Cancellation after 15 May: tuition fees for the Autumn Term remain due even if the student does not attend; the deposit and registration fee will not be returned.

- Withdrawal during the academic year: at least one term's written notice is required; failure to give proper notice can mean the deposit will not be returned and tuition fees for the remainder of the year may not be reimbursed. When withdrawal is mutually agreed, the current term's tuition fees will not be refunded; the deposit will be returned provided the account is settled.

- Absence, suspension, expulsion, force majeure: tuition fees are not reimbursed for missed schooling due to sickness or other reasons; tuition fees are non-refundable in the event of closure due to force majeure; in case of suspension or expulsion the current term's fees will not be refunded and the deposit will not be returned.

Late payment and penalties

- Late payments may incur interest at 1% per month. The school may restrict student participation or re-enrolment if instalments are past due.
