4. ENROLLMENT SUSPENSION (LEAVE OF ABSENCE)
4.1. Suspension or cancellation of enrollment are the acts that effectively stop the charging of upcoming school semester installments, while the obligation remains for semester installments that are due and unpaid, as defined in the educational services agreement.
4.2. To carry out the suspension or cancellation of enrollment, the student must be current on the semester installments due up to the date of the respective request or, alternatively, with the prior and express approval of the IES’s Administrative Directorate, must sign a Debt Acknowledgment Instrument acknowledging their debt to the IES and agreeing on the form of payment.
4.3. Subject to the period of the official academic calendar in which the student finds themselves, suspension or cancellation of enrollment, which must always be requested in person, will follow these rules:
a) A student who chooses to suspend or cancel enrollment up to the day before the official start date of classes in the IES’s official academic calendar will receive a refund of 80% of the amount paid up to that point. The remaining 20% will go to the IES as reimbursement of the operating costs incurred by the IES.
b) A student who chooses to suspend or cancel enrollment from the first official day of classes up to the day before the date set in the academic calendar for suspension or cancellation without charge will not be entitled to a refund of any amount paid, and no amounts relating to subsequent periods will be owed. The amounts paid by the student up to that point will be retained by the IES in order to offset the investments made and services provided for the student up to the time of suspension or cancellation.
c) A student who chooses to suspend or cancel enrollment from the date set in the academic calendar for suspension or cancellation of enrollment with charge will not be entitled to a refund of any amount paid. The student will owe a total of 50% of the remaining balance of the academic period for which they are enrolled, as reimbursement for the costs and investments made for the student up to that point, as well as for the impossibility of another student taking their place, given the academic moment at which the suspension or cancellation is made.
d) For a student who requests suspension or cancellation of enrollment after the first assessments have begun, approval of the request will depend on prior review by the IES Directorate.
**
4.4.** At the time of suspending enrollment in any program, the student must plan and inform the IES of the period for which they wish to keep their enrollment suspended, and must appear at the IES headquarters every semester to renew the suspension, under penalty of immediate loss of their slot, with this suspension period limited to two years and six months, consecutive or not, during the duration of the program.
4.5. Failure to attend classes and other school activities contracted herein does not exempt the student from the obligation to pay the installments owed, given the continuity of the educational services made available to them. The student must formalize their withdrawal from the program with the Academic Registrar’s Office.
4.6. Abandonment of the Program by the student, without a formal request for withdrawal or cancellation of enrollment made to the Academic Registrar’s Office, will result in the full charge of the payment provided for the program.
5. REOPENING OF ENROLLMENT, TRANSFERS AND EXEMPTION
5.1. Reopening of enrollment is conditional on the program being offered at the time of the request, as well as on the availability of slots, and the student is not guaranteed the right to enjoy the services of the curriculum that was in effect at the time of their original contract.
5.2. In internal transfers between IES programs, the amounts already paid in the original program will be transferred to the new program, within the current academic period, up to 30 (thirty) days before classes begin. The student will be subject to the rules and conditions of the new program and/or new shift sought, especially with regard to the amounts of the semester installments set for each case.
5.3. The student acknowledges that the IES is assured the possibility of ending the educational activities of the campus of origin of their program and/or shift, it being understood that the student is permitted to apply the courses taken and the amounts paid toward other programs.
5.4. The student’s transfer to another higher education institution will be carried out within a period sufficient for the transfer to take effect, by written and/or online request from the student or their legal representative, between institutions, in accordance with the federal legislation in force, it being agreed that such a procedure automatically results in termination of the Educational Services Agreement in force.
5.5. A request for external transfer does not exempt the student from responsibility for paying the semester installments that are due and late-payment charges up to the day on which they request transfer to another higher education institution. If the request is made after the date set in the academic calendar for suspension or cancellation of enrollment with charge, the student must pay an amount equivalent to 50% of the remaining balance of the academic period for which they are enrolled, as reimbursement to the IES for the costs and investments made for them up to that point, as well as for the impossibility of another student taking their place, given the academic moment at which the transfer is made.
5.6. In cases of exemption from enrolled credit(s)/course(s), the refund of amounts already paid for the exempted credit(s)/course(s) will be at the IES’s discretion, according to the program contracted, the campus and the shift attended.
5.7. In the case of students coming from another educational institution, as well as in cases of internal transfer, the credit given for courses already taken in the program of origin will be subject to review by the Coordination of the destination program.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1. The term of this agreement begins on the date of the student’s enrollment (initial or enrollment renewal) in the academic semester to be taken, and ends on its end date, except for the cases of contract termination provided for in the Educational Services Agreement.
6.2. The IES may terminate the Agreement in force if the minimum number of students set in the Entrance Exam Notice is not reached when classes for the first-term group begin, and it hereby undertakes to refund in full, upon prior request by the student, the first installment of the semester tuition corresponding to enrollment, a measure that will take effect within 20 business days after the date set for classes to begin, with the IES having the option of relocating the student to another campus, shift, program or academic period. If the bank details provided by the student are incorrect, the period will start over from the date the correct information is received.
6.3. Under no circumstances will the IES be obliged to refund the amount in cash or by check, or by deposit into a third party’s bank account, even if authorized by the student. Thus, at the IES’s discretion, any refund will be made by deposit or transfer into a bank account whose holder is the student or their legal/financial guardian.
6.4. The IES may terminate the Agreement in force for acts of indiscipline by the student or other reasons provided for in the IES Internal Regulations and in the Student Body Code of Conduct, with the semester installments being due up to the date of the student’s actual withdrawal.

7.2. However, considering that no security system is infallible, the IES disclaims any liability for possible damages and/or losses resulting from failures, viruses or intrusions into its database and other unlawful acts committed by third parties, except in cases where it has acted with intent or fault.

The student or their legal guardian expressly and free of charge grants the right to share their personal data, for the purposes of academic service, recording of school activities and/or historical archives, compliance with court orders and/or orders of administrative authorities, and receiving, at the registered email address and/or phone number, messages with notices and advertising content about products or services of the IES and its partners, or of any companies in the same economic group.
