Cancellation policy

To receive a full refund, a written notice of cancellation must be sent to ccc@rsm.nl within a term of thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the written confirmation of the registration, unless the start date of the course programme is within the term.

Should a Participant wish to change their enrollment from one course to another within our portfolio, they may do so by notifying us in writing. If the Participant has already received the books, materials, or other one-off costs associated with the initially enrolled course, a change fee of 150 Euros will apply to facilitate this request, regardless of the notice period provided. If the change notification is received less than 30 days before the course begins, CCC B.V. reserves the right to refuse the change request or impose additional fees at its discretion. Any costs incurred for the originally enrolled course, such as books, materials, and catering, are non-refundable. The Participant must partake in the newly enrolled course within one and a half years (1.5) of the original registration date. This change fee is separate and distinct from the cancellation fees listed below and is applicable even if the course change is made within the time frames that would otherwise allow for a reduced or waived cancellation fee.

Accordingly, the cancellation fee is calculated as follows:

  • 25% of the programme fee if the cancellation notice is received 30 days or more before the start date;
  • 75% of the programme fee if the cancellation notice is received between 29 and 15 days before the start date;
  • 100% of the programme fee if the cancellation notice is received 14 days or less before the start date;
  • 100% of the programme fee if the cancellation notice is received after the programme has started.

Scholarships

There are no scholarships available through RSM or other scholarship programmes for these courses or the master. There is only one exception; if you are awarded a scholarship by your country of residence that can be applied to any type of master degree and covers the complete fee, then you can use this to finance the programme.

Tax Return on Study Expenses

The Dutch government encourages lifelong learning and studying by making the costs deductible in the income tax return. This means that the expenses incurred for study geared towards a future profession are deductible up to a maximum of €15,000. There are conditions around these deductive costs. As of the 2022 tax year, tax deductions for your study costs will no longer be possible. 

For more information about tax refund please contact our programme management or your tax advisor, or see the website of the Dutch tax authority.
