Getting a refund

Find out how to get a refund for the Summer School programme below.

Withdrawal within the cooling-off period

You have the right to a full refund of the £250 deposit you paid us to secure your place on the Summer School within 14 days of accepting your offer, referred to as the cooling-off period.

If you moved into university accommodation or attended classes on your module within the cooling-off period, you will also be entitled to a full refund of any programme fees you paid (minus a pro rata deduction for accommodation and programme benefits already received and/or undertaken).

You will be entitled to a full refund if the University cancels your Summer School module. We recommend that you do not incur any non-refundable expenses, such as flights, until your module has been confirmed. These costs will remain your responsibility – they are not covered by this guidance or the Summer School Terms and Conditions.

Withdrawal before the start of the Summer School

If you withdraw or cancel your attendance on the Summer School after the cooling-off period, but before the start of the Summer School on the 30 June 2024, we will refund any programme fees paid. We will not refund the £250 deposit.

If you have already moved into University accommodation by the date of cancellation or withdrawal, there will be a pro rata deduction from your refund for accommodation and programme benefits already received and/or undertaken.

Withdrawal on or after the start of the Summer School

If you withdraw or cancel the contract on or after the start of the Summer School on 1 July 2024 we typicalls will not refund the £250 deposit or the programme fees.

We may issue a refund of all or any part of the programme fees if:

• you have been refused a visa to study on the Summer School, unless you made a clear error or omission in your application and UKVI give this as a reason for refusal (e.g. false documents were supplied). The Visa Refusal letter issued by the Home Office must be submitted with any request for a refund.
• there are severe, unanticipated and exceptional circumstances beyond your control which justify and prevent you from arriving to start your module (including verified Covid-19 reasons). You should contact summer@sussex.ac.uk to let us know as soon as possible. If there is an option to defer your place to the second session of the current Summer School year, and you accept, we may carry the programme fees forward. If this is not an option, we will require details and evidence of the extenuating circumstances so we can consider whether a refund can be made.

How to apply for a refund

Any applications for a refund of a tuition fee or other programme fees must be made in writing to summer@sussex.ac.uk as soon as possible. We will assess your request and decide if you are entitled to a refund.

Approved refunds will be processed in accordance with the . Refunds will be made at the rate of exchange in force on the date the refund is processed. Any charges levied by the receiving bank will be paid by you. The University will not be liable for any shortfall due to exchange rate fluctuations.
