The following terms & conditions apply for courses run by London College of Management Studies.

1. All students are required to be aged at least 18 or the minimum age specified for the course (please note that for the MBA programme you must be 23 or above); must provide the documentary evidence that they satisfy the entrance requirements of the course and must pay the registration fee of £100. The registration fee of £100 is not refundable under any condition.
2. All students are required to pay an initial deposit of 50% for all courses. Balance 50% shall be paid before the commencement of the course upon arrival. At the time of first payment of the fees, all students are also required to pay the Awarding Bodies Fees (Please note this is a requirement of UK Boarder Agency). It is worth noting that when applying for a visa under Tier-4, it can often work in your favour if you pay your fees in full upfront as this shows your commitment to your studies.
3. If a student voluntarily opts out of a programme, fees already paid are not refundable and may be charged the remaining payment for the whole of that academic year.
4. If the college decides on valid grounds not to run a course or terminates a particular course before its completion, due to lack of a viable number of students or any other reason, students may transfer to an alternative course at LCMS or the tuition fees already paid for the remaining duration of the course will be refunded.
5. In the event of the college having its license withdrawn the students will be entitled to a refund for the time of the remainder of the course fees already paid.
6. If a student is unable to join a course due to refusal by a Government authority to grant a student visa (if for failure to secure the 30 points required by the Point Based System for academic matters)) all tuition fees paid will be refunded less the registration fee of £100 and an administrative charge of £200. Any Registration Fees paid to the external bodies will not be refunded. In this case the student must submit the official refusal letter and all original documentation including the Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) and receipts issued by the College within 4 weeks from the date of refusal. The College will then send out a Refund Application Form which must be clearly completed and sent back with the official refusal letter to the College. Refunds will be processed within 30 days of receipt of the completed refund application form.
7. Failure to observe condition 6 above will lead to no claims being accepted and no refunds being made. Prospective students who do not apply for refunds for any other reason will not be given any refunds if LCMS is not informed before the commencement of the course.
8. Anyone who has been refused an entry clearance (visa) into the UK due to falsified documents would not receive any refunds at all.
9. If a student chooses to withdraw from a course, the following refund policy will be applied:
   • If written notice is given 4 or more weeks before the commencement of the course, all fees paid will be refunded less £300.
   • If notice of less than 4 weeks is given before the course commencement, £500 will be retained by the College.
   • After the commencement of the course no fees can be refunded and payment for the whole academic year will be charged from the student.
   • In all cases, students who have been provided with documentation confirming their enrolment at LCMS are not eligible for any refund (except at the discretion of the College).
