General conditions

 

Once the registration process in any of our courses has been completed, the student must pay the total amount of the registration fee; except in those courses in which a pre-registration payment is required, in which case this amount will be deducted from the total fee of the course.

The deadline for payment is three days. The due date will be given during the registration process. If payment is not made before that date, Cursos Internacionales will consider the student's registration as cancelled, in which case, if the student is still interested in the course, he/she will have to go through the registration process again.

Students who have paid the pre-enrollment fee within the established dates can access their student area through the online registration application and print their confirmation letter.

Student must pay the total amount of their tuition before the course starts. Cursos Internacionales may deny the access to the student who, one the course has started, has not paid the total amount of the tuiton fees. In this case, the student is not entitled to a refund of the amount paid. In the event of non-payment, Cursos Internacionales can also deny the student at the end of the course the certificate and/or official accreditation proving the course attendance. 

Students unable to attend on the first day must notify Cursos Interncionales in writing prior to the first classroom session in order to ensure a spot on the course.

Cursos Internacionales reserves the right to cancel or change those options or courses with too few students. If a course or option is cancelled, students will be reimbursed. Cursos Internacionales cultural courses and activities that do not attract a viable minimum number of students may also be cancelled. If this happens, your money will be reimbursed.

The first day’s only academic activity is a placement test, which will be used to determine each student’s level of Spanish. If the student has chosen options which are only available to students with intermediate, advanced or proficiency levels of Spanish and are assigned a beginners level on the placement test, he will be assigned the options for beginners.
