overnight trips to nearby places of interest on

Saturday and Sunday.

Full details and the costs of each activity are

advertised in each school.

What is Structured Study?

Structured Study forms a valuable part of many Kaplan courses. The

Structured Study programme allows each student to customise their

attention.

Structured Study activities may vary but can include:• Practical Language Activities, both online and offl ine

• Regular monitoring and evaluation of goals

• Practice tests for students who are preparing for exams

proven communicative teaching method.

interview techniques.

Structured Study

Your Structured Study sessions give you access to

Structured Study facilities, resources and activities,

“The atmosphere here in Manchester

is great. The facilities, location, the

English has signifi cantly improved

about speaking in English - but now I have

got over that, and have good conversations

with people.”

“Kaplan is one of the best schools

around, and I hear this all the time. That’s why I chose Kaplan – and I wasn’t

wrong. With the organised school

events, you can enjoy learning about

New York while improving your English

at the same time. With Kaplan, you can

feel yourself improving step by step – it

“My experience in Kaplan has been great so far. I chose Intensive Business English

because I fi nd the subject very useful, especially if you are interested in learning about

the business environment in New Zealand. I have to say that the class exceeded my

expectations because I ended up learning about business culture from all over the

world. I had the opportunity to meet people from different countries in Europe, Asia

and Latin America, and share with them knowledge, work experiences and customs,

which I defi nitely fi nd the most enriching component of the class. Although I came to

New Zealand to improve my English skills, I also had the blessing to meet awesome

people and make close friends who will remain always in my heart.”

2. Payment deadline: All course fees must be paid in full no later than 30 days before the course starts. If a booking is made less than 30 days before the course starts, the fees are immediately payable. If payment in full has not been received, you will not be allowed to start your course.

3. Visa information: It is the responsibility of the student to arrange all applicable travel permits or visas and to have a valid passport and leave to remain for the whole period of study. The student may be asked to make payment in full prior to the issuing of any of the visa documentation referred to below:

UK: If your application is successful, we will provide a Confi rmation of Acceptance of Studies (Tier 4 GSV and CSV applicants only). Tier 4 applicants must take a Secure English Language Test (SELT) to establish their level of English before they apply for their visa. Students whose level of English is lower than intermediate should use the Student Visitor route SVV or ESVV. See the following website for further details: www.ukba.homeoffi ce.gov.uk/studyingintheuk/

Ireland/Canada: We will provide you with an invitation letter to assist you with your visa application.

USA: Once we have received your application, we will send a Proof of Funds form, which must be completed in order for Kaplan to issue you a Certifi cate of Eligibility (Form I-20), which is required in order to apply for a student visa at the US Consulate.

Australia: Visa application forms (Confi rmation of Enrolment) may not be issued by the school until full payment has been received and the enrolment agreement has been signed and returned. The enrolment agreement includes reference to the pre-departure and grievance procedures information and can be found on our website: www.kaplaninternational.com

New Zealand: In accordance with government regulations, visa support (Fees Receipt) is only issued by Kaplan when full payment has been received. Full details of visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service and can be viewed on their website at: http://www.immigration.govt.nz

4. Courier fees: If you enrol on a course in the USA less than 30 days before the course start date, a courier fee of USD50 will be charged to cover the expedition of visa documentation. If you enrol more than 30 days before the course start date, documentation will be sent by normal postal service, unless you request and pay for the courier service. In all other countries, a courier service is available on request at: GBP35, EUR55, CAD75, AUD75, NZD85.

5. Travel and medical insurance: Travel and medical insurance is compulsory at all Kaplan schools for the duration of your stay regardless of your course length or course/visa type. Kaplan can recommend a travel and medical insurance plan. Details of what this covers are available from your Kaplan representative. You are responsible for the belongings which you bring with you to Kaplan schools or accommodation and for taking out insurance for your own possessions. You are required to show proof of medical insurance at the school when you arrive. You will not be allowed to commence a course until you have obtained satisfactory medical insurance.

Australia: The Australian government requires all students on Student Visas to join the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme, a health insurance plan for overseas students in Australia. Payment of AUD 40/month for compulsory OSHC for the duration of the student’s visa must be made before a visa can be issued.

