Refund of Fees:
International student fees are accounted for separately and funds are held in reserve to meet any refunds required.
If a student decides against coming to New Zealand, the tuition fees, minus an administration fee of $500, will be refunded.
Once a student has arrived in New Zealand, refunds will be made only in the most exceptional circumstances (e.g. return home is necessary because of serious illness or death of a close family member), and then only partial refunds may be made, as the school will have incurred costs on the student's behalf for the whole of the year.
If the status of the student's visa changes during the year and permanent residency is obtained, there is no refund of tuition fees.
The Board of Trustees will make no refund to a student who is expelled from the school.
Please refer to the Refund Policy document for further information.
