Deposits, Refunds & Fee Protection
COURSE DEPOSITS
A $250 deposit (refundable) is due on acceptance to all courses; this ensures students placement on the course. The deposit is payable within two weeks of receiving the confirmation of acceptance letter in the mail. This deposit is part of student’s tuition fees and, once paid, will be deducted from the fees balance.
REFUNDS
- If the College cancels a course prior to the commencement date, monies paid will be refunded.
- If the College cancel a course after the commencement date, monies paid will be refunded less amount deducted for lessons conducted.
- If students withdraw at any time prior to the seventh day, after the first day at which their attendance is required, a refund will be made equal to the full amount paid, less ten percent of those payments or $500, which ever is the lesser.
- Students withdrawing after seven days, after the first day of commencement of their course will not receive a refund of fees.
- Students wishing to withdraw are required to make a formal withdrawal in writing to the Director of the Design and Arts College of New Zealand.
STUDENT FEE PROTECTION
The College has a fee protection arrangement in place whereby all the unused portion of the paid student fees is kept in the independent Trust account and made available to students within a maximum of 60 days if a course is cancelled by the College.
The fee protection scheme protects all monies paid to D&A by students and includes tuition, living costs if applicable, and any monies paid to or held by D&A on behalf of a student. In the unlikely event of a course or college closure, student’s fees will be made available by reimbursement.
More information on Student Fee Protection is available in the Student Handbook, or by contacting The Registrar at D&A.
