Payments
The tuition fee will be stated in the invoice. Payments must be made in advance for both tuition and accommodation. Yorkshire College is not liable for cancelled bookings due to unpaid fees.
Student Cancellation and Refund Policy
Course bookings and accommodation fees will be treated separately.
Cancelling a Course Before Arrival
The school must be notified of any cancellations at least 2 weeks before the start of the course before any refunds will be considered. A registration fee of £100 will always be charged.
If the school is not notified in the expected time period we deduct 2 weeks tuition from any agreed refunds and a £100 registration fee.
The school has the right to ask for documentary evidence before issuing a refund - Visa refusal, medical reports or other relevant documentation.
Visa Refusal
When a visa is refused, a refund of all tuition fees less £400 will be given. A copy of the visa refusal letter must be submitted to the school before payment is made.
After the Course Has Started
Tuition fees become non-refundable once the course has commenced. This applies regardless of the reason for withdrawal, including, but not limited to, illness, medical or personal circumstances, family emergencies, holidays, absence, early departure, transfer to another institution, or disciplinary action.
We therefore strongly recommend that all students take out comprehensive travel and study insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances.
Course Cancellation by the School
If the school needs to cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be given.
Refund Payment
Any refunds will only be paid to the bank account or debit card of the person who paid the original fee.
Accommodation
Any accommodation cancellations will need to be discussed with the individual provider.
Postponing
Courses start on Mondays (Tuesdays on public holidays). Students must inform the school of any delays and provide updated travel/visa info at least one week in advance.

Holidays
Holidays must be requested at least 2 weeks in advance. Unauthorized holidays count as absences.
No refunds will be given for holiday periods.
