Occasional study fees

A COURSE UNIT is the building block of a diploma or degree. It is the distance learning equivalent of a class. Most units are worth 3 credits - some longer ones are worth more.

The COURSE UNIT LISTINGS are arranged in categories. However for most programmes of study you can take units from more than one category.

More course units are being made available all the time, and new ones (subject to approval) can be created specially for students' needs. They will then be available to other students.

This certificate has the same function as the Certificate of Completion, but is for professionals who wish to display a more formal certificate as an indication of further professional studies.  This certificate is a UK award. It is printed on parchment-style paper with a coloured embossed College seal. Anyone wishing to use the knowledge gained in connection with their profession or occupation may choose the Certificate of Professional Development award.  

¨ The Calamus International University Certificate of Professional Development (Type D) 

This certificate has the same function as the CIU Certificate of Occasional Study, but is for professionals who wish to display a more formal certificate as an indication of further professional studies.  It is printed on parchment-style paper with a coloured  embossed  University seal.  This is not a UK award. Anyone wishing to use the knowledge gained in connection with their profession or occupation may choose the Certificate of Professional Development award.  

Payment of fees

Please see the Occasional Study Scheme brochure or the fee table on page 3 of this form for the correct amount to pay. If you wish to pay by PayPal (using a credit card), we will send you a payment request by email when we get this form.  If you are in the UK, you may send a cheque together with this form. Cheques should be paid to “Calamus Extension College Ltd.” and sent to our London address.

Please read the information below, then sign and return the form to us by email, fax or post.

 

REFUND POLICY  In compliance with the EU Distance Selling Directive and Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. This law and the rights detailed below apply to all transactions within the UK for customers in the UK and the EU, where the customer does not meet the seller in person. Sales from one business to another are not controlled by these regulations. If you are a self-employed professional, and you have enrolled on one of our courses for professional development purposes, we interpret that to be a business-to-business transaction.

 

The law allows you a 7-day "cooling off" period. During that time you have the right to cancel your contract and to obtain a full refund.  The 7 days will begin from the time you receive our confirmation of your enrolment. During that time you may cancel without a reason. Let us know by the quickest means: email, fax, telephone (we will return the call if you reach our voicemail and leave your number - but landlines only please, no mobiles.)  Please also confirm your request by letter sent by regular mail to our office address. If you claim a refund within the 7-day "cooling off" period we will let you have that refund within 30 days.

 

However, the regulations allow that if the order is for specially personalised items, the right to cancel a purchase does not apply. If, for example, we have arranged an award comprising a personalised certificate, or you are ordering a personalised product available to alumni, the "cooling off" period will not apply.

 

After the "cooling off" period, there is no obligation for us to make any refund.  Our services (provision of course materials and tutorial support) will be available for you during your registration period and for any longer period that we have agreed. If you do not exercise your right to avail yourself of those services, then that does not entitle you to a refund. If you need to suspend your studies for any reason, it is your responsibility to let us know as soon as possible, and we will give you any appropriate advice.

If you are outside the UK or EU there is no legal obligation for us to make any refund. Please ensure you are committed to the course before you enrol.
