10) Deferment Policy

In the event the student wants to defer to a later time, they commit to formally communicate to the technical mentor and the school. If the student withdraws from the course before the 3^rd week of learning they will be allowed to carry forward any tuition fees they will have paid. After the 3^rd week, no deferral will be accepted, and the student will have to pay the module fees in full. There will be no refunds given and the student will be required to pay for the future module to rejoin.

However, a student is free to defer between modules with no implications whatsoever. Since full-time classes do not have set intervals for starting like in part-time programs, if the student defers between modules they’ll have to wait up until the next available full-time class gets to the module or simply switch to a part-time class.

11) Refund Policy

The enrollment deposit and cost of services or classes already delivered are non-refundable. In case of termination or deferment, a student will only be eligible for a refund if they do it before the 3^rd week of learning in line with the deferment policy. If the student had paid the entire upfront fee, they will be eligible for a refund for modules not yet covered. Kindly note that if the student is dismissed from the course due to a violation of the school’s code of conduct or academic policies, no refunds will be given.
