Short Course Refund Policy

 Print

The JDMIS understands that circumstances may change and a student's plans may not always be achievable. As a school, unforseen circumstances may also arise that lead to unexpected changes in schedule. In order to recognise these eventualities and provide a measure of protection should they occur, the JDMIS has a formal refund policy for its short courses, certificate programs and for students taking individual diploma modules on a part-tme basis.

JDMIS short courses do not require students to enter into formal contracts with the school, as such the refund policies are somewhat less formal; written notice is not required, but recommended to avoid argument over notice receipt. Where informal channels (such as SMS, email, etc...) are used to notify the JDMIS of a cancellation, it is the responsibility to the student to ensure that the JDMIS has received the notification. The JDMIS recognized the notification of a cancellation at the time it was received and is not responsible for delays such as telephone network conjestion or student's internet connectivity problems.

Students of all JDMIS short courses do not pay registraton fees nor is there a distinction between tuition and non-tuition fees. Students of these courses pay a deposit of $30 or $300 (depending on the course duration) to reserve their seat in these courses. These deposits are fully refundable except in instances of last minute cancellation.

Full Refund

The student maintains the right to request that the JDMIS refund student course fees in full, under the following conditions:

  • Non-commencement of Course for any reason on commencement date
  • Non-completion of Course for any reason by completion date
  • Termination of Course for any reason before course completion

Students may expect such a refund within 7 working days from the date of their request provided one or more of the above conditions are met.

Under these circumstances, the JDMIS shall refund the entire amount of the student's fees (including deposit) minus the costs of any tools or materials included within the course that the student chooses to keep.

Partial Refund

Students who cancel their scheduled short courses of their own accord may request a partial refund from the JDMIS. The amount of the refund is based on the time between the receipt of the student's request to cancel or reschedule and the start date of their course and is outlined in the Table below:

Refund amount

Receipt of Student's cancellation notice

100% of course fees & deposit

More than 5 working days before the commencement date of the course

Entire amount of course fees minus registration deposit. (ie: deposit is forfeit)

Before, but not more than 5 working days before the commencement date of the course

No refunds are given following commencement of the course. Students are liable for course fees upon attendance.

On or after the commencement date of the of the course or after partial attendance of the course

Students may expect such a refund within 7 working days from the date of their request.

Important Notice Regarding Method of Refund

Students should be aware that the JDMIS will not refund moneys paid by parents or guardians directly to a student. In instances where a student cancels or withdraws from a course of study and their fees were paid by a parent, the refund will be issued to that parent using an appropriate payment method.
