Students should follow the College’s formal withdrawal process in accordance with the College’s academic regulations.

Refunds to students

Refunds if made should follow the method by which the money was received:

  • Debit / Credit cards – refund made back to the original card – if refund rejected, refund to another card in the same name with appropriate ID verification.
  • Cheque payments – refund via cheque to account in the name of original payee.
  • Cash payments – refund via cheque – proof of identity needed.
  • Bank drafts – refund to the bank against which draft raised.
  • Bank transfers – ask payee to get their bank to request repayment – authorisation given by College for our bank to allow refund.  Should this request be out of time or repayment request cannot be processed – refund via bank transfer back to the originating bank only.
  • Bank transfers remain the final option should all other routes fail.
