Please make sure that you monitor your emails for requests of further information. If the refund is due to withdrawal from studies, visa refusal, or university rejection, ensure that you have confirmed this with your recruiter or the registry team. Any delays in providing information or notifying relevant teams will result in refund delays. Submitting multiple forms will not expedite the refund process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once my refund is approved, how long will it take for me to receive the funds?<\/strong><br \/>\nFunds may take up to 15 business days to be delivered to the source. Please note that this timeframe can be affected by bank holidays.

This includes any third-party payment methods involved in the transaction. In cases where multiple payment sources were used for the original purchase, the refund will be allocated proportionally based on the source details.<br \/>\nPlease note that:<br \/>\n\u2022 If third parties (such as payment providers or financial institutions) were involved in the original transaction, the refund will be returned to them accordingly.<br \/>\n\u2022 The breakdown of the refund will reflect the various sources used in the transaction, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any fees applied to my refund?<\/strong><br \/>\nFees will differ according to partner university. For full clarification of fees, please refer to the Terms and Conditions outlined in your offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can I find if I am eligible?<\/strong><br \/>\nEligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis.