New Zealand: Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health and can be viewed on their website at http://www.moh.govt.nz. In addition, The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC

website at http://www.acc.co.nz. Please note that Kaplan’s recommended travel and medical insurance must be booked for a minimum of 4 weeks.

6. Health declaration: Students must report on their application any mental or physical illness, allergy, disability or condition that may interfere with their ability to successfully complete their programme, that may impact the health and well-being of any other student, host or staff member, that may require monitoring, treatment or emergency intervention of any kind during the student’s anticipated period of enrolment, or that may require special accommodations. Kaplan reserves the right to reject an applicant or terminate a student’s enrolment in the programme if the student’s continued participation represents a risk to their health and safety or to the health and safety of other students or staff, or if, notwithstanding reasonable accommodations, in the opinion of Kaplan, the student’s physical or mental condition makes the student unable or unlikely to successfully complete their programme. Refunds in such circumstances are at the discretion of Kaplan.

USA: Some schools located on university campuses require students to provide a Health Declaration and Immunization form.

7. Tuition fees: Tuition fees include lessons, orientation meeting, use of computer room and internet, placement and progress testing and a Kaplan certifi cate on completion of the course. Kaplan reserves the right to withhold the granting of a certifi cate attained by a student if tuition fees or any other fees remain outstanding, or other conditions are not met.

8. Additional services: Any additional services (transfers, travel, laundry, telephone costs, excursions, medical costs, special diet, exam fees, change of accommodation and enrolment amendments) are not included in any fees unless specifi cally stated on a valid invoice.

9. Twin accommodation: At Kaplan’s discretion, students may be required to book single room accommodation instead of twin room accommodation.

10. Under 18 year olds: Kaplan delivers adult courses (except for programmes advertised as being for juniors or young learners). Therefore, students aged 16 and 17 are advised that they will be attending classes with students aged 18 and over. Under 18 year olds may be required to pay a guardian fee, provide custodianship documents, live in Kaplan-approved accommodation, book Kaplan’s airport transfer service (these are compulsory in Australia and New Zealand) and purchase Kaplan medical insurance. All students under 18 must provide a signed Minor Authorisation form prior to arrival, and for Canada they must also provide a signed Health Declaration and excursion waiver form.

UK/Ireland: The British and Irish governments require all students under 18 to submit a Waiver form and an Authorisation of Emergency Medical Treatment form which will be provided at the time of booking.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS1. Rules and regulations: Students’ arrangements with Kaplan are governed by the law of the country where the particular school attended is located.

2. Arrivals and departures: All accommodation is booked from the Saturday or Sunday before the course start date until the Saturday morning after the course end date, unless otherwise advised. A partial week may be counted as 1 week’s accommodation. Students arriving between 22:30 – 6:00 may be asked to book alternative accommodation in a hotel on their fi rst night due to late/early arrival at accommodation.

3. Late arrivals, vacations and absences: If you begin your enrolment late or are absent during your course, no refund will be made for the time missed. Periods of absence cannot be made up with a free extension of the course. Vacation dates are pre-built into the Academic Year and Academic Semester programmes and students cannot make changes to these dates. Breaks taken at other times will be marked as periods of absence. For other courses, granting of any session breaks after the course has started will be at the discretion of individual schools and may incur a change fee or be marked as a period of absence.

4. Meals and classes missed: No refunds or substitutions will be made for meals or classes missed due to exams, excursions, internships, fi rst day orientation or other obligations that fall outside the normal schedule.

5. Public holidays: Classes are normally not held and most school facilities are closed on public holidays. All published course start dates fall on a Monday. If the Monday is a public holiday, the start date will fall on a Tuesday. Compensation will not be made for classes not offered on public holidays.

6. Campus facilities: Students attending a Kaplan school at a university or college campus location are advised that campus facilities may not be available during campus holidays. Further details are available from the Kaplan booking offi ce.

