Payment Terms

• Full Payment Requirement

IBAT Dublin does not offer payment plans or instalment arrangements.

All applicable programme tuition fees must be paid in full prior to commencement. Unless otherwise expressly confirmed in writing by IBAT Dublin, full payment must be received no later than 30 days prior to the confirmed course start date. Where an applicant is accepted within 30 days of the course start date, full payment will be required immediately or by the specific payment deadline communicated by IBAT Dublin.

A payment is considered received only when the funds have cleared and are confirmed as received by IBAT Dublin. Initiating a bank transfer or providing proof that a transfer has been made does not constitute receipt of payment. Where additional mandatory charges apply, including medical insurance, learner protection, registration, examination or materials fees, these will be communicated to the applicant and must be paid in accordance with the applicable deadline.

• Securing a Place

Full payment is required to secure a place, subject to the student satisfying all applicable admissions, visa, travel, registration and commencement requirements within the deadlines communicated by IBAT Dublin.

Payment alone does not provide an unconditional guarantee of enrolment or commencement. An application, Conditional Offer, Unconditional Offer, invoice, Acceptance Letter, deposit or part-payment does not, by itself, secure or guarantee a place. A part-payment does not constitute an agreement by IBAT Dublin to accept the remaining balance through instalments. Places are subject to availability and may be allocated on a first-paid, first-secured basis, subject to all other applicable enrolment requirements being satisfied.

Where full payment or any other applicable enrolment requirement is not completed by the relevant deadline, IBAT College Dublin reserves the right to release the place and offer it to another applicant.

• No Payment Plans or Instalments

IBAT Dublin does not offer payment plans or instalment arrangements for tuition fees. Students cannot commence a programme while continuing to pay an outstanding tuition balance.

All required tuition fees must be paid in full prior to commencement and no later than the applicable payment deadline. Students with an outstanding tuition balance may not be permitted to register, commence classes or access their programme. Payment of part of the tuition fee does not secure an instalment arrangement and does not entitle a student to commence their programme.

• English Language Courses – €350 Deposit

For English Language courses only, IBAT Dublin may accept an initial €350 deposit at the booking stage.

The €350 deposit:

• applies to English Language courses only;
• does not constitute full payment;
• is not a payment plan or instalment arrangement; and
• does not permit the remaining balance to be paid after the course has commenced.

The remaining balance must be paid in full no later than 30 days prior to the confirmed course start date, or by any earlier payment deadline communicated by IBAT Dublin. Where an English Language booking is made within 30 days of the proposed course start date, full payment may be required immediately.

For visa-required English Language students, payment of the deposit or full tuition fee does not remove the requirement to satisfy the applicable visa, travel, arrival and registration requirements. The cancellation and refund treatment of the €350 deposit and any other amounts paid is governed by the applicable IBAT Dublin Refund Policy.

• Overseas & Visa-Required Students

Overseas and visa-required students are subject to additional requirements.

Full payment is required to secure a place, subject to the student satisfying all applicable admissions, visa, travel, registration and commencement requirements within the deadlines communicated by IBAT Dublin.

Payment of tuition fees alone does not complete the enrolment process or guarantee that a student will be permitted to commence their programme. Visa-required students must provide IBAT Dublin with all required documentation and information by the deadlines communicated by the College, including:

• a copy of their approved Irish student visa once issued;
• a confirmed/booked flight itinerary;
• their intended date of arrival in Ireland; and
• any additional immigration, travel, accommodation, contact or enrolment information requested by IBAT College Dublin.

The confirmed flight itinerary must demonstrate that the student will arrive in Ireland in sufficient time to complete registration and commence classes by the required date.

Failure to provide visa approval, confirmed flight information or any other required documentation by the applicable deadline may result in the student’s place being released or the student being required to move to a later available intake, where permitted and subject to programme availability and the applicable deferral terms.

Students remain responsible for ensuring they satisfy all applicable Irish immigration requirements. Payment of tuition fees, an offer of admission or the issue of an Acceptance Letter by IBAT Dublin does not guarantee that an Irish visa or immigration permission will be granted.

• Visa Delays & Late Arrival

IBAT Dublin is not obliged to hold a place indefinitely where a visa decision is delayed. Students must keep IBAT Dublin informed of the progress of their visa application and provide any visa status information or supporting evidence requested by the College.

Visa approval does not automatically entitle a student to arrive or commence their programme after the required commencement date. Any late arrival or late commencement must be expressly approved in writing by an authorised IBAT Dublin representative.

Where a late-arrival exception is granted, the student must comply with all final deadlines specified by IBAT Dublin, including any:

• visa issuance deadline;
• flight confirmation deadline;
• arrival deadline;
• registration deadline; and
• final date for attendance in class.

Failure to meet any approved final deadline may result in the student being unable to join that intake.

Where appropriate, the student may be considered for a later available intake, subject to the College’s deferral terms, programme availability and written approval.

• Scholarships, Discounts & Promotional Fees

Where IBAT Dublin offers a scholarship, early-payment discount or promotional tuition fee, the full amount specified must be received and confirmed by IBAT Dublin by the stated deadline.

A deposit, part-payment or payment initiated before the deadline does not secure the scholarship, discount or promotional rate, unless expressly confirmed otherwise in writing by IBAT Dublin.

Where full payment is not received by the applicable deadline, the applicant will no longer qualify for the relevant scholarship, discount or promotional rate and the standard applicable tuition fee will apply.

