    Cancellation and Refund Policy

    All requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Director, Townsville International English School, PO Box 2219, Townsville, 4810. Or email Director@tiesnq.com.au If you are withdrawing from a course due to illness, a medical certificate must accompany your letter.

    Tuition fees are non transferable to other students or institutions.

    All refunds will be paid in the same currency in which the fees were paid and refunded only to the person who entered into the contract with TIES. However, if the person gives written consent to pay the refund to someone else this will be appropriate. TIES adheres to the policy of refunding fees to the person who originally paid the fees. If you appoint your agent for this enrolment process and your agent pays the fees to TIES on your behalf, the refund will be made to your agent. However, TIES will consider onshore refund payments to the student, if your agent agrees. In either case this is determined at the discretion of the Director of TIES.

    All fees paid including any course fees collected by education agents on behalf of TIES, except the non-refundable enrolment fee, accommodation placement fees and air-port pick-up subject to this refund policy.

    Refunds will be paid within 14 days of notification.

    Bank charges will be deducted from refunds when occurred.

    100% of the tuition fees will be refunded if a visa application is rejected. You must notify TIES within 28 days of visa rejection.

    100% of the tuition fees will be refunded if you cancel your enrolment in writing 4 or more weeks before the commencement of your course.

    50% of the tuition fees will be refunded if you cancel your enrolment in writing less than 4 weeks before the commencement of your course.

    Refunds will not be granted once a course has commenced.

    TIES reserves the right to cancel a course if numbers are insufficient. In the unlikely event that TIES is unable to deliver your course in full, you will be offered a refund of all the course money you have paid to date. The refund will be paid to you within 2 weeks of the day on which the course ceased being provided. Alternatively, you may be offered enrolment in an alternative course by TIES at no extra cost to you. You have the right to choose whether you would prefer a full refund of course fees, or to accept a place in another course. If you choose placement in another course, we will ask you to sign a document to indicate that you accept the placement.

    If TIES is unable to provide the student with a refund or place them in an alternative course, the Tuition Protection Scheme (TPS) will assist the student in finding an alternative course or to get a refund if a suitable alternative is not found. Refunds will be in Australian dollars.

    TIES reserves the right to expel a student who does not adhere to the discipline code of behaviour of the school. No refund will be given.

    No refund will be given for school closures due to dangerous situations (E.g. fire, cyclone, pandemics, flooding etc.) The school may decide to close for the safety of the students and staff. Nothing in the School’s complaints and appeals policy removes the right of any overseas student to pursue other legal remedies.
