Enrolment Terms
A Student is accepted for enrolment at MAKE UP ATELIER upon the receipt of a full deposit. Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferable to the very next course. The balance of the full course fee should be paid no less than 7 days prior to the commencement date. All fees must be received by the school without deduction, therefore any overseas/UK bank charges should be researched and paid with the transfer ensuring the full payment is received. Students will not be accepted on the commencement date unless full payment of fees is made. No responsibility is taken for students applying and failing to get financial assistance from any aiding company or organisation where partial payments of the full fee including and exceeding a deposit has been received by us. The full fee must still be received by us. Any withdraw will forfeit your deposit. In the event of a student failing to attend the confirmed course or failing to complete the course for any reason, no refunds will be made. A student may not be entitled to a refund if they decide not to finish the course after the final payment has been received. Fees are not refundable if the course is interrupted or cancelled through an act of God or terrorist act.
The school has the right to amend and change the schedule of the course and course dates and notify the students at the earliest opportunity. The student will be required to attend from the first day, and every day of the course unless prior notification is given for holidays or other such reasons. Due to bad weather, transportation issues or any issue deemed to be detrimental to the safe journey of any or all of the attendees of the class, the class will be cancelled and students notified as soon as possible. That day will be added onto the course at the earliest opportunity. It is advised therefore that any overseas returning students have an open ticket or book their return home for a week after the course is due to end. MAKE UP ATELIER will endeavour to assist the student to catch up on unattended lessons but will not be held responsible if they are not fully repeated. Occasionally extra one to one sessions could be arranged after payment of the relevant fees for such one to one sessions. Lessons will be taught within the stated times but may naturally finish early or over run. If a student has satisfactorily completed the day’s assignment, they may be allowed to leave class early or may stay behind to recap on previously learnt material at their discretion.
The School will be closed on all UK public Bank Holidays.
