Terms and conditions for our courses

2.3 Programme fees are as per our website and are subject to change.

2.4 Please note all event and workshop fees are exclusive of VAT.

3. Cancellation and Rescheduling of Programmes

3.1 Our programmes are designed so that participants can learn from one another as well as benefit from Faculty input, and therefore each programme will have a minimum cohort number to achieve this. When it is anticipated that we will not achieve these minimum numbers, programmes will be rescheduled or, if necessary, cancelled. In such cases, we will advise you as soon as practicable and offer alternative programme dates where possible.

3.2 Where a course is cancelled and not rescheduled by Diversitas, a full refund will be given to you.

3.3 If you voluntarily withdraw from the programme before completion and you are permitted to restart the programme at a later date, you will be asked to submit a new application form and pay any fee increases as appropriate.

3.3 Please refer to our Refund Policy (below) for cancellation initiated by yourself.

4. Non-attendance of workshops

4.1 If you are unable to attend a session during the course, please note that no refund will be offered to you. For unavoidable reasons of cancellation, such as illness, we will try to put you on the same workshop with the next cohort, subject to availability, or there may be an option to catch up one to one with your tutor <is this something you want to offer?>  Should you find yourself in these circumstances, please contact a member of the Diversitas team as soon as possible so arrangements can be made. There will be an additional administration fee payable of $100+VAT to cover our costs and, if you choose to have a one to one catch up, there will be a fee payable of $750+VAT per day for this.
