Payment

Payment of the $US 100 registration fee is required before any booking can be confirmed (New York: by law, if the total tuition is less than $1,000, then the application fee can only be 10% of total tuition). LSI accepts payment for the registration fee by credit cards.

You will then receive a confirmation of registration from LSI as well as an invoice. In order for LSI to issue an I-20 form (needed to apply for a student visa), you must send your full payment for tuition fees by international money order or wire transfer.

If you are already in the United States, we also accept payments by cash, check or traveler's check.

Refund Provisions  > PDF version

For Registration and Tuition fees received by LSI: 

TUITION
A non-refundable registration fee of $US 100 will apply to all bookings to LSI.  At LSI New York: by law, if the total tuition is less than $1,000, then the application fee can only be 10% of total tuition.
The first session of study is equal to the total number of clocks hours indicated on the enrollment agreement.

Before course begins
Up to seven (7) days before the first day of a course, tuition fees, less the Registration Fee, can be refunded if LSI receives notification of withdrawal. If withdrawal occurs seven (7) days or less before the start of the course, $250 of tuition fees is non-refundable. Limit of one (1) change per course.
Circumstance Amount of Refund
Student does not receive authorization from US Immigration before the course begins and provides written notification to LSI; the I-20 form will be cancelled. 100% of tuition fees paid
Student withdraws more than seven (7) days before the start of the course and provides written notice of withdrawal, or never attends the institution. ** 100% of tuition fees paid
** If student received DHS Form I-20 from LSI uses this I-20 to enter the USA or if student withdraws seven (7) days or less before the start of the course, $250 of tuition fees will be non-refundable; the I-20 form will be cancelled. 100% of tuition fees paid less a $250 cancellation fee
 
After course begins
Student withdraws*** from a course of four weeks or less No refund
Student withdraws*** from a course greater than four weeks within the first fifty (50) percent of the course's duration and provides written notice of withdrawal before the scheduled end date of the course.

*** Withdrawal refers to the day student last attends classes
The first four weeks of the course are non-refundable.  Additional weeks will be refunded on a prorated basis, and are calculated from the last recorded day of attendance (any part of a week attended is considered a full week for refund calculations).  For ISY courses, the refund is calculated based on the appropriate Standard 20 or Intensive 30 price.
Student withdraws from a course greater than four weeks after fifty (50) percent of the course has been completed. No refund
Student changes from an Intensive 30 to Standard 20 course at any time after course has begun No refund
N.B For students whose tuition is paid on their behalf by a third party or agent, all refunds will be paid to the third party or agent who made the original payment. See third party or agent regarding refund.
Refund Example: A student enrolls in a 12-week Intensive-30 course and pays a $100 application fee and $3170 tuition.  The student withdraws*** after completing 3 weeks of the course (90 clock hours) and provides written notice of withdrawal.  The pro-rata refund would be calculated as follows:
$3270 - $100 = $3170 - $1170 (first 4 weeks = non-refundable) = $2000 refund

All refunds due will be made within 30 days following the date upon which the student's cancellation or withdrawal*** has been determined.  Cancellation or withdrawal*** shall occur when you give written notice at the address of the school shown on the front page of the agreement.

HOUSING CANCELLATION
If you cancel your Host Family accommodation seven (7) days or less before arrival, one week of accommodation fees will be non-refundable. After arrival,LSI requires 4-weeks written notice of cancellation. If you leave the homestay before the 4 weeks is up, you will be subject to a cancellation penalty equal to the amount of the first 4 weeks in the accommodation, or if less than 4 weeks remain, minus the amount remaining. If you cancel other accommodation (Residence Hall, etc.) that was arranged by LSI, you may be subject to the cancellation penalty of the Residence Hall, etc. 

U.S. IMMIGRATION and CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT/DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY re CHANGE OF STATUS  
Students are required by law to attend the school that issued the I-20 as stated on their F-1 visa in their passports. Should you decide to withdraw*** from or cancel your course before the completion date of the course or courses in which you are enrolled, it is our duty to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immediately, in accordance with ICE regulations, that you are no longer pursuing a full time course of study.  As such, you will no longer be a bona fide F-1 non-immigrant visitor, and your I-20 will be cancelled. You will be considered out of status by ICE. Questions regarding non-immigrant alien status may be directed to the consulate of your country and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
