Fill out the application form and post or fax it to the address mentioned on the contact page. When enrolling a student, the Agency is asked to collect all necessary fees from the student and send the application form to the School. (In the case of enrolments to the USA, fees that must be remitted to the School are the $190 non-refundable application fee and the $60 non-refundable document shipping fee (if applicable).) After having received your application and deposit, we will send the confirmation of enrollment and the invoice. The welcome pack with extra information and the address of your accommodation will be sent after you have settled the remaining balance. The invoice must be paid in full, four weeks before arrival.
If a booking (e.g. arrival date, accommodation) is changed up to 31 days before departure, we will be obliged to charge a non-refundable fee of $75 / 50€. We will do our utmost, but cannot guarantee the fulfilment of the request made. In the case where extra costs will be incurred due to the rebooking, we will advise you of what the rebooking fee will be.
In order to provide the letter of acceptance required by the embassy for visa issuance in all countries but the USA, 40% of the total amount should be paid together with an additional non-refundable charge of $120 / 80€, or the equivalent (+ a shipping fee). In case of a visa refusal, a full refund minus the non-refundable charge of $120 / 80€ can only be made if the student provides the letter of refusal issued by the embassy at the latest 14 days before departure. After this date, we will consider the participation of the student as confirmed and cancellation / rebooking fees will apply.
In cases where the visa has not yet been issued 15 days before departure, we strongly recommend postponing the course. In this case, the first rebooking fee will not be charged.
Neither agent, operator, nor the school will be held responsible in any way for any accident, illness, loss of personal effects or change in personal circumstances arising at any time prior to, or during, the course. We therefore strongly recommend our personal travel insurance (incl. Health, Third-party, Accident and Baggage: $ 75 per person per month).
Parents of minors agree that neither GEOS Languages PLUS nor the homestay shall be liable for damage or problems caused either negligently or intentionally by their children while participating in trips. Parents and their children who are still minors recognize and accept the laws and the normal code of conduct of the country which they are visiting.
In the case of cancellations prior to the course start, the following fees will apply:
An insurance on cancellation fees is available. This is 2% of the total amount (a minimum of $75 / 50€, non-commissionable). The insurance must be settled upon registration and will only apply if a student cancels prior to departure due to health reasons (on receipt of written confirmation from the relevant doctor).
In the unlikely event the School will not be able to create a group course due to it not having enough students at the same time/level, smaller group courses or private tutorials for a reduced amount of lessons will be provided instead.
Under the rare circumstances of the School being forced to cancel, all fees paid for services will be refunded. The minimum number of participants for exam preparation courses is 4 students.
In the case of cancellations prior to the course start, the following policy will be applied:
In the case of cancellation before 60% of the course has been completed, the School will follow the cancellation / withdrawal policies as established by ACCET and the respective U.S. state.
In the case of students who have completed more than 61% of the course, the $190 non-refundable application fee and the $60 non-refundable document shipping fee (if applicable) will be credited toward the students’ tuition.
