Overseas students will not be eligible for a refund once they have used the College’s facilities to obtain a UK Student Visa or other travel permit to study at Halifax College.

UK residents who are not subject to immigration controls may claim a refund of tuition fees paid, less administrative charges of £100.

Students who require a Student Visa to enter the UK will be entitled to a refund of their tuition fees, less administrative charges of £100, if their UK Student Visa application is refused, except in the following circumstances:

If students have requested for the judicial review against the visa refusal, refunds will not be processed until the outcome of the review.

Refunds will not be made to a third party unless Halifax College receives explicit authorization from the applicant to do so. This should be in the form of a signed letter from the applicant specifically authorizing Halifax College to refund the student fees to a given third party. This condition applies regardless of the source of the original fee payment.

In order to verify that refund requests are genuine and to eliminate the possibility of fraud, the College reserves the right to make various security checks on any refund request received, including consultation with the UK Border Agency.

Refund requests may take up to four weeks to process from the date of the receipt of the required documents. While the College recognises that this delay may not be convenient, the security checks made on refund request are designed to ensure the security of any such payment.

If there is conclusive evidence that any of the documents submitted by the applicant or their representative are fraudulent, the tuition fees paid will not be refunded.

The refund request must be made within 6 months from the date of visa refusal.
