Registration will be confirmed upon payment. 

What if I sign up for an event, but my name is not on the list of participants?

Your sign up is confirmed only after you have paid for the activity. It is your responsibility to ensure that sufficient funds are available in your student security deposit.

How much money do I need in the security deposit to use it for an activity sign up?

You must have $500.00 in your deposit account at all times. For example, if an activity costs $50.00, you must then have at least $550.00 in your account.

Where is the gym, and how much does it cost?

All enrolled international ICMS students are able to use New Image Gym in Manly free of charge. Enrolled domestic students are charged a nominal fee of $50.00.  The gym is located at 31 to 33 Pittwater Road and you can gain access by presenting your SEC card (student experience card). The CES card is available at the student services counter.

Where is the Student Affairs Office?

How do I apply for my overseas student health insurance?

The College prepays for your health insurance from your deposit account so that you are covered upon arrival in Australia. The health insurance lasts for 12 months and you are responsible for renewing your application upon expiration. If you already have Australian health insurance from another college, you should advise the Admissions Office immediately to ensure that you are not charged. 

How do I reapply for health insurance when it expires?

Take your current passport and health insurance card to the Medibank Private office and pay for the number of months for which you need cover. A list of locations of Medibank Private offices is available from the Student Affairs Department. You will need to get a statement of enrolment from Student Administration if you are renewing your health insurance at any time. Do not let your health insurance expire. Failure to renew your health insurance may result in the cancellation of your student visa.

What should I do if I require the services of a doctor?

You will need to pay the doctor's fee upon consultation. You will be given a receipt that you must take to any Medibank Private office and fill out a claim form. You will then receive a partial cash refund.
