  3. In cases of the cancellation of enrolment or withdrawal from a program or course, the cancellation fee, administration charge, if relevant, and the refund of tuition, fees and charges, is calculated as shown in the table below.
  4. In cases of deferrals, the tuition, fees and charges paid by the student will be retained by WLIC, without interest or penalty, until the student recommences their studies or withdraws from WLIC.
  5. If the student subsequently withdraws from WLIC after having deferred the start of their program, the Fee Refund Policy will apply as at the date WLIC was advised of the student’s deferral, based on the original start date of the program.
