Refund Policy
Students cannot drop or withdraw from a course(s) by merely stopping attendance.
Students can drop a course(s) free of charge during the add/drop period of each Semester/period. Students can either drop a course(s) online or by informing an academic advisor. After the add/drop period students are liable on the full tuition of the courses registered.
Cancellation of tuition (refund) applies in the case of termination of studies in accordance with the refund schedule below and provided the students inform their academic advisor in writing. The termination date will be considered to be the date on which the written notification is received. Apart from tuition, all other fees (i.e. Application fee, Registration fee, Insurance fee, Activities fee, Technology fee, etc.) are NOT refundable.
Cancellation of tuition (refund) will be based on the following schedule:
| Time of withdrawal | % of Cancellation (Tuition Refund) |
% of Tuition Charged |
|---|---|---|
| Fall and Spring Semesters | ||
| During the 1st and 2nd week of classes* | 100% | 0% |
| During the 3rd week of classes | 50% | 50% |
| During the 4th week of classes | 25% | 75% |
| After the end of 4th week of classes | 0% | 100% |
* For international/Non EU students, in case the visa is approved and the student decides not to proceed with their registration, an amount reflecting the costs incurred by the university will be deducted as non-refundable.
No refund of tuition will be made for whatever reason, for students who have been expelled, dismissed, suspended for disciplinary reasons, or denied visa on the basis of fake documents.
In special circumstances, the University may permit non-refundable balances to be offset against future tuition. This decision is entirely at the University’s discretion and must take place within two semesters following the student’s withdrawal from courses. Student credit balances cannot be transferred to other student accounts, whether current or future.
Medical School
Students on Medical School programmes cannot withdraw from the programme by merely stopping attendance. A student wishing to withdraw has to complete a “Withdrawal Form” and submit it to the relevant UNIC Athens officer. The date of withdrawal will be considered to be the date on which such a form is received fully completed.
Students on Medical School programmes who withdraw, or take Interruption of Studies (IOS), are still liable for any amounts invoiced prior to their withdrawal or IOS. Apart from tuition fees, all other categories of fees are not refundable. Tuition reduction (refund) will be based on the following refund schedule:
| Time of withdrawal per Semester | Tuition Reduction | Tuition Charged |
|---|---|---|
| Before classes start | 100% | 0% |
| During the first week of classes | 80% | 20% |
| During the second week of classes | 70% | 30% |
| During the third week of classes | 50% | 50% |
| During the fourth week of classes | 25% | 75% |
| After the fourth week of classes | 0% | 100% |
No refund of tuition will be made for whatever reason, for students who have been expelled, dismissed or suspended for disciplinary reasons, or denied an entry visa.
