In any case, degrees will not be awarded until the final payment has been received from the student.

Course Textbooks
The student on enrolling into a program of studies will receive a course syllabus and the first lesson or Learning Module. This will be issued to the student within seven days after the student has been accepted for admission. The student shall receive all the other materials, syllabuses and text books when he/she has fully paid for the program and requested all the materials in writing, after having received the first learning module and initial correspondence. The enrollment agreement lists the institution's and student's rights and duties.
