Purpose and Context:

We It's not uncommon for life to take a different direction to the one planned, resulting in students needing to stop their studies unexpectedly (without notifying ICA in advance), or needing longer than the allocated access time to complete their studies. As such, there is the option to extend program access on a month-by-month basis. 

Scope: 

This policy applies to ICA students.


Eligibility Criteria


Students wanting to apply for extended program access must apply and must meet the following requirements:


  • Provide records of their program attendance (e.g. Graduation Checklist)
  • Be in good financial standing with ICA (fees paid in full)
  • Demonstrate, or have demonstrated, a commitment to participating and completing their studies (as determined by ICA)


Option 1: Extend Program access where the program expired within the previous 12 months

Students whose program expired within the previous 12 months can re-enter and extend their program access for a monthly fee of $150 AUD. If their program is no longer an active program, they will be transitioned to the program closest in accreditation and certification standing. The monthly fee option is available for a maximum of 12 months.

As soon as the student graduates the monthly payments will cease. Their program completion will be certified and they will be invited to join the ICA Alumni as an ICA graduate.

If the student has not completed within 12 months, their program access and payments will cease. The student has a choice to again apply for an extension as per the above criteria or will exit the program with certification for the hours completed.
