Refund Policy
All refunds are discretionary.
Deposits
Deposits paid by overseas students will not be refunded. The only exception is if a student is refused their visa, an admin fee of £100 will be deducted from the deposit to cover administration costs.
Economic cost recovery courses
No refunds are granted though a substitute delegate is acceptable. College in the Community courses are ECR courses and so fees are non refundable.
PCDL courses (Adult Leisure courses)
As of 1st March 2009, no refunds are given unless the course is cancelled.
