CHILC Terms & Conditions of Acceptance

Important Note: Please ensure you read these Terms and Conditions of Acceptance before signing your final acceptance and sending your Enrolment Form to us. These conditions apply to all students on courses at Castle Hill International Language Centre (referred to in this document as CHILC). By signing the Enrolment Form, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of Acceptance laid out herein.

Application and Payment

IELTS, Cambridge Exam Courses and Learn and Work
At the same time as completing and sending the Enrolment Form to us, please send us a deposit payment of £500 for part payment of your tuition fees in advance. This is required so that we can issue you with an immediate Unconditional Acceptance Letter and a bank receipt for your deposit. In many cases, you will need these documents to apply for your student visa.
Holiday Programmes, Business English and Customised Courses
These courses require a 20% deposit two months prior to the commencement of the course. This amount is non-refundable within thirty days of the commencement date.

Payment of Tuition Fees

The balance of fees due must be paid in full prior to the commencement of the course. Tuition fees paid in advance will be protected from any fee increases which may be applied during the period covered by the advance payment. In addition to tuition fees, you should expect to pay for external examination fees and textbooks.

Provision of Tuition

In the event that a course is undersubscribed, CHILC reserves the right to provide a smaller number of hours' tuition with no written notice. Alternatively, CHILC may offer one0to-one tuition on a pro-rata rate.

Academic Standards

Students who do not perform satisfactorily in their coursework will not be entered for external examinations. Students are accepted into CHILC on the strict understanding that progression through the course is conditional upon meeting the satisfactory legal immigration requirements for attendance, and upon successful attainment of prescribed performance targets. Assessments taken into consideration:

  • Coursework
  • Internal CHILC examination results
  • Attendance
  • Effort in class and in homework
  • Public examination potential

Students who do not meet the attainment criteria may not be allowed to proceed with their original course and may at the discretion of CHILC be offered an alternative programme or invited to withdraw from CHILC.

Cancellation or Withdrawal

In the vent of cancellation or withdrawal prior to the commencement of the course, a refund for the deposit paid will not be made, unless student visa is rejected or refused, in which case written evidence of this must provided. Should your student visa application be rejected or refused for whatever reason, CHILC will refund £400 and retain £10 to cover our administration, postage and bank charges. If, however, you use CHILC documentation to obtain a student visa and then decide not to come and study here your deposit is non-refundable in full except in mitigating circumstances given in writing at least 4 weeks prior to the commencement of the course. CHILC will at its sole discretion consider refunds for deposits only in extreme conditions and upon receipt of written evidence.

Suspension and Expulsion

All students are subject to CHILC's disciplinary procedures. CHILC reserves the right to suspend or expel a student whose conduct or attendance is unsatisfactory. Suspension and expulsion are at the sole discretion of the Principal whose decision is final. There will be no refund of fees in these cases.

Accommodation

CHILC undertakes to find students suitable and appropriate accommodation prior to arrival. CHILC will also assist students in transferring accommodation once only. Further assistance given by CHILC in transferring accommodation will be charged at £100 per move. There CHILC assists students by providing the name of organisations offering accommodation or letting services. CHILC is not responsible for any arrangements made between the student and the provider of accommodation.

Students are responsible for any damage caused by them to the property itself or any item in property. CHILC reserves the right to recover costs for any damages incurred.
NB! All accommodation fees must be paid either in advance or on the day of arrival. No accommodation will be provided if the fees are not paid for in this way. Students on courses longer than one month in duration must have sufficient funds to cover at least one month's accommodation fees.

Insurance

CHILC recommends that all students should take out personal, medical and dental insurance to cover any loss or damage to their property or person. CHILC does not accept any responsibility for loss or damage of students' personal property nor is it responsible for any medical or dental costs incurred by the student during their stay at CHILC.

Publicity

Students and their parents or guardians agree that the students' details and achievements may be used for promotional purposes without being given additional consent or notification.

Welfare and Guardianship

Where a student is under the age of 18 upon arrival to study on a full-time course, a parent may request that CHILC appoint a local legal guardian. The fee for this service is £250 for every 12 weeks, payable upon arrival at CHILC.

No variation to these conditions is valid unless agreed in writing by the Principal.
