Terms and Conditions

General

IPSA and Member Schools are not liable in any cases of force majeure (according to the law) or for actions of the students and their consequences.

Postponement of Courses, Changes and Last Minute Bookings

1. The office must receive written notification at least 14 days before your course begins in order to transfer the registration to a later course date. Changes made after that time are subject to a $50 fee. The second course of a combined course program may not be cancelled nor is it transferable. It may be possible to change the start date for a $50 fee.
2. For last minute bookings (arrival within 3 weeks) a US$60 supplement will be charged.

Classes

1. If you have registered for a group course of 20 hours per week the school may reduce your class to 15 hours if there are only one or two students at your level. For purposes of policy the course is still considered a group class even though it becomes in actuality a private or semi-private class. Should this occur you would find it to your benefit, as you will be able to participate a great deal more in class and have more personal attention from your teacher. You will cover at least the same amount of material as you would in a full group.
2. Should a national holiday fall on a class day those hours are not recoverable by group students. Private students can reschedule those hours. Courses have set schedules that can be found on the enclosed Schedule & Price sheets; however, the school reserves the right to change the schedule if necessary.

Arrival and Departure Dates

We recommend that you arrive the day prior to the start of your course and leave the day following your last class. However, if necessary we can usually arrange a few extra days with your host family before or after your course.

It is recommended that you have medical insurance to cover you against accident or sickness while in Argentina.
