Student Rights as a Consumer
Learners have the right to factual and accurate information about Blue Lotus College’s courses before making an enrolment decision. It is important to read the prospectus and any course documentation carefully before registering. You must make sure that the course meets your requirements and that you fully understand your obligations as a student.
Blue Lotus College’s Fee Payment and Refund Policy, along with the Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedure does not affect a Learner’s rights to take action under Australia’s consumer protection laws.
If you change your mind: If you enroll in a course and decide that you do not want to continue your studies, or you wish to withdraw from the course, you can do so by notifying us up to 10 days after enrolment (cooling off period). Any changes to your enrolment should be made before the course start date to avoid incurring additional fees. Please refer to Blue Lotus College’s Refund Policy for more details.
