No Refund. Fees for full study period (term) to be paid.
The student is refused a visa and therefore does not commence their course on the agreed starting day or withdrwas from the course on or before the agreed starting day because of the visa refusal
The refund amount is calculated as follows:
The total amount of all course fees received before the default day minus either 5% of the maount of course fees or $500 - whichever is the lesser amount.

As an example, to illustrate this, if Raj has paid $1500 in course fees but has hisa visa refused. 5% of $1500 is $75. As this is a lesser amount than $500 this is what will be paid as a refund. i.e., the refund amount will be $1425.
The student is refused a visa and has already commenced their course
The refund amount is calculated as follows:
The weekly tuition fee x weeks in the default period.

As an example, to illustrate this, if Raj is studying a 40 week course. Each term is 10 weeks. The total fees for Raj's course $10000 in course fee and $500 material fee. Raj pays the first term's course fee of $2500 plus the material fee of $500. However, Raj completed 2 weeks (14 days) of his course but then has his visa refused.
The weekly course fees for this course amount to $250 per week. The number of weeks in the default period is 8 weeks ( 56 days) i.e. to the end of the first term.

Raj is therefore eligible to receive a refund of $2000 i.e., the weekly course fees of $250 x the number of weeks in the dafult period of 8 weeks. Raj won't be eligible to have the material fee refunded.
