Refund policy

• If your application is successful, the application fee will be deducted from the first tuition fee payment that you make to the IT University of Copenhagen.
• If your application is unsuccessful, or if your application is successful but you choose not to accept the admission offer, a refund will not be given.
• A direct refund of the application fee is only possible if you have made one or more payments of the application fee without having submitted the relevant number of applications, or if you have paid the application fee even though you are exempt from it. Once you have submitted an application, you are liable for the application fee, even if you cancel the application. This means that if you pay the application fee, but change your mind about applying, you can only get a refund if you have not yet submitted the application. If you wish to request a refund, please contact sap@itu.dk.
