Oxford International Study Centre

Fees must be paid 14 days before arrival. These include: registration, accommodation placement, full course fee and any optional fees eg airport transfers. A deposit of 25% (or full fees for programmes of one month or less) is required on enrolment for students who need a Home Office letter of acceptance to facilitate Visa and Immigration applications.

Payment must be made in Pounds Sterling, either by cheque or by Bank Transfer. Bank Transfers are subject to a surcharge.

When there is no alternative, we reserve the right to alter courses and course dates without notice. In such cases, alternative arrangements will be made of equal or greater value than the original course booking.

All lessons are 45 minutes long (unless otherwise stated). In the event of a subject being taken by only one student we offer either one half of the number of lessons booked for that subject at no additional cost, or an alternative subject where a group is available.

Enrolment is confirmed when we have received all fees, completed application forms, and a signed copy of Student terms and conditions. Students may begin their programme any Monday .

Please note
that refund and cancellation policy for groups is different
and each group has it's own separate agreement.

A total refund (less registration fee, accommodation placement fee, expenses e.g. courier service, and administration fee of £50) is payable when:

• a visa application has been rejected , and the letter of rejection (original) is provided
• 30 days cancellation notice is given, prior to course commencementi
• evidence is produced concerning death or serious illness involving the student or his or her next-of-kin

A 50% refund is payable when:

• 15-29 days cancellation notice is given, prior to course commencement

A 25% refund is payable when:

• 3-14 days cancellation notice is given, prior to course commencement

No refund of the deposit or fees paid (short courses) is made to students who:

•  cancel courses with less than 72 hours notice, or after commencement, or who fail to arrive in Oxford after a visa invitation has been provided.

The above terms also apply to cancellation or postponement due to circumstances beyond our control eg disruption of flights, and you are advised to take out insurance against such events before travelling.

Students must obtain medical and travel insurance prior to enrolment.

OISC reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any student, without refund, who behaves in a manner which is deemed to be unsatisfactory. In all such cases, the Home Office and the student's family will be informed.

OISC is not liable for any damage sustained by students, or their property, howsoever caused, while enrolled at the College.

Complaints about any aspect of OISC should be addressed directly to the Principal.
