16. Withdrawal of Offer and/or Cancellation of Enrolment

16.1 The University may withdraw an offer of a place in any course in the event that any error in assessment of the application or making of the offer is identified. In any such case:

  1. the University will endeavour to admit the applicant to any other course (for which the applicant had expressed a preference) to which he/she is eligible for admission and in which a place is available, provided that the applicant is able to commence that course no later than the end of the second week of semester; or
  2. if no such place can be offered, any fees paid by the applicant will be reimbursed.

16.2 The Academic Registrar will cancel enrolment if an applicant is found to have been admitted on the basis of incomplete, inaccurate, fraudulent or misleading information. Fees paid may be forfeited.

16.3 If results or other information are subsequently found to be inaccurate, through no fault of the applicant, the University will act as follows:

  1. Applicant’s entry score or rank is higher than that originally awarded

    The University will endeavour to admit the applicant to the course (for which the applicant had expressed a preference) to which the correct entry score or rank would have earned admission, provided that the error is identified, a place is still available in that course and the applicant is able to commence the course no later than the end of the second week of semester.

  2. Applicant’s entry score or rank is lower than that originally awarded

    The University reserves the right to withdraw an offer at any time within the first two weeks of the semester for which an offer was made and accepted. If an offer is withdrawn, the University will consider the applicant for a place in a course for which he/she is qualified, provided that a place is still available in that course and the applicant is able to commence that course no later than the end of the second week of semester.

16.4 Where any adjusted offer is made, the revised offer will specify a date for submission of an application for deferment in the revised course.
