New Starter Support
NEW STUDENTS COMMENCING IN TRIMESTER 2, 2021 RECEIVE $500 COURSE CREDIT!!*
Despite the situation with COVID-19 slowly improving in Australia, we understand that many students commencing study in 2021 will face hardship. We are committed to ensuring both your wellbeing and success at Kaplan Business School, so we will provide a New Starter Support package for new students commencing in Trimester 2, 2021. This includes:
COURSE CREDIT FOR NEW STUDENTS
We will provide a $500 course credit to be applied to your fees when you accept your T2 2021 Offer of Admission as of Friday, 16 April 2021, commence your course and enrol in a full-time study load in Trimester 2, 2021.
NO INCREASE IN 2021 FEES
As COVID-19 continues to impact us, we’ve made the decision to not increase our fees in 2021. We understand the financial pressures all our students are currently facing are not short-term and we hope this decision allows our students assurance in studying with Kaplan Business School into the new year and until the beginning of 2022.
EXTERNAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND AID
Beyond the financial support measures Kaplan Business School is offering, there are a number of state and federal government authorities, along with a wide range of community-based organisations, offering extensive financial assistance and support. We’ve collated these to make them easy for you to access. We will keep this list updated regularly. Please note, all external websites and services are subject to change. Click on the heading above for more details.
If you or your agent have any further questions related to the detail noted above, please read the Frequently Asked Questions below. Should you have any questions about how these measures could help you start your studies with confidence, please email us on enquiries@kbs.edu.au.

A: Refer to the Study Loads for International Students document on our website for more information about study loads.
Q: Does the New Starter Support apply to the Postgraduate Qualifying Program, including those students who receive RPL and are required to study less than 5 subjects?
A: No, as a student enrolled in the Postgraduate Qualifying Program already has other discounts applicable.
Q: Does a student need to have their offer letter re-issued to show they will enrol into a full -time study load in Trimester 2 if their current offer shows a reduced study load, or can they enrol into further subjects during Orientation to receive the New Starter Support?

However, if they choose to enrol in a full-time study load during Orientation, KHUB will allow them to select additional subjects and they will be required to pay the remaining amount. The New Starter Support will be on their KHUB account and it will be deducted when they finalise the payment only if they accepted their T2 2021 offer as of Friday, 16 April 2021.
