Enrolling for a course or program at the International University of America
( hereafter known as ‘IUA’ ) constitutes a binding agreement on the student to follow the
course or program and pay the full tuition fees.

false declaration about qualification or age or failure to produce documentary evidence of
entry qualifications may render a student liable to expulsion from the program to which he/she
has been admitted.
A student accepted on a course without first having been interviewed may be required
to undergo a test in English on arrival to ensure that he/she has an adequate understanding of
the language to cope with the program. Depending on the result of the test, he/she may be
required to follow a remedial language course for as long as is deemed necessary to bring
him/her up to the required standard.
