Important Policies

Fee Protection

Imperial College of New Zealand has an arrangement with the Public trust, which acts as a trustee to protect student’s fee by holding the fee amount in a trust account. This protects all students fee against the withdrawal of accreditation of the College, any unlikely event of insolvency or the regulatory closure. This is a NZQA approved arrangement for fee protection.

Student Withdrawals and Refunds Policy

Purpose of the Policy

Imperial College of New Zealand ensures that students and other stakeholders receive clear information about the student withdrawals and refund requirements. ICNZ ensures that the fee refund procedure fully meets the requirements of the regulators (NZQA and MoE) and the Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016.

PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Students wishing to withdraw from any of the courses must complete the course withdrawal request form with the reasons for withdrawal from the College
The Principal or nominee makes decision (either approves or declines) on the application. Refund requests are approved or declined by the Principal or nominee based on the withdrawals and Refunds schedule as below
When the refund applications are approved, Public Trust refund forms are generated by the administration and are given to the students for their signature and any relevant information. When the refund applications are declined, students are given opportunity to have meeting with Principal to discuss the reasons for decline
Completed Public trust refund forms are then sent to Public Trust for authorisation and processing of fees held by Public Trust.
In instances where a course is being cancelled, the College shall arrange for a full refund of fees paid by the students. In the event that a course is cancelled part way through due to unforeseen circumstances (including course closure or regulatory closure), a proportional refund of fees paid will be given.
Students whose attendance is below the accepted percentage, or has failed to make contact with the College, despite warning letters being sent or phone calls made will be withdrawn from the course and Immigration New Zealand will be notified immediately, and no refund applies.
