Application fee:
When applying to some Metàfora courses, the application form is accompanied by an application fee. This fee is returned to the applicant in the case of non-admission.
If admitted, the application fee is deducted from the tuition fees of the course.
If the student wishes to cancel or postpone the application, this fee remains valid for a maximum of 12 months, counting from the beginning of the course in which the student originally enrolled (see conditions below).
Reservation fee:
When the student has been admitted to the course, it is necessary to pre-enroll by paying a reservation fee. Metàfora does not guarantee a place on the course without this payment.
The reservation fee will not be refunded under any circumstances.
For courses with an admission process, it is required to have a letter of admission in order to pay the reservation fee. Upon admission, the student will receive an invoice with the amount and a payment terms are specified.
If the payment due date is not met, the student may lose their place and be placed on the waiting list.
For bank transfers it is essential to send proof of payment to Metàfora within the deadline.
For courses without entrance requirements, the reservation is guaranteed at the moment of the registration payment.
Tuition fee:
For courses that require an admission process, the remaining tuition must be paid at least 30 days before the start of the course (45 days before for those courses in which the Award Scheme discount has been applied).
In the case of courses without entry requirements, the remaining fees must be paid 7 days in advance of the start of the course.
If the payment due date is not met, the student may lose their place and be placed on the waiting list.
For bank transfers it is essential to send proof of payment to Metàfora within the deadline.
Once the course has started, there is no possibility of returning the fees (or part of them). if the student wishes to cancel or postpone their stay at Metàfora.
Payment of tuition in instalments:
Some courses offer the possibility of paying the remaining tuition in instalments with an increase of between 5% and 8% of the pending amount. The payment terms are established by Metàfora.
Late payments:
A supplement of 20€ will be applied for each week of late payment.
Defer the beginning of a course or change course:
If the student wishes to postpone course start or change to another course, the amount paid remains valid for a maximum of 12 months, subject to an additional fee (see below). The deferment period counts from the beginning of the course on which the student originally enrolled.
The fees will not be refunded under any circumstances.
During this period, the student may opt for other courses (subject to admission and free places). In the event that the fees for the new course do not coincide with the course chosen initially, the student will be requested to pay the difference. If the chosen course has a lower value than the one paid, the remaining amount will be saved for another Metàfora activity, for a maximum of 12 additional months.
To postpone the start of a course or change to another course, it is necessary to inform Metàfora by written notification at least 6 weeks before the beginning of the original course start.
A deferment letter carries an additional cost of 250€, to be added to the remaining fees.
If the student wishes to resume the studies in the future, they must restart the application and enrollment payment procedures again.

Involuntary interruptions of studies:
In case of accident or illness during the course, the studies may be interrupted for a maximum period of 12 months. It is necessary to present a medical certificate.
During this time the acquired economic commitment remains valid without any surcharge.
Voluntary interruptions of studies:
Once the course has started, there is no possibility of returning the tuition fee (or part of it), if the student wishes to cancel or postpone their stay at Metàfora.
If a student decides to interrupt their studies voluntarily, they lose their place on the course and must still comply with the acquired financial commitment.
In no case will voluntary interruption of the course leave the student exempt from the financial commitments contracted.

All payments can be made in cash, by credit / debit card (through Metàfora’s website, by phone or in person) or by bank transfer.
