Refund policies

When students withdraw, or are removed from the program for not achieving expected progress, the ICDL Graduate School may refund payments made for institutional charges. The refund is the difference between the amount paid towards institutional charges and the amount the school can legally retain. The ICDL Graduate School refunds tuition and fees paid by a sponsor, donor, or scholarship to the source directly, rather than to the student.

Students have the right to withdraw from a course at any time.  Notice of withdrawal should be made in writing and mailed to the ICDL Graduate School.  Students must notify the School at least 15 days prior to the anticipated date of withdrawal.  The institutional refund policy for students who have completed 60 percent or less of the course of instruction shall be a pro rata refund.  If the student withdraws from the course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation of the Agreement*, the School will remit a refund less the applicable registration fee, not to exceed $100.00, within thirty days following the withdrawal.  The student is obligated to pay only for educational services received and for unreturned equipment.  The refund shall be the amount the student paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of hours of instruction which he or she has not received but for which he or she has paid, and the denominator being the total number of hours of instruction for which he or she has paid.  Students are not entitled to any refund beyond what they have paid for or have received.

The cancellation and refund options are clearly disclosed in the enrollment agreement.

* Students can withdraw from a course with no penalties, until midnight of the first business day following the first class he or she attended.
