Reasons for granting a tuition fee refund include:
* students who have paid the tuition fee but are denied a residence permit in Sweden. They must submit the decision from the Migration Agency or proof of a withdrawn residence permit application before the roll call of the programme. Refunds are not guaranteed after the roll call.
* students who are not permitted to continue the program in the following semester due to failing to meet progression requirements (i.e., not passing certain courses in the previous semester).
Please note that only a partial refund may be granted, as certain fees related to processing are non-refundable (SEK 5000).
If a student withdraws from their studies after the roll call, the tuition fee for the current semester is non-refundable.
Tuition fees already paid will not be refunded in the event of an approved leave of absence. The student may still be allowed to register for the courses at a later date.
Students who received an exemption from attending the mandatory roll call will not receive a refund.
How to apply for a refund
In order to be considered for a refund, please submit a digital refund request. Before you can access the form you will be asked to register an account, i.e. register your First name, Surname and Email under “Registration”. You will then receive an email with an activation link to set a password.
Submitting a refund application means you are declining your offered place and you will not get a residence permit based on studies at LiU.
Normally, the refund decision will be made within 30 days of the form being submitted. Further handling time by the banks may apply, depending on which country the money is sent to. Bank transfers can take a long time, up to 4 months.
Change of tuition fee status
When a decision is made regarding fee status, it applies to courses that begin on or after the decision date.
