4.2. To make the suspension or cancellation of enrollment effective, the student must be up to date with the semester tuition installments due through the date of the respective request or, alternatively, with the prior and express approval of the HEI’s Administrative Directorate, must sign a Debt Acknowledgment Instrument acknowledging their debt to the HEI and agreeing on the form of payment.
4.3. Subject to the period of the official academic calendar in which the student finds themselves, the suspension or cancellation of enrollment, which must always be requested in person, will be governed by the following rules:
a) A student who opts for suspension or cancellation of enrollment up to the day before the official start date of classes in the HEI’s official academic calendar will receive a refund of 80% of the amount paid up to that point. The remaining 20% will be retained by the HEI as reimbursement for the operating costs incurred by the HEI.
b) A student who opts for suspension or cancellation of 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 reimbursement of any amount paid, and no amounts relating to subsequent periods will be due. The amounts paid by the student up to that point will be retained by the HEI in order to offset the investments made and services provided to the student up to the time of suspension or cancellation.
c) A student who opts for suspension or cancellation of enrollment from the date set in the academic calendar for suspension or cancellation of enrollment with charge will not be entitled to reimbursement 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 for the costs and investments made on the student’s behalf up to that point, as well as for the impossibility of another student taking their place, given the academic point at which the suspension or cancellation occurs.
d) For a student who requests suspension or cancellation of enrollment after the start of the first assessments, approval of the request will depend on prior review by the HEI’s Directorate.
**
4.4.** Upon suspension of enrollment in any program, the student must plan and inform the HEI of the period for which they wish to keep their enrollment suspended, and must appear at the HEI’s headquarters every semester to renew the suspension, under penalty of immediate loss of their place, 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 contracted school activities does not exempt the student from the obligation to pay the installments due, given the continuity of the educational services made available to them. The student must formalize their withdrawal from the program with the Academic Office.
4.6. Abandonment of the Program by the student, without a formal request for withdrawal or cancellation of enrollment submitted to the Academic Office, will result in full charging of the payment provided for the program.
5. REOPENING OF ENROLLMENT, TRANSFERS, AND EXEMPTION
5.1. The reopening of enrollment is conditional on the program being offered at the time of the request, as well as the existence of vacancies, and the student is not guaranteed the right to benefit from the curriculum in effect at the time of their original enrollment.
5.2. In internal transfers between HEI programs, the amounts already paid in the original program will be transferred to the new program, within the current academic term, 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 tuition installments set for each case.
5.3. The student acknowledges that the HEI 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 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, 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 this procedure automatically entails termination of the Educational Services Agreement in force.
5.5. A request for external transfer does not exempt the student from responsibility for payment of the overdue semester tuition installments and late-payment charges up to the day on which they request their transfer to another higher education institution. If the request occurs after the date set in the academic calendar for suspension or cancellation of enrollment with charge, the student shall pay an amount equivalent to 50% of the remaining balance of the academic period in which they are enrolled, as reimbursement to the HEI for the costs and investments made on their behalf up to that point, as well as for the impossibility of another student taking their place, given the academic point at which the transfer occurs.
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 HEI’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 recognition of 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 renewal) in the academic semester to be taken, and ends on its end date, except for the cases of contractual termination provided for in the Educational Services Agreement.
6.2. The HEI may terminate the Agreement in force if the minimum number of students established in the Entrance Exam Notice is not reached when classes begin for the first-term group, and it hereby undertakes to refund in full, upon prior request from the student, the first installment of the semester tuition relating to the enrollment, which will be done within 20 business days after the date set for the start of classes, with the HEI being allowed to relocate the student to another campus, shift, program, or academic term. In case of incorrect bank details provided by the student, the period will restart from the date the correct information is received.
6.3. Under no circumstances will the HEI be obligated 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 HEI’s discretion, any refund will be made by deposit or transfer to a bank account whose holder is the student or their legal/financial guardian.
6.4. The HEI may terminate the Agreement in force for acts of indiscipline by the student or other reasons provided for in the HEI’s Internal Regulations and in the Student Body Code of Conduct, with the semester tuition installments being due through the date of the student’s actual dismissal.

7.2. However, considering that no security system is infallible, the HEI disclaims any liability for any 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 there is willful misconduct or fault on its part.

The student or their legal guardian expressly and free of charge 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, receipt at the registered email address and/or telephone number of messages with notices and advertising content for products or services of the HEI and its partners, or of any companies of the same economic group.
