Terms & Conditions

It is mutually agreed:

1. Course fees and deposits are not refundable other than upon the terms and conditions herein described.

2. Morris Journalism Academy reserves the right to decline this application in which case all monies if deducted, will be immediately refunded.

3. If my application for enrolment in this course is accepted by the Academy, I undertake to make the full payment of course fees as prescribed by the payment option I have selected. I authorise the Academy to reattempt any declined payment periodically.

4. If requesting a payment plan option, I agree that the first instalment is due seven days after the course starting date.

5. I agree to provide the Academy with 2 business days’ notice should you wish to change an upcoming payment schedule date.

6. At the successful conclusion of this course, I will receive The Professional Freelance Journalism Course Certificate of Completion. If selecting a payment plan, I understand my completion documentation will be awarded after the course fees have been paid in their entirety.

7. The course must be completed within a period of 12 months of the commencement date.

8. If in the opinion of the examining board the certificate should be withheld, the course will be extended at no cost for a further period of tuition determined by my tutor.

9. If, after a further period of tuition, the examining board determines that the certificate should be withheld, course fees will be refunded in full.

10. It is agreed that students must complete the course within the specified period and demonstrate a reasonable degree of effort throughout to be eligible for the refund from point (9).

11. To take advantage of the 7-day refund guarantee, the Academy must receive your request to withdraw in email within seven days of the course commencement date. No exceptions.

12. 7-Day refunds must be processed back onto the same card that the original payment was processed from.

13. 7-day refunds (in point 11) are not available after submission of an assignment. Assignment submission is considered as acceptance that you are happy with the course teaching method and material and therefore waives the right to refund.

14. Additional fees will apply to extend the course completion period beyond the 12 months provided.

15. Students may extend for a maximum of two extension periods of six months.

16. Extensions must be applied for within 4 weeks of course completion expiry.

17. As with all adult and continuing education, the onus is on the student to seek assistance as required whilst undertaking the course and it is the student's responsibility to keep track of their course completion/expiry date.

18. Please consider your enrolment with care; refunds of fees are not possible except under the terms and conditions described herein.

It is mutually agreed that the decision of Morris Journalism Academy is final and upon the refund of course fees if any, the Academy has no further liability or obligation.
