Postponement
Students who wish to postpone their course must notify BLI as soon as possible and well in advance of their original start date.
– BLI will issue a new Letter of Acceptance (LOA) free of charge for a later start date if the postponement is requested with sufficient notice.
– Last-minute postponements, especially those requested within one week of the program start date, can cause significant challenges. This is because certain services—such as accommodation, transportation, and orientation activities—may have already been arranged or booked.
– In such cases, BLI reserves the right to apply fees or penalties to cover any costs incurred from cancellations or changes to these services.
– To avoid complications, students are strongly encouraged to communicate any need to postpone as early as possible.
Program Changes
Students may upgrade their program at any time.
To downgrade (e.g., reduce weekly lessons), students must cancel their current program and reapply.
Homestay Refund
– The homestay placement fee is non-refundable.
– Students must provide two weeks’ written notice to request a change in homestay arrangements.
– BLI does not refund the first four weeks of homestay fees.
