Policy for Cancellation or Change of Enrolment
Upon enrolling in a course with any school, a student is entering a legal agreement under common law, in which they agree to abide by the conditions of enrolment (including meeting stated payments), in exchange for the service offered by the institution in the delivery of the course.
Please note, ACS can not be held liable for changes in your circumstances.
In a situation where a student wishes to cancel or change their enrolment, and as a measure of goodwill, ACS Distance Education will allow the following options. A student may only take up one of these options once.
Please read the following options and apply in writing to Student Services.
Cancellation Policy
Students wishing to cancel their enrolment must submit notification of withdrawal in writing within 14 days of the confirmation of enrolment. In order to apply for a cancellation, the Student must complete the course change form available on the ACS website, or email studentservices@acsedu.com.
It is recommended students contact ACS within 24 hours of submitting a cancellation request to confirm receipt. ACS accepts no responsibility for and will not be liable for non-receipt of messages or transmissions.
Refund Policy
