12. Tuition refund rules:
    (1) Except for not having enough students to offer the course, after registering and paying off the tuition fee, if one would like to drop the course for a personal reason, we would refund the tuition according to the criteria set by Ministry of Education in Taiwan below：
    i. If one applies for a tuition refund after registration but before the course starts, we would refund 90% of the paid tuition.
    ii. If one applies for a tuition refund after the course starts but not over one third of the coursehours, we would refund half of the paid tuition. For example, if the course hour is 40 hours in total, one third is 13 hours; if one applies for a refund within the first 13 hours, s/he could have ahalf of the paid tuition back.
    iii. If one applied a tuition refund when the course duration has passed one-third of the coursehours, we would not refund the paid tuition. For example, if the course hour is 40 hours in total, one third is 13 hours; if one applies for a refund after the first-13-hour instruction has been completed, s/he could not have any of the paid tuition back.(2) However, we do NOT recommend tuition refund for people who is not in Taiwan, because a remittance fee is required for money transferring; and the actual amount of money you receive in your local bank account may be deducted of the remittance fee. Therefore, we suggest you think twice before you register our online program or apply for a tuition refund.
13.  Absence rules
    1. We don’t offer makeup classes for students who miss the classes for personal reasons.
    2. If you need to ask for a leave for one class, please notify us in CSL program LINE (@202dyxzq), if you are in Taiwan, or the instructor, at least 2 hours before the class.
