Reservation fee
To apply for admission to the Studio Arts Program, students must complete the registration form. Once the form is received and reviewed by the academic team, the applicant will be contacted to proceed with the payment of the reservation fee.
The reservation fee is deducted from the total course fee upon admission and is essential to secure a place in the program.
The reservation fee is non-refundable under any circumstances, except if the application is rejected by Metàfora. In such cases, the fee will be refunded as promptly as possible.
If the student cancels or postpones their enrollment, the amount paid will remain valid for a maximum of 12 months from the start date of the originally enrolled course (see postponement conditions in the relevant section).
Payment of the Course Fee
The remaining balance of the course fee must be paid no later than 30 days prior to the course start date.
Failure to make the payment within the stipulated time frame may result in the loss of the reserved place and the student being moved to the waiting list.
Once the course has started, no refunds will be issued (either partially or in full) if the student cancels or postpones their participation.
Payment in Installments
Students have the option to pay the remaining course fee in installments:
- 3 installments: subject to a 3% surcharge on the deferred amount.
- 8 installments: subject to a 5% surcharge on the deferred amount.
Installments must be paid between the 1st and 5th of each corresponding month, as per the payment schedule established by Metàfora.
The student will receive a receipt with the amount and payment terms specified.
In the event of late payment, a €20 surcharge will be applied for each week of delay.
Defer the beginning of a course or change course
Students wishing to postpone their participation or transfer to another course must notify Metàfora in writing at least 6 weeks before the start of the originally enrolled course.
Conditions for postponement or change:
- The amount paid will remain valid for a maximum of 12 months from the start date of the original course.
- A €250 fee will be charged for processing the postponement, which will be added to any outstanding balance.
- If the new course has a higher cost, the student must pay the difference. If the cost is lower, the remaining balance will be retained as credit for future Metàfora activities, valid for an additional 12 months.
Requests for postponement or course changes are subject to availability and the admission requirements of the new course.
No refunds will be issued under any circumstances.
Interruption of studies due to Involuntary Causes
- In the case of an accident or illness, the student may request a voucher for the amount paid, valid for any Metàfora course within a 12-month period.
- A medical certificate must be provided to justify the reason.
Interruption of studies due to Voluntary Causes
If the student voluntarily interrupts their participation after the course has started:
- No refunds will be issued (either partially or in full).
- The student will lose their place and must fulfill their financial commitments. Under no circumstances does voluntarily interrupting the course exempt the student from the financial obligations they have contracted with the school.
- To resume studies in the future, the student will need to initiate a new enrollment and payment process.
Payment Methods
All payments can be made in cash, by credit / debit card (through Metàfora’s website, by phone or in person) or by bank transfer.
When making the payment by bank transfer, the full name of the applicant must be clearly indicated. Metàfora is not responsible for reservation of places for participants whose name and course is not correctly included in the transfers received. In case of doubt, please send proof by email.
All commissions related to international bank transfers are at the expense of the sender. Any erroneously applied commission will be claimed when the student arrives.
Important Notice
Submission of the registration form and payment of the corresponding fee constitute full acceptance of these terms.
