Refunds to overseas bank accounts take longer (approximately four weeks after processing); domestic electronic funds transfers typically take two to three weeks.

Fee payment options

- Payments can be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT) to the ACT Education Directorate bank account; international telegraphic transfers may be used and should include the student name as payment reference.

Evidence of payment should be provided with application materials where required. Credit card (Visa and Mastercard) payments are accepted for application and other fees. Payments for parent contributions can also be made in person at the college reception (Visa/Mastercard), by telephone, or via the college's online payment system (Quickweb).

Important administrative notes (fees-related)

- Tuition fees are set by the ACT Minister or delegate and are charged on a cost-recovery basis for temporary visa holders; the Directorate publishes the applicable rates and manages fee waivers and exemptions according to policy. Fee-exemption, waiver and refund requests are managed by the International Education Unit.

Narrabundah College is a senior secondary college in Canberra offering three pathways for students aged 16–18: the Australian Senior Secondary Certificate with ATAR, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) for Years 11–12, and a French Baccalaureat pathway delivered in a French-language stream. The college educates about 1,000 Year 11–12 students and provides a curriculum anchored in the Australian framework while offering IB and French-language routes to broaden university options. The IB Diploma is a two-year program with six subjects (three Higher Level and three Standard Level) plus core components—Extended Essay, CAS, and Theory of Knowledge. In Year 12, ATAR and IB assessment tasks are integrated within timetabled courses. The French Baccalaureat pathway is taught in French as part of the French-stream pathway. A new Design, Arts, Technology and Science building (DATS), valued at about $31.9 million, is under construction with completion planned for 2027 and a subsequent move-in for staff and students. Seven languages are taught, and the school hosts students from more than 60 countries.
