For all other start dates, the conditions of offer must be met a minimum of 1 month before the official start date of the programme. If conditions are met after this point we may be able to confirm a deferred place. Applicants who are studying a progression programme at the University of Exeter INTO centre are excluded from these deadlines.

· University reserves the right to amend or withdraw an offer where it comes to our attention that the applicant (or party authorised to act on behalf of an applicant) has taken or is taking, more than one academic qualification that meets our entry requirements, provides fraudulent or false information or has not disclosed information which would have affected the outcome of their application.

· Requests to change a programme/course of study during the application stage or on arrival at the University are not guaranteed and are subject to availability and meeting the terms of entry for that specific programme.

Your programme of Study

Programme contents and information about learning and teaching for your chosen programme can be viewed on our website. The University reserves the right to make variations to programme contents, entry requirements and methods of delivery, and to discontinue, merge or combine programmes, both before and after a student’s admission to the University, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University and will notify you via email where a substantial change is made to your programme of study.

In the event that, prior to the student commencing the first term of study for any programme described in our prospectus, the University discontinues the programme, the student may either (1) withdraw from the University without any liability for fees; or (2) transfer to such other programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to enrol in a course at a different University, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.

Once the student has commenced the first term of study, if:

(a) the University’s ability to deliver programmes or other services in accordance with the descriptions provided is compromised by circumstances beyond the control of the University (eg, third party industrial action), the University will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so;
(b) the programme is cancelled or substantially varied from that described in the prospectus for reasons other than circumstances beyond the University's reasonable control, the University will use reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable replacement programme. If the student does not wish to accept the replacement programme, the student shall be entitled to withdraw from the programme. In the event of such withdrawal the University shall make an appropriate refund of course fees.

Deposit Refund Policy

All deposit payments are subject to a 14 day cancellation period, if you cancel your place within 14 days of making the payment your deposit will be refunded in full.

Deposits will only be refunded outside of the 14 day cancellation period in cases where:

· A Tier 4 General (Adult) Student visa has been refused. A copy of your Entry Clearance Officers Letter will be required as evidence of the refusal.

· You fail to meet the University’s English Language requirements. Failure to arrange to take an appropriate English Language test prior to the start date of your programme* will not be considered grounds for a refund: you must provide evidence of having taken a recognised test within 5 months, prior to the start of your programme, in order to qualify. A copy of your recognised test result (certificate) will be required as evidence.

· You fail to satisfy the University's academic requirements. You must submit academic results (a scanned copy of the official transcripts will be required as evidence) to the University as soon as they are available and before the start date of your programme. If we subsequently offer you a place on the same programme and you choose not to take up the place, your deposit payment will be retained.

· A medical condition unknown at the point of acceptance prevents study (formal evidence will be required in these circumstances).

All deposit refund requests must be requested in writing to pg-ad@exeter.ac.uk. The request must be submitted along with any evidence within 30 days of the official start date of your programme.

* Applicants who have a deferred offer for September 2016 entry must supply a suitable certificate of their English language ability, or evidence of a confirmed place on pre-sessional English at INTO University of Exeter, no later than 30 June 2016.

Please note: The instances listed above are deemed null and void if you are found to have provided fraudulent documentation in support of your University or a UK visa application. In such circumstances any offer from the University will be invalidated and we will notify UK Visas and Immigration and retain the deposit payment.

Please note, that on occasion where an applicant’s overall profile demonstrates ability to meet the programme requirements and there are no UKVI visa or immigration implications, the University may choose to soften on the published English Language requirements. If we receive a qualification and the University chooses to soften by subsequently offering you a place on the same programme, if you choose not to take up the place, your deposit payment will be retained.

By making a deposit payment you are confirming that you understand and agree to the terms and conditions of our Deposit Refund Policy. If you have any queries about the deposit payment or refund policy please contact us at pg-ad@exeter.ac.uk.
