You are attempting to move backwards through our enrolment process after you have already enrolled and completed the process.
Completing the flow/process again will result in a duplicate enrolment which we do not advise. Should you think there is an issue with your original enrolment details, please feel free to contact the Open Colleges team on 1300 853 033.
To make study accessible for everyone, Open Colleges offers a wide range of course payment plans. The first option is to pay your course fees in full at the start of your course. If you can’t pay upfront that’s no problem, opt for an interest-free payment plan so you can pay your course fees off in weekly or fortnightly instalments that suit your budget.
At Open Colleges, we refuse to compromise on the quality of our courses and always aim to deliver the very best course content and support for our students. We strive to offer high quality education at a competitive price.
While enrolled with us, you’ll get:
When you pay in full, we don’t have to spend extra money on administration for tasks such as payment plan processing. Instead, we get to pass on this saving to our students in the form of a discount.
Open Colleges doesn’t charge any interest on our payment plans. However, if you opt to switch your payment plan to a zipMoney account, you could be subject to extra charges.
Once your payment is confirmed, there are a just a few more steps you need to complete before you can start studying. In the coming days, you will receive a phone call from one of our Recruitment Support Officers to confirm that we have all the information we need from you. After that, you’ll receive an email with your login details to OpenSpace, your online campus, and will be ready to start studying. At this stage, you’ll also have a chance to book in a suitable time to take an Online Orientation to help you find your way around OpenSpace.
Once your enrolment is complete, there is a 7-day cooling off period in which you can cancel your enrolment completely. If you choose to cancel your enrolment during this time, you will incur a $100 administration fee. If you cancel your enrolment after the cooling off peri pod expires, you will be liable to pay the full course fee amount.
