1. Accept your offer 

• You will receive a Letter of Offer via email and post. 
• Sign and return your Letter of Offer to LCI Melbourne, along with a non-refundable registration fee of AU$200.
• You have four weeks from the date of the letter (specified in your Letter of Offer) to accept your offer. If you do not accept by this date, the offer will lapse and you will need to reapply.

2. Defer or reject your offer

LCI Melbourne's policy is to allow deferment for up to 12 months.

Applicants who receive an offer and wish to defer prior to starting study

• Domestic students who have accepted an offer and paid the administration fee are eligible to defer for up to 12 months. They are guaranteed a place in the following year*     
  

• Applications to defer must be made on the official ‘Deferral or Leave Application Form’, which is emailed or posted to the LCI Melbourne Admissions Office. This application is reviewed by the Admissions Office and must be accepted by LCI Melbourne in order for the student to defer. Applicants will be notified in writing as to whether the application to defer has been accepted or denied.

Students who have already commenced study

• Domestic students who have accepted an offer, paid the administration fee and commenced classes, are eligible to defer for 12 months.
• Applications to defer must be made on the official ‘Deferral or Leave Application Form’, which is emailed or submitted in person to the LCI Melbourne Student Services Office. This application is reviewed by Student Services and must be accepted in order for the student to defer. Students will be notified in writing as to whether the application to defer has been accepted or denied.
• To avoid being financially liable for the Trimester in which they have already commenced study, applications must be received and approved before census date. Applications received after the census date will make the student financially liable for the full trimester. 

International Students

• International students are eligible to defer only in compassionate or compelling circumstances.
• A ‘Deferral or Leave Application Form’ must be submitted with supporting documentation of the circumstances to Student Services. It must be received and approved, by the Enrolment Deadline (i.e. before the Trimester start date). Applicants will be notified in writing as to whether the application to defer has been accepted or denied.

Rejecting your offer

Applicants who wish to reject their offer can email or call LCI Melbourne. Applications that are not accepted within four weeks of the Letter of Offer are automatically withdrawn by LCI Melbourne.
