Refunds

The University accepts no obligation to refund any fee, or part thereof, once a student registers on a programme.  Students remain liable for fees for the period of registration up to the date they officially withdraw.

Refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:

• When an amount in excess of the total fee due has been paid, or
• When a student officially withdraws from the University, and this results in a credit balance
• When a student officially defers their studies and this results in a credit balance, or
• When a programme, course or module is cancelled.
• Material charges may also be included.

If an ATU programme, course or module is cancelled, students will be offered a full refund of fees paid, or the opportunity to enrol on an alternative programme for which they meet the eligibility criteria.

Refunds to grant holders or sponsored students who have paid fees and are pending approval of a grant, are issued only when the University has received confirmation of grant approval from the grant authority or sponsor.  These refunds are issued automatically and do not need to be claimed from the Fees Office.