All scholarships and promotional offers are subject to their specific eligibility criteria, availability, payment deadlines and terms. Payment of a scholarship or promotional fee remains subject to the student satisfying all other applicable admissions, visa, travel, registration and commencement requirements.

• Payment Deadlines

Unless otherwise stated, full payment must be received no later than 30 days prior to the confirmed programme start date.

IBAT Dublin may specify an earlier or different deadline for a particular:

• programme;
• intake;
• applicant category;
• scholarship or promotion; or
• individual application.

Where a specific payment deadline is stated in an offer, invoice or formal written communication from IBAT Dublin, that deadline will apply.

Where an applicant receives an offer within 30 days of commencement, IBAT Dublin may require immediate full payment.

No applicant should assume that a payment deadline has been extended unless an extension has been expressly confirmed in writing by an authorised IBAT Dublin representative.

• Deferrals

Payment of programme fees does not create an automatic right or entitlement to defer to another intake.

Any request for a deferral is subject to:

• the applicable IBAT Dublin deferral terms;
• approval by IBAT Dublin;
• programme and intake availability;
• academic/admissions requirements; and
• any applicable visa or immigration considerations.

Where a deferral is approved, this does not automatically guarantee a place on the requested future intake.

The student must comply with any revised payment, visa, travel, registration and commencement requirements communicated by IBAT Dublin. Where fees or other mandatory charges change between intakes, the student may be required to pay any applicable difference.

A student should not consider a deferral approved until it has been formally confirmed in writing by IBAT Dublin.

• Course Capacity & Availability

All IBAT Dublin programmes and intakes are subject to availability and capacity.

IBAT Dublin reserves the right to close an intake to further enrolments once capacity has been reached.

An application, offer, invoice or part-payment does not entitle an applicant to hold a place indefinitely while payment, visa documentation, travel information or other enrolment requirements remain outstanding.

Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to satisfy all requirements within the deadlines communicated by IBAT Dublin.

Where an applicant does not satisfy the applicable requirements by the deadline, the College may release the place to another applicant.

• Offers, Acceptance Letters & Enrolment Documentation

The issue of a Conditional Offer, Unconditional Offer, invoice, Acceptance Letter or other admissions documentation does not override the payment, visa, travel, registration or commencement conditions applicable to the student.

Such documentation should not be interpreted as guaranteeing that IBAT Dublin will hold a place indefinitely.

Students remain responsible for satisfying all outstanding conditions and deadlines communicated by the College.

Where circumstances change, including a missed payment, visa, travel, arrival or registration deadline, IBAT Dublin may review the student’s eligibility to commence the relevant intake.

• Visa Refusal, Cancellation & Refunds

These payment requirements should be read in conjunction with the applicable IBAT Dublin Refund Policy.

Where a visa is refused, a student wishes to cancel, or IBAT Dublin is unable to deliver the relevant programme, any refund entitlement will be assessed in accordance with the applicable Refund Policy and supporting documentation requirements.

Submission of a refund request does not automatically guarantee approval.

Where a refund is approved, it will be processed in accordance with the applicable Refund Policy and, where applicable, returned to the original payer and/or original payment method.

Any applicable administration fee or other permitted deduction will be applied in accordance with the relevant Refund Policy.

• Payments Through Agents or Third Parties

Where payment is made by an education agent, sponsor, family member or another third party on behalf of a student, the student remains responsible for ensuring the required funds are received by IBAT Dublin by the applicable deadline.

Payment to an agent or other third party does not constitute payment to IBAT Dublin.

IBAT Dublin will consider payment received only when the relevant funds have been received, cleared and confirmed by the College.

IBAT Dublin is not responsible for delays between a student making payment to a third party and the funds subsequently being transferred to the College.

• Written Exceptions & Extensions

Any exception to these terms, including:

• payment deadline extensions;
• visa deadline extensions;
• late arrival;
• late commencement;
• deferral arrangements; or
• any other exceptional arrangement,

must be expressly confirmed in writing by an authorised IBAT Dublin representative.

Verbal discussions, assumptions, requests for an exception or information provided by an agent or other third party do not constitute approval.

An exception granted to one student or in one particular circumstance does not establish a precedent or entitlement for another student, programme or intake.

Where an exceptional deadline is described by IBAT Dublin as final, no further extension should be assumed or expected.

• General Payment & Enrolment Principle

The following principle applies across IBAT Dublin programmes:

Full payment is required to secure a place, subject to the student satisfying all applicable admissions, visa, travel, registration and commencement requirements within the deadlines communicated by IBAT Dublin.

For English Language courses only, a €350 initial deposit may be accepted at the booking stage. The remaining balance remains payable in full within the applicable timeframe.

IBAT Dublin does not offer payment plans or instalment arrangements, and students cannot commence a programme with an outstanding tuition balance.

Students are responsible for reading and understanding the financial, admissions, refund, visa and enrolment conditions applicable to their programme.

IBAT Dublin reserves the right to review and amend tuition fees, payment deadlines and associated terms in accordance with applicable requirements.

Where programme-specific conditions or deadlines are communicated in an applicant’s offer, invoice or other formal IBAT correspondence, those specific requirements will apply.

English Courses

• IBAT Dublin offers English in two campuses (16-19 Wellington Quay, Temple Bar and 24-27 Frederick Street North, Dublin 1) and the level and campus allocation is exclusively decided by the English language academic team upon completion of the placement test.
• In the case of a student applying for an English programme and making a payment for a TIE or IELTS exam, students cannot switch to another exam at a later stage; this is due to GNIB registration requirements that a terminal examination is booked at registration.
