Cancellation and refunds
You have the right to cancel your booking without giving any reason from the point you apply to study up to the end of the 14th day after the start of the term for which you have applied. This is called the cancellation period. If you cancel your booking within the cancellation period, the University will reimburse you for fee payments received from you for that term.
| If you have applied for the following terms | End of cancellation period for each term |
|---|---|
| Term 1 | Sunday 29 September 2024 |
| Term 2 | Sunday 26 January 2025 |
| Term 3 | Monday 19 May 2025 |
The University will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which you inform us in writing about your decision to cancel your booking. The University will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction. If the payment is made by a sponsor or employer, the University will pay the refund to the relevant party.
If you cancel the booking after the cancellation period has ended, the University will not refund payments received from you. In the case of students who withdraw after the cancellation period has ended who have not yet paid their fees, these students will be invoiced directly for the full fees unless there are extenuating circumstances:
Examples of extenuating circumstances:
- if your visa application to study the English for University Study Programme is unsuccessful (evidence must be provided)
- illness (evidence must be provided via a medical certificate in English or a certified translation)
Refunds made due to extenuating circumstances will be calculated pro-rata. Refunds will be made in full-weeks and will not include the week that you notify us of your extenuating circumstance (e.g. if you notify us of extenuating circumstances any time after the cancellation period, and the extenuating circumstances are supported, you will receive a refund for full weeks following that week up to the end of the course. A week is considered to run from Monday to Sunday)
If you wish to cancel your course booking, you must send your request in an email to elt@cardiff.ac.uk.
We cannot accept cancellations over the phone or in person. When we have received your confirmation that you would like to cancel your booking, we will process the necessary refund and send it to you as soon as possible.