7. Change fees: A minimum of 4 weeks’ notice is required for any change. If you request a change of school location, course dates, accommodation or programme type after your course has started, you will be charged a change fee of GBP60, EUR85, USD100, CAD100, AUD75, NZD75 which is payable at the time the request is made. Kaplan is not obliged to fulfi ll any change request. Academic Year or Academic Semester students cannot transfer to a different Kaplan school during term time. If changing to a location where fees are lower, the difference in fees will not be refunded. If changing to a more expensive location or programme, the difference in fees will be charged. All changes are subject to Kaplan’s discretion and require approval of the Programme Director. You will not be charged a change fee if you extend your course, but late homestay extensions in Canada may require a re-placement fee of CAD100. It is the responsibility of the student to pay for any course or accommodation extensions. Any change of tuition resulting in a reduction in lessons will be treated as a termination of the existing booking and rebooking, and will thus be subject to the standard terms & conditions governing terminations (see ‘Termination Policy’).

8. Duration of lessons: All English lessons are 45 minutes in duration unless otherwise stated. Courses run from Monday to Friday and lessons are scheduled in the morning or the afternoon. Further details are available from the Kaplan booking offi ce.

9. Substitution policy: If, after the placement test taken on arrival at the school, a student is found to be at a level which is not appropriate for their booked course, the school reserves the right to place the student in an appropriate level class, which may have fewer lessons and a different curriculum. Students who do not have the ability to follow any course on offer may be required to terminate their studies with Kaplan. We also reserve the right to cancel courses at short notice due to insuffi cient demand.

10. Programme changes: Kaplan has the right to change course dates, course curricula, tutors, locations and programmes at any time at its discretion. However, in cases where the course is rescheduled prior to the start of the fi rst course and the new date is unacceptable to the student, all fees will be refunded.

11. Prices: Kaplan has the right to change prices due to tax increases, governmental actions or other events beyond Kaplan’s control. Prices are valid for courses starting in 2012.

12. Books and learning materials: All books and learning materials will be made available to students during their course. A book deposit (GBP25, EUR35, USD40) may be charged at the beginning of the course. This will be refunded at the end of the course, if the books are returned in good condition. Some specialised courses may require the purchase of books. In Canada, New Zealand and Australia a materials fee is charged to students to cover the cost of such items.

13. Residential housing deposit: A refundable housing deposit of up to GBP250, EUR200, USD500, CAD600, NZD250-500 or AUD250 may be charged on arrival to students taking residential accommodation in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The deposit is returned unless there is damage, loss or extra cleaning to be paid for on the student’s departure. In some cases the deposit may be non-refundable if the booking is cancelled.

14. Expulsion/Suspension: Any student who commits a criminal offence, violates the student conduct code or school policy, has, in Kaplan’s opinion, a poor attendance record (whether or not such attendance is in breach of any visa attendance requirements) or fails to pay an amount he or she is directly or indirectly liable to pay Kaplan in order to undertake the course, may be expelled or suspended. No refund will be given and the immigration authorities will be informed. (Western Australia: no refund for fi rst 20 weeks of course, refund of 40% for subsequent 20 weeks and full refund thereafter.)

Student Code of Conduct: You agree to abide by the student conduct rules and other policies while attending Kaplan. As part of Kaplan’s commitment to our students’ success, we seek to provide an optimal learning environment and expect students to conduct themselves in a manner that is considerate of those around them. Inappropriate conduct includes but is not limited to: (1) disruptions to the learning environment (i.e. use of profanity, harassment, mobile phone use in classrooms, etc); (2) deliberate destruction, misuse, or theft of Kaplan property or the property of fellow classmates; (3) violence or threats of violence towards persons or property of students or Kaplan staff; (4) improper use of email or Internet access; and (5) failure to comply with local copyright or criminal laws forbidding the misappropriation, copying or alteration of copyright-protected materials.

15. Liability: The liability of Kaplan, its group companies, their directors, offi cers, employees, affi liates, agents and partners with respect to losses arising from negligence (except where such liability cannot be excluded as a matter of law), breach


of contract or otherwise will be limited in all circumstances to the full amount paid to Kaplan or the relevant Kaplan group company by the relevant student for the particular programme. Such companies and persons will in no circumstances have any liability for indirect or consequential losses or damages.

