Refunding of tuition fee

Refunding of tuition fee

Tuition fees can in some cases be partially or fully refunded. Students can apply for a tuition fee refund and post it to Karlstad University, SE-651 88 Karlstad, Sweden. Karlstad University only refunds the tuition fee to the same bank account from which we received the payment. For a swift process, we recommend that you send an application that should contain the following:

1) a signed letter describing the reasons for the refund application,

2) a copy of the voucher with the details of the bank account you made the payment from (account number, IBAN, SWIFT, the bank address),

3) a copy of any decision from the Swedish Migration Agency if applicable, 4) a copy of the passport.
Grounds that might make a student eligible for a tuition fee refund: 

• The student was not granted a residence permit in Sweden,
• Due to compulsory military conscription in the student’s home country,
• The fee was paid too late during the term, so it was no longer possible to commence the intended programme/course,
• Other cases with extraordinary reasons (for example medical reasons, or the student’s status having been changed from obliged to pay tuition fee to non-obliged once payment has already been made).
