Registration can be cancelled for general language courses up until one working day prior to the second lesson.

4.1.1 Cancellation up until one working day prior to the first lesson

  • If the course starts on Monday, Friday is the last working day before the start of the course because Saturday is not a working day at UniBw M. The date of delivery of the notice of withdrawal is relevant for meeting the deadline.
  • No curse fee or processing fee has to be paid.

4.1.2 Cancellation the day of the first lesson or after the first lesson but before the second lesson

  • If the course takes place on Monday, Friday is the last working day before the second lesson because Saturday is not a working day at UniBw M. The date of delivery of the notice of withdrawal is relevant for meeting the deadline.

  • If notice is not given at least one working day before the second lesson, the full course fee must be paid and no refunds can be given.

4.1.3 Cancellation the day of the second lesson or after the second lesson

  • It is not possible to cancel your registration from the day of the second lesson.
  • The full course fee must be paid and no refunds can be given.


4.2 Special Cancellation Regulations for Workshops

As workshops can last for as little as one session per trimester, cancellation without cost is only possible up until one working day prior to the start of the first workshop session. This applies to workshops with any number of sessions regardless.

  • Notice must be given via e-mail to sprachweiterbildung@unibw.de at least one working day prior to the first lesson.
  • If notice by e-mail is not given in time, the workshop fee has to be paid in full, even if you do not attend.

 4.3 Exceptional Cancellation Regulations (NOT for Workshops)

These exceptional cancellation regulations apply to general language courses only. They do not apply to workshops.

Small groups with fewer than five participants are partially exempt from the regulations stated above in # 4.1. If necessary, individual arrangements pertaining to duration and number of lessons can be made, affecting the total amount t of the course fee per person. Such arrangements will usually be discussed during the first lesson. It is, therefore, possible to cancel your registration without any fees up until directly after the first lesson, if no agreeable solution regarding the amount of class time and the ensuing course fee can be found. In such a case it is necessary to give notice directly to the teacher and also directly by e-mail to sprachweiterbildung@unibw.de.  

For cancellation due to any other reason, the regulations as stated under # 4.1 or # 4.2 apply, respectively.

 

4.4 Missed Lessons / Cancelled Lessons

Should you miss a lesson, no refund or reduction of course fees is possible, regardless of what caused you to miss the lesson.

Bundeswehr University Munich as a campus university does not regularly offer distance learning. Therefore, participants are not entitled to complimentary distance teaching methods to compensate for any absence due to illness, quarantine, or other reasons while their course takes place in the classroom.

Should a lesson need to be cancelled due to sickness of a teacher, an alternative date will be set up to make up for the cancelled lesson. In case no alternative date can be found, participants receive a partial refund for the cancelled lesson.
