An international student deposit

All overseas applicants (excluding applicants from CIS countries) must pay a deposit of $2,000 (two thousand US dollars). If the applicant comes with other family members, the same amount of deposit must be paid by each family member. Invitation to study, which is necessary for a student visa, will be sent only after the payment of a deposit.

Return of the deposit

The deposit is given back to the student upon the graduation after all fees are paid.

The deposit might be used as an emergency fund for the purchase of a plane ticket to return to the student’s home country.

In some cases, the deposit might be returned earlier.

Deposit is returned in full if the visa application is refused (denial must be confirmed by the Consular Department). The deposit is not refundable if the visa was denied because of the fraudulent application or because of the violation of the Embassy policy.

The deposit is not refundable if, after receiving the invitation, the student changed his plans and refused to study at the Institute.

Refunds will only be made to the individual or organization who originally paid the deposit. If a third party has paid the deposit on behalf of the applicant the Institute is unable to refund the deposit directly to the applicant.

At the end of the study the student must apply for a return of the deposit and provide information about the bank details, including SWIFT or BIC bank code of the recipient.

If within three years after the finishing (or cessation) of study the student does not request the deposit then these funds are credited to the income of the Institute and may not be returned in the future.

All costs associated with the return of funds (bank fees, etc.) are paid from the deposit.
