1. Admission fee and tuition

The remitted admission fee and the tuition will not be refunded in the event that the applicant decides to withdraw application, go on leave, or drop out. However, if there was an extenuating circumstance under which the applicant/student had to withdraw, drop out, etc., under duress, such as illness of oneself or of a family member, part of the tuition will be reimbursed from the week following the emergence of the circumstance (if no verifying document is submitted by the date of the emergence, counting is to begin from the date of document submission), calculated on a weekly basis. In such a case, a verifying document (e.g., a medical report or a job offer) must be furnished. Refunds will also be made to applicants for the 2-year General Course under the following circumstances.

1. When entering the country is impossible due to failure to obtain a passport or visa:
   We will refund the admission fee and the pre-paid tuition upon receipt of the applicant’s letter of admission and the Certificate of Eligibility. The applicant is to burden the shipping and handling costs. JLI will then return the Certificate of Eligibility to the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau.
2. When the application for extending the study period on the Eligibility has been denied:
   We will refund the tuition for the period (s) that the applicant will be unable to attend.

2. Selection processing fee (for the 2-year General Course only)

No refund will be made, even if the selection process results in non-admission.
