Billing schedule and payment terms
- Deposit: EUR 2,000 due immediately upon offer acceptance; deposit is credited to the account. Remaining balance due by the published deadlines.
- Normal invoice deadlines: full‑year / fall semester balances are due by July 31; spring semester balances are due by November 30. The remaining balance must be paid by these deadlines even if a visa has not yet been issued. Banking details and the full range of accepted payment methods appear on the student invoice. Failure to meet payment deadlines may lead to dismissal and repatriation.

Refunds, cancellations and withdrawal rules
- Visa refusal: tuition is refunded in the event a student is unable to obtain a visa, less the one‑off application fee retained (example retained application fee shown as EUR 250).
- Cancellation for reasons other than visa refusal: a partial refund is possible if cancellation occurs before the invoice deadlines (examples published show a refund of EUR 1,000 if cancelled before July 31 for the fall/full year or before November 30 for spring), with no refunds issued after the stated deadlines.
- Withdrawal after arrival / after a semester has started: no refund is issued for a semester that has already begun. Dismissal for disciplinary or legal reasons normally results in no refund of program fees. These cancellation and refund rules are set out in the programme/contract documents.

Fee payment options
- Accepted methods commonly include bank (wire) transfer to the billing account indicated on the invoice, French cheque and cash where appropriate. Specific available payment methods for each invoice (including whether credit card payment is accepted) are listed on the invoice and in the student invoice/payment instructions. Payments for tuition and accommodation are processed to the programme billing entity identified on the invoice (Nacel France in the programme contract).

Administrative / contract notes relevant to fees
- The admissions process issues an admission letter and a fee invoice; the deposit secures placement and is credited toward the first billed amount. The programme contract (Nacel France / school programme agreement) contains the detailed payment, cancellation and disciplinary clauses that govern refunds, repatriation and fee forfeiture. Any additional charges (damages, AP exam fees, private lessons, replacement textbooks, transfers beyond the first arrival) are billed to the student account.
