CANCELLATIONS

Courses may be cancelled by sending a fax communication to the "ISTITUTO DANTE ALIGHIERI" school of your choice.

• If the fax is received up to 20 weekdays before the commencement of the course itself, 20% of the course fee shall be forfeited and withheld by the Institute.
• If the fax is received from 19 up to 10 weekdays before the commencement of the course, 30% of the course fee shall be forfeited and withheld.
• If the fax is received 9 weekdays or less before the commencement of the course, the entire fee shall be forfeited and withheld.

There is no refund for students who begin a course late or decide not to terminate such course. Course fees cannot be transferred to other students.
If the student should find it necessary to postpone or interrupt the course for very serious reasons, he may ask for a "tuition fee credit" for that portion of the course he will not be attending. This "credit" is valid for the ongoing academic year. With a minimum of four weeks' notice and the agreement of the Director of Studies, students attending courses of 24 weeks or longer may take a break during their studies.

CHANGE OF COURSES

If the students wish to change one of their courses, the request is to be made at least 30 days before the course begins, the credit given will be equal to the tuition fee paid minus the 20% of the tuition fee for that course. It is not possible to make changes after the course has begun.

COURSES

The Institute has the right to postpone group courses to later dates if the minimum number of students per group is not reached. Where insufficient bookings lead us to cancel any course mentioned, we will make every effort to offer an alternative course.
