4. ENROLLMENT SUSPENSION
4.1. Suspension or cancellation of enrollment are the effective acts for suspending the charging of upcoming tuition installments, and the obligation remains for tuition installments that are overdue and unpaid, as defined in the educational services agreement.
4.2. To complete the suspension or cancellation of enrollment, the student must be current on the tuition installments due through the date of the request or, alternatively, with the prior and express approval of the institution’s Administrative Directorate, must sign an Acknowledgment of Debt acknowledging the debt owed to the institution and agreeing on the form of payment.
4.3. Taking into account the period of the official academic calendar the student is in, suspension or cancellation of enrollment, which must always be requested in person, will follow these rules:
a) A student who opts to suspend or cancel enrollment up to the day before the official start date of classes in the institution’s official academic calendar will receive a refund of 80% of the amount paid up to that time. The remaining 20% will go to the institution as reimbursement for the operating costs incurred by the institution.
b) A student who opts to suspend or cancel enrollment from the first official day of classes through 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 for subsequent periods will be due. The amounts paid by the student up to that point will be retained by the institution to offset the investments made and services provided to the student up to the time of suspension or cancellation.
c) A student who opts 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 in which they are enrolled, as reimbursement of the costs and investments made on the student’s behalf up to that time, as well as for the impossibility of another student taking their place, given the point in the academic period 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 institution’s Directorate.
**
4.4.** At the time of suspending enrollment in any program, the student must plan and inform the institution of the period during which they wish to keep their enrollment suspended, and must appear at the institution’s headquarters each semester to renew the suspension, under penalty of immediate loss of their seat, 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 release the student from the obligation to pay the installments due, given the continuity of the educational services made available to the student. 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 filed with 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. The reopening of enrollment is conditioned on the program being offered at the time of the request, as well as on the availability of seats, 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 programs of the institution, 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 the new shift desired, especially with regard to the tuition installment amounts set for each case.
5.3. The student acknowledges that the institution is assured the possibility of closing the educational activities of the campus of origin of their program and/or shift, and that the student is allowed 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, through a written and/or online request by the student or their legal representative, between institutions, in accordance with the federal legislation in force, and it is agreed that this procedure automatically results in termination of the Educational Services Agreement in force.
5.5. A request for external transfer does not release the student from responsibility for paying overdue tuition installments and late-payment charges through the day on which they request their 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 in which they are enrolled, as reimbursement to the institution of the costs and investments made on their behalf up to that time, as well as for the impossibility of another student taking their place, given the point in the academic period 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 institution’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 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 AND ENROLLMENT RENEWAL
6.1. The term of this agreement begins on the date of the student’s enrollment (initial or 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 institution may terminate the Agreement in force if the minimum number of students established in the Entrance Exam Notice is not met when classes for the first-period group begin, and it undertakes, from now on, to fully refund, upon prior request by the student, the first tuition installment for the enrollment, which will be done within 20 business days after the date set for the start of classes, and the institution may reassign the student to another campus, shift, program, or academic period. If the bank details provided by the student are incorrect, the deadline will restart from the date the correct information is received.
6.3. Under no circumstances will the institution be required 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. Accordingly, at the institution’s discretion, any refund will be made by deposit or transfer to a bank account held by the student or their legal/financial guardian.
6.4. The institution may terminate the Agreement in force for acts of indiscipline by the student or other reasons provided for in the institution’s Internal Regulations and in the Student Body Code of Conduct, and tuition installments are due through the date of the student’s actual dismissal.
6.5. The institution may also decline to renew enrollment in the event of the student’s default, based on art. 5 of Law 9,870 of November 23, 1999.
6.6. This Agreement may be terminated by the student, who must observe the rules set out in the Educational Services Agreement.
7. PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

7.2. However, considering that no security system is infallible, the institution disclaims any liability for any damages and/or losses arising from failures, viruses, or intrusions into its database and other unlawful acts committed by third parties, except in cases of willful misconduct or negligence on its part.

The student or their legal guardian expressly and freely grants the right to share their personal data for purposes of academic services, recording of school activities and/or historical archives, compliance with court orders and/or orders from administrative authorities, and receipt, at the registered email address and/or telephone, of messages with notices and advertising content about products or services of the institution and its partners, or of any companies of the same economic group.
