Billing and cancellation

This page gives details of the way in which the accounts of sending institutions will be handled, and of the APTS cancellation policy.

Billing

APTS will maintain an account for each sending institution. Charges made against this account will be:

  • registration fee for all students
  • cost of the specified accommodation and food requirements

For students who participate in all four APTS weeks in the same academic year, 20% of registration fees will be rebated.

Invoices will be issued to sending institutions at the end of each APTS week, for the amounts relating to participation in that APTS week. Registration rebates for students attending all four weeks are made on the invoice for APTS week 4.

Cancellation policy

A statement of this policy will appear also on the form that is signed by sending institutions, to confirm their accepted registrations for APTS, immediately after the closing date for registering students.

  1. Registration fees are payable for all students accepted for an APTS week, and are not normally refunded in the event of cancellation.
  2. In the event of cancellation of a student's participation in an APTS week, the charges made for accommodation and food will be reduced by
    • 100% if the cancellation is received before noon of the Monday six weeks prior to the Monday of APTS week
    • 50% if the cancellation is received after that but before noon of the Monday four weeks prior to the Monday of APTS week.
    (For an APTS week starting on Tuesday or Wednesday, "the Monday of APTS week" means the preceding Monday.) After four weeks prior to an APTS week, charges relating to that APTS week are not normally refunded.
Notice of any cancellation should be sent (by the APTS Academic Contact for the student's home department, NOT by the student concerned) by email to admin at apts dot ac dot uk.
