Flexible Learning Withdrawal And Refund Policy
Students who wish to withdraw from a Flexible Learning Programme of study, must do so officially by completing a withdrawal form, available upon request from the Department of Flexible Learning in Limerick or Thurles as appropriate.
Our policy in relation to the refunding of programme fees is as follows:
1.In the event, that a programme is cancelled by LIT for any reason, a refund of 100% of the payment, including the booking fee* (where applicable) will be issued.
2.In the event, that a student withdraws from a programme before the commencement date, a refund of 100% of the programme fee less the booking fee* (where applicable) will be issued. This is subject to the student informing the Department of Flexible Learning of their intention to withdraw, in writing, before the commencement date of the programme and presuming the student has paid their fees in full.
3.In the event that a student withdraws from a programme after the commencement date has passed, the following rules will apply:
• For programmes with a duration of less than 10 weeks, no refunds will apply from the date the programme commences.
• For programmes of up to and including 12 weeks’ duration, the student must complete and submit a withdrawal form to the Department of Flexible Learning within two weeks of the commencement date of the programme. Subject to all requirements being met, 70% of the programme fee less the booking fee* (where applicable), will be issued. Thereafter, no refunds will be processed.
• For programmes longer than 12 weeks in duration, the student must complete and submit a withdrawal form to the Department of Flexible Learning within four weeks of the commencement date of the programme. Subject to all requirements being met, 70% of the programme fee less the booking fee* (where applicable), will be issued. Thereafter, no refunds will be processed.
If the requirements outlined above are not met, no refund will be processed.
Please note that the policy outlined above applies to all students, regardless of the payment method used. Students availing of instalment plans will owe any outstanding payments if they fall outside the time period for a refund.
In extenuating circumstances such as illness, bereavement or exceptional work or personal commitments, students may appeal directly in writing to the Head of Department, Flexible Learning for a refund of fees paid, less the booking fee* (where applicable). Appeals are considered on a case-by-case basis. It is in this regard, that applicants are requested prior to enrolling, to inform themselves of the various requirements of the programme and to contact the programme leader for guidance on the programme suitability.
