Kaplan Law School Limited - registered office: 4th Floor, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London SW1W 0AU, registered in England No. 5891945 ("Kaplan Law School").

Fees

1. To book a place on a course a completed enrolment form or acceptance form (as applicable) must be accompanied by payment in full of fees or a minimum deposit (where applicable) and (where applicable) a completed employer/sponsor authorisation and a direct debit mandate.  Deposits are non-refundable (except as specified in paragraphs 6 and 26 below) and non-transferable.  Full course fees are payable by the date specified in the student’s conditions of offer (unless Kaplan Law School has offered instalment payment terms which have been validly accepted and any applicable direct debit mandate is in place).

2. Fees and other amounts payable are published separately for each year and the most recently published pricing is payable by students studying at the relevant time.  Paying a deposit does not prevent any increase being applied.  Also, if any deferral is made (see paragraphs 5 and 25 below), then the pricing in force at the time of study applies.

3. Payment of any fees or other amounts then due and payable is required prior to release of online user ids and passwords.  Kaplan Law School reserves the right to suspend any student’s online user id and password and/or to exclude the relevant student from study if at any time the student has not paid in full any fees or other amounts then due and payable.

4. Kaplan Law School reserves the right to dismiss any student at any time for non payment of fees or other amounts due, failure to meet the ongoing attendance requirements or late commencement of study.  No refund will be made to any student dismissed under this paragraph.

5. Students who have validly booked a place on a course (other than visa students (see paragraph 25 below)) can defer enrolment for one sitting, provided Kaplan Law School receives written notice the appropriate period prior to the original course commencement date as specified in the student’s conditions of offer.  No refunds will be made and amounts paid for courses (less any administration charges) will be carried forward accordingly.

6. Subject to paragraph 26 regarding visa students, course cancellation requires that written notification be received by Kaplan Law School by the date specified in the student’s conditions of offer or, where the student has deferred as provided in paragraph 5 above, the corresponding date appearing in student conditions of offer for the year to which the deferral is made as notified to such deferring student.  Full course fees will be payable immediately if less than such appropriate period of notice is given and no refund will be made in such circumstances.  Refunds are not available of any amounts paid for study materials where the materials have been supplied to the student.  Any refund made by Kaplan Law School will be paid to the original payor.

7. Dishonoured cheques will result in a charge by Kaplan Law School of £25 (inc. VAT) to cover administration and bank charges, as well as the risk of admission to/continuation of study being refused.

8. All amounts quoted include VAT (unless otherwise stated).

9. Kaplan Law School and Kaplan Publishing Limited reserve the right to charge interest at 10 per cent. per annum on overdue amounts.

10. All fees exclude amounts payable to the professional bodies for student registration, exemptions and examination entries, which are (except as otherwise stated) payable by the student and Kaplan Law School accepts no responsibility for these.

11. Any internally assessed examination and computer based examination fees are payable by the student and are non-refundable and non-transferable.  Any such fees include disbursements payable to the relevant examining body and a handling fee charged by Kaplan Law School.

12. All deposits received are for the sole purpose of reserving a course place or as stated on the relevant enrolment form

13. Any fees paid to attend Kaplan Law School’s Summer School are non-refundable in all circumstances and non-transferable and the provisions of paragraphs 5, 6, 25 and 26 do not apply to such course.

14. Funds received but not utilised, deferred or refunded in accordance with these Terms and Conditions will be forfeited to Kaplan Law School.

15. Dishonoured cheques will result in a charge by Kaplan Law School of £25 (inc. VAT) to cover administration and bank charges, as well as the risk of admission to/continuation of study being refused.

Courses

16. Courses are not transferable between students.

17. All courses are non-residential unless specified otherwise. Kaplan Law School will, if requested, assist by providing a contact list of suitable areas for renting for non-residential courses but it is students’ responsibility to make their own accommodation arrangements.

18. Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in the manner which demonstrates respect for Kaplan Law School and its staff, fellow students and property.  Breaches of the student codes of conduct can amount to gross misconduct, which may lead to expulsion from study.

19. Kaplan Law School reserves the right to alter published courses or programmes, tutors or speakers, dates or locations and/or to cancel or change lectures at its discretion.

20. Liability of Kaplan Law School and Kaplan Publishing Limited for losses arising from their negligence (except in the case of liability for death or personal injury), breach of contract or otherwise will be limited to the full amounts paid by the relevant student for the particular courses and/or study materials and such companies will have no liability for indirect or consequential loss or damage.

21. Student's arrangements with Kaplan Law School and Kaplan Publishing Limited are governed by English law.

Study Materials

21. All study materials are (where stated) supplied by Kaplan Publishing Limited (Registered office: 4th Floor, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London SW1W 0AU, Registered in England No. 5728180).

22. Where study materials are supplied in conjunction with a course, they are included in the fees quoted (unless stated otherwise) and Kaplan Law School acts as agent for Kaplan Publishing Limited in collecting amounts payable to such company.

23. Any queries regarding any such study materials should (unless otherwise stated) be addressed to Kaplan Law School on behalf of Kaplan Publishing Limited.

Visa Students

24. Students who require a student visa to enable them to study with Kaplan Law School are responsible for obtaining the necessary visa and for ensuring that their attendance is satisfactory to meet their visa requirements.

25. Once visa support letters have been issued by Kaplan Law School confirming a student’s study status no refund or course deferral/cancellation will be permissible with respect to the relevant student other than in the instance of visa refusal.  A deferral of enrolment for one sitting may be allowed at Kaplan Law School’s sole discretion for students who are still overseas awaiting their student visa prior to the initial published course commencement date.  A maximum of one such deferral may in Kaplan Law School’s sole discretion be allowed, after which any deposit or other amount paid will be forfeited to Kaplan Law School.  Kaplan Law School will refuse deferrals for visa students where it has reason to believe students have entered the UK on the basis of Kaplan Law School’s visa support letters and are not studying as necessary with Kaplan Law School (given the visa study attendance requirements), after which any deposit or other amount paid will be forfeited to Kaplan Law School.

26. If a student visa application has been refused, then the amounts paid by the relevant student will be refunded, less an administration charge by Kaplan Law School of £100 (inc. VAT) (plus any courier and transfer charges) on production of the following documents:

    1. a copy of the visa refusal letter (APP 200)

    2. a copy of the student’s passport showing both the photograph and signature

    3. where the payor was not the student, an original authority letter from the student authorising the repayment to the payor.

    Refunds will only be made under this paragraph if requested in writing with the necessary supporting documents within four weeks after the published course commencement date of the initial course (i.e. not any deferred course commencement date applying under paragraph 24).

27. The Home Office specifies attendance requirements for study and visa renewal.  Visa students are responsible for signing the attendance register/swiping their student id cards during each class in order to provide acceptable evidence of attendance to the Home Office.

28. Kaplan Law School reserves the right to inform the appropriate authorities (including the Home Office) where a visa student has been removed from study with Kaplan Law School or is failing to meet ongoing attendance requirements.

Employers and Sponsors

29. The signature of an employer or sponsor on a student’s application form, instalment payment plan or other applicable documentation binds that employer or sponsor as a primary obligor with full obligations to pay to Kaplan Law School on a timely basis any amounts becoming due and payable to Kaplan Law School by the relevant student and binds such employer or sponsor to these Terms and Conditions.
