Fee Refund Policy

Rationale

• The College assumes that all prospective students will have thought long and hard about taking up a course and therefore applying for admission.
• However, no matter how well intentioned one is, the College understands that there are many reasons for wishing to withdraw from a course, both before and after courses have commenced.
• Consequently, the College policy on refund of fees upon withdrawal is as follows:

1. Once a student has been fully enrolled, no refund is permitted or shall be made except in circumstances and situation where the College is advised in writing at least four weeks before the commencement date.
2. No refund is permitted or shall be made when a student withdraws once classes have commenced.
3. In case where a prospective student is refused a student visa, the College will refund all fees paid less a GBP150 administration fee. However, in such an event, no refund will be made unless the College has received all original copies of the College letters of enrolment plus an original copy of refusal from the appropriate immigration authority.
4. No refund is permitted or shall be made if a student enters the UK on a student visa obtained on the basis of the College's letters of acceptance and enrolment.
5. No refund is permitted or shall be made when a student decides to leave the College for whatever reason after an extension of a student visa has been obtained through College facilitation.
6. Where it is proved that a prospective student has submitted a forged document or documents with a view to obtain entry clearance, such a prospective student will not have his or her fees refunded by the College.
   

Refund Procedure

Whenever a student or prospective student decides to initiate a request for a refund, the request must be made in writing to the Registrar.

1. Lead Time

Although the College will always endeavour to respond to refund requests with sense of urgency, under normal circumstances it takes up to six weeks to process a refund.

    2.  Transfer of Fees to Another Person

From time to time, students who fail to attend College for bona fide reasons request the College to transfer the fees to a relative or friend's account. If and when the College decides to accept such a request, the fee will be transferred in full less a GBP150 administration charge. The College is under no obligation to honour such a request and such decisions are at the discretion of management.

• If the transfer is in favour of an existing student, the College will credit the account of the student and under no circumstances will the College refund the money directly to a student when the student account is in debit.
• Withdrawal Within Four Weeks of Course Commencement
  In the event that a prospective student withdraws from a course less than four weeks before the commencement date, a refund of fees will be made less a GBP250 cancellation fee.
