Students applying to the ESL Institute must submit:

• a non-refundable fee of US $40

• an advanced tuition payment of US $200

• a housing deposit (if applicable) of $100, with the application.

If the student is not accepted, the $200 advanced tuition payment will be refunded in full. However, if the student is accepted and then formally cancels at least 60 days prior to the beginning date of the term, $100 of the advanced tuition payment will be refunded to the student. In addition, any costs to express mail the I-20 will be charged to the student and reduce the amount of the refund.

If the student is accepted and fails to arrive, the $200 advanced tuition payment will not be refunded.

No refunds will be made for any reason for withdrawals or cancellations on or after the first day of classes. 

Non F-1 Students will be refunded in the event a course is canceled by the ESL Institute. Requests for refunds of course fees received one week (five working days) or more before the start date of the class will receive a full refund. No refunds of fees or transfer of fees will be made for any reason once a class has started.

Non F-1 students who request refunds prior to the start of the class but less than five working days prior to the start date will have option of transferring to another class. Escrowed funds will be held for no more than one year and may be applied to any other course offered by the ESL Institute. Funds that are unused for one year will be forfeited.
