--All refunds will be made to the original fee payer only.
If BSC cancels a programme after a student’s enrolment, BSC will refund all monies already paid. In the event that a refund is due, prorated refunds will be calculated on a weekly basis. When determining the number of weeks of a student’s program, BSC will consider a partial week the same as if a whole week were completed, provided the student was present at least one day during the scheduled week. All refunds will be made within 60 days of cancellation.
--a. Cancellation prior to arrival
Students cancelling courses or accommodation before 14 days prior to the course start date, or students who have had their visa application rejected BSC will refund fees received in full less non-refundable charges (registration fee, accommodation fee, courier fees and student insurance fees), the costs are listed for each college in the price list Students cancelling or postponing accommodation and/or courses within 14 days of arrival date, for reasons other than visa denial, will be charged a one week accommodation and/ or tuition fee at the standard rate in addition to the non-refundable charges (registration fee, accommodation fee, courier fee and student insurance fee). Non-BSC accommodation (i.e. accommodation booked by BSC through 3rd party suppliers) may be subject to different cancellation terms. Any accommodation booked through BSC that is not subject to the standard cancellation terms must be cancelled or postponed according to the cancellation terms quoted at the time of booking to avoid a cancellation fee (which may amount to the full stay charge). We remind you that in cases of non-BSC accommodation bookings, a deposit is required at the time of booking and payment in full is required one month prior to arrival. BSC will inform you of the booking terms of your chosen accommodation when confirming the booking.
--b. Cancellation after arrival and non-arrivals
Students wishing to leave their accommodation early must give notice in writing 4 weeks’ prior to termination. Students will be refunded remaining accommodation costs, following deduction of accommodation used plus required notice period. If the 4-week notice period is not provided, a cancellation fee equal to 4 weeks of the accommodation cost will apply. Please note: certain accommodation options may be subject to alternative cancellation charges. Should these differ from above, students will be notified at the time of booking. Once a student’s course has commenced, any changes to lessons (including reduction of hours and cancelled or shortened courses) are non-refundable if BSC has less than 4 weeks’ notice of the change. Students who wish to change location and have not booked on a multi-centre package will not be entitled to a refund should the chosen product or location be offered at a lower price or if the course duration is shortened.
