Payments

The academy expects students to keep their financial accounts current. Students receive a tuition fee invoice. Payment is due no later than the payment instalment deadline. No student may attend class until the tuition fee has been paid.

Refunds

Students can request a refund if deciding to withdraw within the first week of their first term at school. The tuition fee will be refunded less the non-refundable deposit. After this period, tuition fees for any period of absence during the year, whatever the motive or duration, are not refundable.

Refunds or deferrals will not be granted for cancellations occurring after the payment of any installment balance due, as outlined on the payment invoice and installment deadline schedule.

Refund option:
The refund option applies exclusively to new students who attend in person during the initial week of the full-time Certificate Program or Foundation Course.

Students are eligible to request a refund only if they decide to withdraw within the first week of their first term at the school and are physically present, on-campus, during that week. The school should receive the request by 4:00 PM on the Friday of the first week of the trimester. Please note that any refunded amount will exclude the non-refundable deposit.

Beyond the first week, tuition fees are non-refundable, regardless of the reason that prevents the student from attending.

The school is required to communicate to the relevant authorities any cancellation of international students traveling on a study visa obtained via school documentation. Full details and policies on applying for a study visa are included in the acceptance email.
