Upon receiving your admission results, you have one week to confirm your enrollment by paying a €500 deposit. This reserves your spot in the desired program until 15 days before the start of classes. Failure to pay the enrollment deposit will result in your place not being guaranteed.
Payment terms for tuition fees are determined by the type of program you pursue: work-study or full-time.

One or more organizations (OPCO, CPF, company) will cover the total cost of the training the student is undertaking.

2. How to Pay Your Annual Tuition Fees

Deposit payment methods are similar to the first payment option presented below..

2.1 - CHOSEN PAYMENT METHOD: 1st Option (for students choosing the full-time program)

Payment Deadline: It is understood that this option constitutes a lump-sum, upfront payment of the annual tuition fees. The annual tuition fees, minus the enrollment deposit, must be paid in one final payment 15 days before the first day of classes. This ensures the student is definitively enrolled and eligible for the program outlined in this enrollment file.

Payment Method:

• Bank Transfer: Remember to include the student's full name in the transfer description. Bank details: IBAN: FR76 3000 4025 8600 0105 4579 796 - BIC: BNPAFRPPXXX
• Check Payment: If paying by bank or postal check, please make the check payable to ALTERNIS BUSINESS SCHOOL. Remember to write the enrolled student's full name and class on the back of the check.
• Cash Payment: Payment can be made in person at the school. Cash payments must comply with current regulations and not exceed €1,000 for a tax resident in France and €15,000 for a tax resident abroad.

Failure to make full payment within the specified deadline will result in the student being charged the additional tuition fees of the 2nd payment option (€300), without being granted the associated payment deadlines. After two unsuccessful reminders, a formal notice will be sent by ALTERNIS BUSINESS SCHOOL to the student. If this formal notice remains unsuccessful within fifteen working days from the date of the first presentation, ALTERNIS BUSINESS SCHOOL reserves the right to suspend the student's access to the program and facilities until full payment of all sums (principal and ancillary) claimed. Finally, ALTERNIS BUSINESS SCHOOL reserves the right to use all legal remedies at its disposal to recover all sums due, as well as damages as provided for in Article 700 of the Civil Code.

2.2 - CHOSEN PAYMENT METHOD: 2nd Option (for students choosing the full-time program)

Payment Deadline: It is understood that this option constitutes installment payments for the annual tuition fees. The annual tuition fees, minus the enrollment deposit, are to be paid according to the deadlines defined in Article
1 - Tuition Fees of this file.

Payment Method: :

• Bank Transfer: Remember to include the student's full name in the transfer description. Bank details: IBAN: FR76 3000 4025 8600 0105 4579 796 - BIC: BNPAFRPPXXX

3. Bank Loans

Students choosing to pursue their studies full-time may be eligible for student loans at preferential rates granted by banks to business school students. Loan acceptance is the responsibility of the bank. You may contact the banks and organizations of your choice.

4. Termination

The annual tuition fee is a flat rate based on the institution's overhead costs relative to the number of available places. A student's absence does not reduce these overheads; therefore, no refund, reduction, or deferral of tuition fees will be granted in cases of absence, voluntary withdrawal, or temporary or permanent exclusion from the institution. Consequently, the following provisions are mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Any request for termination and refund must be made in writing by registered letter (or tracked letter for international mail) with acknowledgment of receipt only.

4.1 - Contract Termination by the Student or Their Legal Representative

• Termination Conditions Before the Start of Classes
  - Termination notified at least one month before the start of classes: All sums received will be fully refunded.
  - Termination notified less than one month before the start of classes: The enrollment deposit (€500) will be retained by the institution.
• Termination Conditions After the Start of Classes
  - After definitive enrollment, if the student has begun attending classes, no refund of the remaining tuition fees can be made, except in cases of force majeure, or a legitimate and compelling reason as expressly described below.

Force Majeure
Cases of force majeure are considered to be: serious illness certified by a doctor, the death of a close relative (parent, sibling, child attested by an official document), or an accident resulting in serious injuries attested by an official document. In cases of force majeure as indicated above, a 50% refund may be considered subject to the presentation of supporting documents and acceptance of the request by the institution.

Legitimate and Compelling Reason
A legitimate and compelling reason is considered to be a substantial involuntary change in financial resources leading to a lack of income, for example, due to a consecutive loss of employment of both parents or legal representatives.

Special Provision
In case of visa refusal (for foreign students) or failure of an exam required for admission to our institution, enrollment will be terminated without charge, provided the institution is informed within 8 days of receiving the visa refusal or exam results. Notification must be by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt (or tracked letter for international mail), accompanied by official proof.

• Termination Conditions for Non-Performance of Contract by the Institution

Institution Closure: When the institution is unable to provide its services due to reasons of force majeure (closure of the institution for the current year, particularly in case of fire or natural disaster), in case of suspension of classes for several consecutive weeks without recovery offered by the institution, and in case of cancellation of the program due to insufficient enrollment, the contract may be terminated by the student. The student may then claim reimbursement of sums paid corresponding to services not delivered and payment of compensation calculated pro rata temporis to the interruption of the service, based on the annual tuition fees.
Partial or total interruptions of classes that lead to make-up sessions are not subject to these provisions.

4.2 - Contract Termination at the Institution's Initiative

- Student's or Legal Representative's Non-Fulfillment of Obligations: In the event that the student or their legal representative fails to fulfill their obligations, this contract will be terminated automatically by operation of law.

- Default of Payment: In the event of default of payment, and fifteen days after an unsuccessful formal notice, the institution shall have the right to terminate this contract automatically by operation of law.

- Partial or Definitive Interruption of Studies: Any absence of the student for more than six consecutive weeks not excused by an official document may be considered by the institution as a definitive termination of enrollment.

- Non-Compliance with Internal Regulations: Non-compliance with the institution's internal regulations, a copy of which is provided to the student at the beginning of the academic year, may lead to sanctions up to and including expulsion.

In these cases of termination, the balance of the tuition fees remains due to the school and becomes immediately payable.
