Refund Policy

Milford School - Refund Policy

If the pupil withdraws from their course of study before the completion date they may be eligible for a refund of tuition fees.

1. In order to be eligible for any refund the parent or legal guardian must apply in writing to the Board of Trustees setting out the special circumstances of the claim within one month of the last day of attendance.

2. If the application is made before the start of the course, fees will be refunded in full less an administration charge of $200.00 to cover costs incurred by the school.

3. If the application is made after the start of the course, but before the second half of the course, fees will be refunded less:

· An administration charge of $200.00

· Costs to the school already incurred for tuition.

· Components of the fee already committed for the duration of the course, including appropriate proportions of salaries of teachers and support staff (if applicable).

· Costs already incurred for the use of facilities and resources.

· The proportion of the Government Levy the school is required to pay.

· Any other costs already incurred.

4. If the application is made after the second half of the course, you will not receive a refund except in exceptional circumstances.

5. If an International Student gains residency during the course no further fees are to be paid and a refund may be made of the unused portion of prepaid fees. The new resident will now abide by the school enrolment scheme. Documentation must be provided within 14 days.

6. The Board of Trustees will make no refund

· where students are asked to leave the School because of misbehavior, poor attendance or violation of school rules

· where students wish to transfer to another school

· where students return home for any reason other than the serious illness or death of a close family member

· if the enrolment application is found to be inaccurate in any way the contract may be terminated.

7. The Board of Trustees will ensure that there is a reserve of funds to cover International Students’ prepaid tuition fees in the event that a refund should be necessary.
