This process can take up to 30 days from requesting the refund to your card. If the original payment method was made via a bank account that is closed, we require documentation confirming the closure of the account, allowing us to refund to the bank account of the original cardholder. This may delay the refund.

7.13 If required, some applicants may be invited to a meeting to discuss the case further, if this measure is required, the Refunds Team will contact student to arrange.
