for your visa, you will rst need to apply and be oered a place by the College and

then make the minimum fee payment. We will then issue you with the Conrmation of

Enrolment letter that you will need to apply for your visa.

Students can work part time whilst at College to supplement their income. Overseas

students can work up to 20 hours per week on their student visa and unlimited hours

in college breaks. We recommend you budget to have 2 – 3 months living expenses to

nances by either working before coming to College and saving, having friends,

family or church members support them or via fundraising.

ginning their course in January will nish in December; students beginning in July will nish in July of the following year.

Eective 1 July 2012, all tuition fees are payable per semester only, due prior to the

commencement of each semester. Full annual payment before the commencement

of study is not required. Late payment (by special agreement only) will incur a 10%

Student Code of Conduct

One of the College’s most important goals is to facilitate the growth and development of Christian character in line with biblical principles. It is expected that College

students live in such a manner that brings glory to Christ in their behaviour and attitudes both in and outside of College settings. Therefore each student is expected to:

Abstain from biblically immoral practices including; drunkenness, stealing, slanderous or profane language, dishonesty, occult practices and sexual sins (premarital sex,

pornography and adultery.) or any other behaviour that is considered detrimental to Christian character and witness.

Avoid attitudes (such as greed, jealousy, pride, bitterness, needless anger and discrimination) and behaviour (such as gossip, divisiveness and complaining) that disrupts

the unity and health of the College body.

Show respect and consideration for other members of the student body and their property.

Show respect for sta and faculty and co-operate with the aims and endeavours of the College and Church.

Attend all prescribed College classes, ministry sessions and activities required by the College program unless formally excused (on compassionate basis).

Refrain from dishonest academic practices as outlined in the Academic Misconduct policy (Section 5: Academic Policies and Procedures).

Abstain from alcohol for the duration of studies at College.(this includes all college breaks including the period between nishing an old and commencing a new award.)

Be neat, clean and modestly dressed.

Follow the guidelines in the Student Handbook. (available on our website: www.hillsongcollege.com)

The College will provide the framework and support needed to bring personal growth. If students nd however, that they are genuinely struggling with such issues, we

advise they speak to College sta and allow them to bring guidance, counsel and correction to the situation. Any behaviour that contravenes the Student Code of Con-

duct will result in disciplinary action (Ref: Student Behaviour and Course Progress Policy). Any behaviour that compromises the welfare of other students will result in

immediate termination of enrolment.