16. Force majeure: Kaplan will not be liable in cases where Kaplan is unable to fulfi l any services to which they are contractually bound because of fi re, natural disaster, act of government, failure of suppliers or subcontractors, labour disputes or other reasons which are beyond Kaplan’s control.

17. Codes of practice: Kaplan has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the New Zealand Minister of Education and by the Australian National Code of Practice 2007 and the Educational Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act 2000). Information on these Codes is available on request from Kaplan or from www.minedu.govt.nz and www.aei.gov.au/AEI/ESOS

18. Australia: Aspect Education Sydney Pty Ltd, WELS (Australia) Pty Ltd, Aspect ILA Perth Pty Ltd, Access Learning Institutes Pty Ltd and Kaplan Aspect Cairns Pty Ltd are trading as and referred to as Kaplan International College Sydney City, Kaplan International College Sydney Manly, Kaplan International College Perth, Kaplan International College Brisbane and Kaplan International College Cairns. Agreement to the Kaplan Terms and Conditions does not remove the student’s right to take further action under Australia’s consumer protection laws, or their right to pursue other legal remedies under Australian law. All additional information and documents can be found on the Kaplan website: www.kaplaninternational.com

19. Student Visa Australia/UK/USA/New Zealand: Student visa holders are required to provide Kaplan with a current residential address and telephone number at all times, maintain satisfactory academic progress and attend a minimum of 80% of their course (in Australia/USA/New Zealand; 85% in New York). In the UK if ten contact days are missed the student will be outside the terms of their visa and will be reported to the UK Border Agency. Students who fail to show up for their enrolment or with less than 80% attendance (in Australia/USA/New Zealand; 85% in New York) or who miss ten days (UK) will be reported to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) in Australia, The Border Agency in the UK, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the USA or to New Zealand Immigration Services. Information collected by Kaplan which personally identifi es a student and information regarding a student’s course progress may be shared with the Australian State and Federal or British government, designated authorities, the Tuition Assurance Scheme (Australia), students’ parents, Kaplan staff and representatives and the ESOS Assurance Fund Manager (Australia). This information may include personal and contact details, course enrolment details and changes, and circumstances of any suspected breach by the student of any visa condition. Any school-aged dependents accompanying overseas students to Australia will be required to pay full fees if they are enrolled in either a government or non-government school.

REFUND POLICYRefunds will be made via the Kaplan representative to whom the fees were originally paid, or to the student’s bank account in the same country in which the fees were originally paid. All refunds will be made within 45 days of written notifi cation. In the event of Kaplan cancelling or terminating a course, a full refund of all unused fees will be made.

Australia: Refunds will be paid within 14 working days of written notifi cation. In accordance with sections 27-31 of ESOS Act 2000, providing the student has not withdrawn before the default day, Kaplan will pay a full refund to the student within 14 days if the course being offered does not commence on the agreed starting day; or the course stops being provided at any time after it starts and before it is completed; or the course is not provided in full to the student because a sanction has been imposed on the college. This agreement, and the availability of complaints and appeals process, does not remove the right of the student to take action under Australia’s customer protection laws.

Canada: A refund will be made less all nonrefundable service charges (airport transfer, courier fees, enrolment fees, medical insurance, accommodation placement fee, administrative fee, etc.) and a CAD100 change fee.

CANCELLATION/POSTPONEMENT POLICY‘Cancellation’ means cancelling a course before the start date of the fi rst course you are attending. Except as provided below for US, New Zealand and the UK, in all other cases where cancellations are made in writing 7 days or more before the arrival date listed on the booking confi rmation form, or on written notifi cation of a visa rejection and receipt of relevant supporting documentation, 100% of the tuition and accommodation fees will be refunded, but in all cases, the courier fee, accommodation placement fee (if utilised), enrolment fee (refundable in New Zealand) and any other service charges are nonrefundable.

Airport transfer fee, medical insurance, campus fee, etc) are non-refundable up to a maximum charge of USD $500. Cancellations made prior to the course start date but after arrival in the US on a Kaplan-issued Form I-20, will result in forfeiture of tuition, and any associated accommodation fees, equal to the fi rst 4 weeks for courses between 1-11 weeks and the fi rst 6 weeks for courses 12 weeks or longer.
