Tuition Fee Refund Policy

Refund of Tuition Fees, for students who decide to withdraw or suspend their application and/or studies, is processed according to the following criteria:

  • If the student’s documents have not been submitted to the Ministry of Education and the Migration Department of Cyprus for approval, 90% of the tuition fees already paid will be refunded.
  • If the student’s documents have been submitted to the Ministry of Education and the Migration Department of Cyprus for approval, 50% of the tuition fees already paid will be refunded.
  • If a student has been granted a visa, but decides to withdraw for any reason, there will be no refund of tuition fees.
  • If the Migration Department refuses to issue a visa on the grounds that the student’s documents are not authentic, there will be no refund of tuition fees.
  • If a student gets expelled, suspended or withdraws from his/her studies, there will be no refund of tuition fees.
  • If a student requests to transfer to another institution, regardless of the time at which the request is submitted there will be no refund of tuition fees.
  • In the event of Force Majeure occurring after the student’s documents have been submitted to the Ministry of Education and the Migration Department of Cyprus or after a visa has been issued, no tuition fees shall be refunded. In such cases, the student will be required to resume the application process or commence/continue their studies as soon as circumstances permit.

Application, registration fees and other bank charges are non-refundable. The date on which the student submits his/her written application to the High School is considered the day of the student’s decision not to accept the position offered to him/her or to end his/her studies and request a refund of the tuition fees.

If a student decides to withdraw or terminate his/her studies before the expiration of his/her registration, then (s)he must request the refund of the Visa Guarantee within 30 days. The Visa Guarantee shall NOT be refunded if:
