If a student wishes to change courses they should contact Swindon College to discuss their options. If a student withdraws from a course more that 10 working days before the start date and within 14 days of enrolment and cannot find a suitable alternative course, the student will be entitled to a refund. However, a £25 fee will be retained to cover administration costs. If a student withdraws from the course less than 10 working days before the start date or does not attend the course, there will be no refund of payments made including tuition, materials, registration and exam fees unless the student has withdrawn due to a serious medical condition (a medical certificate will be required).
