The RSCM reserves the right to re-allocate any places for which the fee has not been paid in full 6 weeks before the first day of the course. In the event of cancellation by the applicant:– more than 6 weeks before the start of the course, amounts paid in advance, except for the deposit, will be refunded.– less than 6 weeks before the start of the course a partial refund will be considered if the place can be re-allocated.
