3. The tuition fees are payable prior to the start of semester and cover all compulsory subjects as well as the use of IT.

4. All school fees must be paid even if the student resigns during or before the end of a semester or if he or she is expelled for any reason.

5. In exceptional circumstances, at the Director‘s discretion, the semester fees may be refunded if a student is unable to meet the terms of this contract. In such cases an administrative charge will be rendered.
