Deferment
Students wishing to defer their course commencement need to notify Kent in writing. Kent will hold all prepaid tuition fees in trust without penalty until the student enrols in the course.
International students who have been issued with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from Kent and hold a valid student visa may defer the commencement of their proposed course of study once only and due to compassionate and compelling circumstances. These include the failure to meet an entry requirement through unsuccessful progression in, or completion of, a packaged pathway of course(s) or illness supported by acceptable documentation evidencing an inability to study. Furthermore, the deferment can be granted only for up to a maximum of one Trimester (Higher Education) or six months (VET).

International students who have been issued with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from Kent and do not hold a valid student visa will have each deferment case assessed to ensure their circumstances are still considered to meet the GTE and GS criterion at that time. In this case, deferment may be granted up to a maximum of one year.
