Payment of refunds

We won’t be able to tell you the exact amount of your refund until after we have received and assessed your application. 

If your application for a refund is successful:

• Any fines, outstanding debt and administrative fees will be deducted prior to a refund being paid.
• A​n authorised refund will be processed, where possible, using the same method as your original payment e.g. if you paid by credit card, the refund will be processed to the same credit card.  Where payment has been made by credit card RMIT reserves the right to request proof of payment.
  
• ​We can transfer your refund into an overseas account​ which can take up to 6 weeks to reach your bank.​ ​An​y refund will normally be made in the currency of the country of permanent residence and payable in that country. Exceptions can include non-trad​e​able currencies (where the refund could then be paid in USD). RMIT University is not liable for any variance from foreign exchange rates fluctuations.
