I authorise Curtin to make relevant enquiries to verify my application, if I am approved for the Program, to provide the necessary information to the Host for the purpose of arranging my participation in the Program.

  1. Fees (if applicable)
  1. I must pay all fees for the Program, either:
  1. to the Host in full by the deadline advised by the Host; or

  2. I change any unit that is in my Study Plan Proposal Form.

  1. I must promptly give Curtin Go Global my official transcript from the Host when I have successfully completed the unit or Program to enable the Credit to be processed.
  1. I acknowledge that if I fail to complete the unit or Program in full as approved on my Study Plan Proposal Form, I may not qualify for Credit and it may impact my Curtin degree.
