Frustrating Experience with Rosebank College Application and Registration

I app**** to Rosebank College online in May to do an Advanced Diploma, but encountered significant issues with linking my application and payment due to an error on the payment website. Despite multiple attempts to contact the college, I received no communication and was unable to resolve the issue through their provided contact points. As a result, I left a review on Hello Peter hoping for a resolution.

After many phone calls and emails, the problem was eventually fixed, and I hoped it was an isolated incident. However, I am now facing similar issues once again. After uploading all my documents and receiving no response from the college, I had to follow up via email to check the status of my application.

Even after accepting the offer letter, I was led to believe that I would be notified about my admission status, but I had to follow up again. Now I’m being informed via email that classes have already started for the semester and that I should have paid a deposit to be registered, yet nowhere on the website or feedback given after accepting the offer letter does it state this. Simply to just wait for a registration link.

I’m really confused and utterly disappointed with how this institution operates. My advice to potential students is to consider other options to avoid unnecessary frustration. It seems clear that the college DOES NOT prioritize student support or communication.

Reviewer Update
1. First I received a phone call this morning, in which I expressed my dissatisfaction for the way things have been handled. I explained to the agent that I had received an email saying I had till the 10th of August to register and she said that this was incorrect and the cutoff is on the 3rd (sounding very confused as to why the agent from the email would have said that) and also suggestion rather trying again in 2025, still not acknowledging that I'm not even sure of the outcome of the application yet... She was supposed to email me after the phone to discuss a way forward after I had thought about what to do going forward. This email was not received.

2. I am still no better off in understanding how an application that was submitted in May has somehow been mishandled despite numerous attempts of communication to try and get it moving forward... What has happened?

3. I received a 2nd phone call and agreed that I would be available after 10:30AM as I had meeting to attend to. I received the phone call at 14:07PM.

4. I received an email about the application being escalated to the registrar's office. If the agent from point #1 listened to anything I said on the phone this morning then this shouldn't have been the case yet.

So am I happy with the outcome? Absolutely not. Have you solved anything? Absolutely not. I am any better off knowing why this has occurred? No.

Needless to say, no matter what the outcome is, it seems like a very pointless endeavor moving forward with this application process as the semester is already in progress and it would take at least another 2-4 weeks to get the material and catchup to where I would need to be. Your incompetence then becomes my problem to deal with and there is no recourse for the applicant.
