only one course, that course is my Principal Course of study.
If I have enrolled in and have CoEs for a packaged sequence of courses provided by ELSIS and any of its registered provider partners, my Principal Course of study is the course with the highest Australian Qualifications Framework Level, even if that course is not provided by ELSIS. This is usually a Bachelors or Masters Degree.
Once I have completed six months of study in my Principal Course I will be able to transfer to another registered provider without an ELSIS Release Letter.
If I apply for release to transfer from an ELSIS non-principal course to another registered provider before I have completed six months of study in my Principal Course, approval will not be granted and a Release Letter will not be issued if:
- I have not been granted approval to transfer from my Principal Course; and/or
- The course to which I am seeking to transfer will provide a lower level Australian Qualifications Framework qualification than my Principal Course; and/or
- My Principal Course provider is registered for Streamlined Visa Processing, and the registered provider to which I am seeking to transfer is not registered for Streamlined Visa Processing; and/or
- The course to which I am seeking to transfer is provided by ELSIS or one of its associated partners; and/or
- I have not exhausted opportunities for access to ELSIS’s student support services designed to help with personal and academic problems; and/or
- It is determined that such a transfer is not in my best interests.
Approval for transfer to another registered provider will not be granted in the following circumstances:
- claims of financial hardship
- difficulty in finding suitable employment; and/or
- claims of accommodation and/or transport difficulties

I understand and accept that my eCoE will be cancelled and I will not be eligible to receive a Release Letter if I:

Provide fraudulent, forged or deliberately misleading documentation in any circumstances relating to my status as an international student.
Fail to enrol by the required date without approved deferment, suspension or cancellation of my studies.
Discontinue my studies without approved deferment, suspension or cancellation of my studies
Fail to maintain satisfactory attendance.
Fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Fail to maintain my scheduled fee payments; and/or
Am guilty of serious misbehaviour and breach of the Student Code of Conduct.
Complaints and Appeals

I understand and accept that notification of cancellation of an eCoE does not constitute a Release Letter.

Attendance and Academic Performance (for Student Visa holders)

I understand and accept that

The continuation of my study is dependent on my compliance with my student visa conditions which include satisfactory academic progress and attendance and payment of required tuition fees before the commencement of each course.
As an international student on a student visa, I must maintain a minimum of 80 percent (80%) average course attendance and satisfactory academic performance throughout my course.
If I fail to meet these requirements I will be issued with a warning letter followed by an Intention to Report notice and may be subsequently reported to the Department of Home Affarirs (DHA) via PRISMS.

Attend the ELSIS Enrolment and Orientation program on the Course commencement date indicated in the Offer Letter, and to
Attend all Course related classes, information sessions, supervised study sessions and assessment sessions and undertake all assessments.

Change of Student Details

I understand and accept that while I am enrolled at ELSIS it is my responsibility to notify the English Language School in Sydney at least 7 days before I change my address. This is to ensure that any notification sent to me advising of visa breaches is sent to my current address.

Non-Commencement

I understand and accept that:

I have to arrive at the English Language School in Sydney no later than the date listed in my Letter of Offer. If I am unable to arrive by that date I must contact the English Language School in Sydney for approval to arrive late and/or deferment of my enrolment, otherwise, I may not be able to enrol on arrival at the English Language School in Sydney.
If I fail to enrol within five working days of my course commencement date and have not applied for and been granted a Deferral of Enrolment, ELSIS will send me an Intention to Report Letter.
If I fail to enrol within ten (10) working days of my course commencement date and have not applied for and been granted a Deferral of Enrolment, ELSIS will cancel my eCoE.
If I cannot start my course on the commencement date due to visa delay or other unavoidable circumstances, I will be permitted to start my course only when the timetable and class capacities permit, and I may be charged an administration fee for a new eCoE for the new commencement date.
