Common questions
Before you make a move.
The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.
Does every withdrawal lead to a refund?
No. The terms, timing and circumstances need individual assessment.
Can a school decision and a contract dispute overlap?
Yes. The decision making process and the financial terms can require separate analysis.
