When do I have to pay my tuition fees?

Your place on the Summer School will be held for 20 calendar days after we have offered you a place.

We are constantly making new offers for Summer School places, and positions are filled on a first-come first-served basis.

Your place on the Summer School is only guaranteed once we have received full payment. After 20 calendar days has passed, your offer for a place may be withdrawn.

If you choose to withdraw from the Summer School we will refund 80% of your tuition fees, provided you notify us at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the start date.

 

 

How do I pay my tuition fees?

In your confirmation email there will be a web link with instructions how you pay your tuition fees.

Is it possible to pay in instalments?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to pay in instalments for our Summer Schools.

Can I pay by credit or debit card?

Yes, all major credit and debit cards are accepted.

What should I do if my credit card is rejected?

Students will need to contact their credit card issuer to resolve the problem. Usually, payments are rejected because of security measures put in place to protect from fraud - international payments are more likely to be rejected on these grounds. It may be necessary to arrange with your card issuer to make a specific payment overseas.

The following checklist may be of some help:

  1. Check that your card is authorised to make international payments
  2. Check you have sufficient funds/credit limit available
  3. Check your bank's daily limit for your debit/credit card covers the amount you are paying online

When making a large payment, always notify your card issuer in advance how much you will be paying, who will be paying and when the payment will be made; this reduces the risk of the payment being rejected for card security reasons.

Is accommodation included in the tuition fees?

No, accommodation is not included in the tuition fees. Please see our Summer Accommodation website for information on what is available to book near our South Kensington campus.

For students who have paid and have a confirmed place, you will be eligible for a 25% discount in the halls of residence, depending on availability.

Please note students are solely responsible for finding and booking their accommodation for the duration of the Summer School.

 

Will I get a refund if I withdraw from the programme?

We operate the following policy on refunds:

To withdraw from the Summer School, you must email cpd@imperial.ac.uk to notify us that you want to withdraw from the Summer School.

Tuition fees will then be refunded in accordance with the terms set out below.

  • 14 calendar days before the start of the Summer School a 20% fee will be charged (80% refund of tuition fees)
  • Less than 14 calendar days before the start of the Summer School a 100% fee will be charged and no refund will be made. 

All refunds are made in UK Sterling. Imperial College London cannot refund any shortfalls due to exchange rate fluctuations or offer compensation for any bank or other charges incurred.
