At Riohs College of Design, we understand that circumstances beyond the control of students may lead to withdrawal or cancellation of admission.

Fees paid to Riohs College of Design shall not be refundable. Refunds may only apply to students who make advance payments and communicate to the Administrator with a written letter of their intentions of not continuing with their admission.

Two – Three weeks before the start of class 60%
One week before the start of class 50%
On orientation day 40%
After the first week of class (5+ days) 30%

Medical Grounds

In a circumstance where due to a genuine reason (well communicated to Management with evidence) a student is unable to continue a particular session due to ill health after the start of a new class session. Therefore he/she will be afforded the opportunity to:

  • Should ill health last for one week after the start of a new class session, student shall be offered some assistance service to catch up with colleagues. The student should have provided a medical note and letter to the Administrator.
  • Should ailment last between 2 weeks to 3 weeks after the start of a new class session, the student shall be offered the opportunity to start a new session with the guarantee of the payment of at least 65% of full stream fees as may be applicable for new batch class. If the student is in good shape to continue with class, the opportunity will be provided.
  • Should ill health hinder the student from attending lessons for a maximum of 4 weeks after the start of a new class session, they shall be afforded a 30% refund of the original fee payment.

Gross Misconduct

In circumstances where a student’s behavior or conduct is not in tandem with the tenets of Riohs, Management shall in extreme circumstances require such a student to withdraw from the course. In this circumstance, no refunds shall be made to such a student.

Absenteeism and Tardiness

It is the policy of Riohs that once a student signs up for a particular stream, all other unforeseen events/activities have been taken into consideration. Hence absence from class is not an option. A student who constantly absences himself/herself for up to one week (4 days) is red-flagged and assumed to have quit the course. In all such cases, management will withdraw the student from the course. The student shall not be entitled to any refunds.

Note

  • Once payment is made by a student, a seat is reserved and all resources are prepared to welcome the student by Riohs.
  • Student withdrawal however means that an equally qualified student has been denied an opportunity. Thus, Riohs College of Design would be at a loss since it would not be able to replace a student who has requested to withdraw from the course.
  • All refunds will be paid via cheque.
  • If a student is enrolled for more than 10+ days, we will not make any refunds.
