Here at the London Institute we do not normally refund fees to students who
withdraw, assuming that they did actually start the course. We would only
vary this in exceptional circumstances usually related to serious illness
of the student or close family member, or where the student can demonstrate
that they have been badly advised by the Institute in some way or that some
other error has been made on our part. We apply the same rules to all
students irrespective of level or fee status.
Where the student is in receipt of SLC funding we would only relate this
policy to the element of the fee that the student had been assessed to pay.
In the specific cases where we do allow a refund we usually apply the rule
of thumb that if the student has attended for any part of a term then there
is no refund for that term.
