The tuition fee can be refunded if a student is prevented from commencing studies, for example if a student is not granted a residence permit.
The day before the roll call is the last day to apply for a refund. You must submit your request by 23:59 CET the day before the roll call. Any requests for a refund received on or after the day of the roll call will most likely be rejected.
To receive a refund you must submit:
- documentation to prove that your application for a residence permit was rejected, or that you have withdrawn your application for a residence permit
- a copy of your passport
- a recent bank statement or account holder certificate
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
The tuition fee status of a new student is determined during the application process based on the submitted documents. If you have been assessed and do not agree with the decision you can apply for your status to change.
