Switching / Rescheduling Your Class

A step-by-step guide to switching your scheduled class to a new date or location through your CBD College Student Portal. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Do not attempt this on a mobile phone or tablet. Please use a laptop or desktop computer. 

 

Important — please read before you start

This is a self-service process. CBD College does not reschedule students over the phone, via email, live chat or internal student messaging. A fee applies, which depends on how far out from your scheduled class date you are switching. We recommend using a laptop or desktop computer.

Things to know

A few quick tips to make the process as smooth as possible.

Why is there a fee?

When you book a class, a place is reserved for you. Switching incurs an administration fee that covers the rebooking process and the costs associated with your original class. The amount depends on how far out from your scheduled class date you are switching.

Can I switch to a different city or campus?

Yes — at Step 5, simply enter the postcode of the campus you'd like to attend instead, and the available classes at that location will appear in the results.

What if I forgot my login details?

Use the Forgot Password link on the portal login screen. Your username is the email address you used when you originally enrolled.

Can I switch the day before my class?

The Switch Class function is generally available right up until your class start time, but availability of replacement classes is subject to seats being open. We recommend switching as early as possible.
