The deposit is payable on Invoice, i.e. once a course is purchased from UNi4 either through a Student Advisor or directly from the online shophttps://bit.ly/2OfQGL6. The deposit is forfeited if the customer reneges on the purchase if the cohort is reached. If the cohort is not reached prior or on the indicated commencement date (as per the online ticker) the deposit is refundable. Full course payment is made on University acceptance, prior to Registration.
