• The visa application or any documents attached to it were fraudulent;
• You did not provide the necessary documents, or the documents were inadequate;
• You did not demonstrate adequate financial support (maintenance);
• You applied for your visa too late;
the Language Gallery accepts no responsibility to refund.
5.3 Subject to Clause 4, if your refund application under clause 5.1 is approved, you will receive a full refund of course fees (minus any courier fees), if the following documents are provided:
(1) A copy of your VISA refusal letter (APP200);

7.1 The Language Gallery will make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the course you booked. In exceptional circumstances we reserve the right to change classrooms, teachers, location, and daily schedules.
7.2 The Language Gallery has the right to close classes and courses that have very few students and offer alternative courses/schedules to a similar specification. Only when we cannot offer alternative courses/schedules to the same specification may you receive a refund for any unused fees.
7.3 We will always publicise changes and reserve the right to change published course and accommodation information, including fees (but not exceeding 10% per academic year)
7.4 The Language Gallery placement procedures are benchmarked to the Common European Framework (link). You are tested Pre-arrival and on arrival to ensure you are at the right level. We do our best to ensure you are placed according to your booking and level. We have a procedure for misplaced students on the rare occasion it happens. In the case of misplacement by us, it will be resolved swiftly. However, in cases where there has been an attrition of language since your pre-arrival test or where a placement test is suspicious or fraudulent, then, on arrival, we have the right to determine your level of English, and place you on a course that matches the level that we have determined. In such a case, this course may have fewer lessons or a different timetable to the one you have booked. In the event of such a change no refund or financial adjustments will be made. The decision will be final and no other lessons will be provided in compensation.
8.1 You will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of your course.
9.1 You are expected to conduct yourself, at all times, in a manner which demonstrates respect for The Language Gallery and its staff, fellow students, members of the public and The Language Gallery Property. Breaches of the student code of conduct may constitute gross misconduct.
9.2 We have the right to expel you without refund if you materially or repeatedly breach The Student Code of Conduct. Our decision is final.
