Payment and Refund Policy

Overseas students are required to pay the full course fees for their first year to reserve a place while they are still overseas. An amount of GBP150 of the course fees paid is a non-refundable/non-transferable deposit. Once a place is reserved, your admission is kept open for as long as you require and the fees can be used if you need to keep re-applying for an entry clearance to the UK or if your circumstances change and you wish to delay your traveling to the UK. The fee paid by the students is to be adjusted towards the tuition fee only; it doesn’t cover the registration, membership, and examination fee.

Tuition fee is payable in Pound Sterling by International Bank Draft made payable only to “ACADEMIC COLLEGE OF LONDON”

Refunds:

A minimum of six (6) weeks is needed for the processing qualified refunds. In the event of a valid refund claim a refund cannot be claimed if the student is issued a visa on the college. The college shall not refund any amount paid to the consultants for their services or any money paid to a third party. The college can only refund the amount paid directly to the college subject to deductions.

Valid refund claims:

Students requiring a student visa to enter or remain in the UK may claim a refund of the tuition fee paid (less administrative charge of GBP150 only if their visa application has been refused and the college informed of this prior to the commencement of the course. A copy of the refusal letter from the British Embassy or High Commission, copies of the passport and all the original documentation received from the college must accompany the application for refund.

Non-refunds:

Fees are not refundable after the commencement of the course or if the student stops attending or leaves the course before its completion or is suspended by the college owing to non-attendance, misconducts etc. Fees are not refundable if, student obtains the visa on ACL programme, enters United Kingdom, and cancels his/her admission. This is to discourage the students who intend to work rather study; in such cases college will inform the immigration authorities. Fees are not refundable if a student chooses to cancel the admission and NOT enter the United Kingdom after obtaining the visa through ACL.
