Tuition Protection Insurance
Tuition Protection Insurance serves to financially protect families in anticipated and unforeseen circumstances.
Without this insurance, refunds will strictly not be provided as per our Terms and Conditions. We encourage all families to consider their specific situation and assess whether such protection may be beneficial.
Tuition Protection INSURANCE
This level of protection can be purchased at a cost of 10% of total tuition and must be paid at the time of enrolment. The unused portion of the tuition will be refunded should one of the following events occur:
- The student has a serious illness which will prevent them from returning to school within 6 months. In the case of a temporary illness of 6 months or less, the student may be granted a leave of absence from the school and apply the remaining tuition upon their return. A letter from the family doctor will be required.
- The family is forced to re-locate due to a job change within the same company. A letter from the employer will be required stating that the re-location will prevent the student from attending their current Blyth campus or any other campus due to distance.
