Can I Get a Refund for My Application Fee?

Although the application fee is generally non-refundable, there are certain situations where a refund may be possible. These situations include:

  • System Failure to Recognize Eligibility
    If the system fails to recognize your eligibility for a program due to a technical issue, you may qualify for a refund.

  • Program Suspension
    If the program you applied to is suspended or cancelled by Passage or the school, you may be eligible for a refund.

  • School Confirmation of Refund Eligibility
    In some cases, the school may confirm that you qualify for a refund based on specific criteria. If the school acknowledges this, Passage will process your refund accordingly.

  1. Timeline for Refunds: Once your application fee is deemed eligible for a refund, our team processes it within a few days.

  2. Refund Method: The refunded amount will be returned to the original payment account.


Why Are Application Fees Non-Refundable?

The application fee covers the administrative costs associated with reviewing and processing your application. This includes tasks such as document verification, application review, and other necessary procedures. Once the fee is paid, it is typically non-refundable as it helps maintain these operations.


When Are Application Fee Discounts or Waivers Available?

Although the application fee is generally non-refundable, there are circumstances where you may qualify for a discount or fee waiver:

  • Promotional Codes
    During special promotional periods or events, Passage may offer discounts on application fees. Stay alert for announcements to take advantage of these offers.

  • Exceptional Application Quality
    If your application demonstrates exceptional quality, you may be eligible for a discount or even a fee waiver. These cases are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and require approval from the Passage team and management.
