Updated on August 30,2013



1. University Application Fee and SICAS Processing Fee

These two payments are never refundable under any circumstances and are compulsory (with "*").

Based on the agreements between SICAS & China’s universities, SICAS does the collection of application fees for universities. You have

to pay the application fee so that the university can process your application. The application fee of a Chinese university is usually

between 60-200 USD depending on schools and types of courses. Since Chinese universities only accept payment in RMB, SICAS will help you

convert the foreign exchange to the university. Only after SICAS paid application fee to the university, the university will start view your

documents and SICAS processing fee is for the daily maintenance of the on-line application system, thus both university application fee and SICAS

processing fee can not be refunded.(Students have to pay those fees no matter they choose SICAS "Standard Service Package" ,

"One for One service Package" or "Plus Service Package".)



2. At the Admission Application Stage--"Processing" or " Pending"


2.1  No Amount is refundable during  "Processing" or "Pending" Stage.

After you have made the SICAS "One for One Service Fee “ or "Plus Service fee"  payment to SICAS and signed the Agreement, it means that

SICAS has an commitment to you and will guarantee that you will get the Admission according to the way that the agreement states.

The fees  can only be refunded if SICAS fails to fulfill the agreement in the end. Thus, even though you choose to terminate it at

“Processing” or “Pending” stage, it is just the change of your personal decision, and it has nothing to do with the Guaranteed Fact

that your Admission will been done regularly as that of others. Thus the SICAS "One for One" or "Plus Service Fee" is non-refundable.


2.2 It is refundable if Admission Status of the student is "Refused".

SICAS "One for One Service fee"is offered by SICAS with a Guaranteed Agreement. Therefore, if SICAS fails to get Admission Letter

for you, the 90% amount will be refunded to you. Alternatively, SICAS will get the student admitted into another university of his/her choice.  

SICAS “Plus Service Package” is offered by SICAS with a Guaranteed Agreement. Therefore, if SICAS fails to get Admission Letter for you,

the 90% amount will be refunded to you. Alternatively, SICAS will get the student admitted into another university of his/her choice.


2.3 No Amount is refundable after the Admission Status becomes "Accepted" or "Posting".


At this stage, even if the student claims that he/she gives up studying in China, SICAS cannot be sure whether he/she will or will not use

the Admission Letter and Visa Form which have already been issued or posted for the student to come to China. If the student comes to

China without the knowledge of SICAS, SICAS will be forced take full responsibility and bear legal liability for him/her within the

territory of China. It is even possible that SICAS will be penalized by the Chinese government if the student misbehaves in China.

On this ground, no SICAS “One for One Service fee " or SICAS "Plus Service fee" is refundable.



Note1: If the student used SICAS  “Admission& JW202 Guarantee“ service , once the JW202   form is refused by the government,

50% of SICAS “One for One Service fee “is refundable.

Note 2: If the student used SICAS  “Admission& JW202 Guarantee“ service , once the JW202 form is refused by the government,

50% of SICAS “Plus service fee” is refundable.




3.At the Visa Application Stage:

Note 3:30% of SICAS One for One Service fee is refundable if the student failed to get a visa after applying to the embassy for 3

times.

Note 4:1000 USD is refundable if the student failed to get a visa after applying to the embassy for 3 times.

If the student cannot come to China due to three refusals from Chinese Embassy and in this case, a proof document issued by the

embassy should be provided to prove that he/she has been refused for three times.  However, what should be noted is that after

the first refusal, the student should inform SICAS at once and accept the “SICAS VisaApplication Training” via Skype Video/Audio Class.

If the student is refused by Chinese Embassy for three times without taking a the training, no SICAS Plus Package fee is refundable.

No amount will be refundable if the student has been issued an Visa from China Embassy but decide not to come to China on his/ her

own choice.

At this stage, even if the student claims that he/she gives up studying in China, SICAS cannot be sure whether he/she will come to

China or not. If the student does this without SICAS’s knowledge, SICAS still have to take full responsibility and bear legal liability

for him/her within the territory of China. It is even possible that SICAS will be penalized by the Chinese government if the student

misbehaves in China. On this ground, no SICAS Plus fee is refundable.  


4.At the Arrival Stage:

No amount will be refundable if the student has landed in China.

SICAS “Plus Service Package” is provided as a whole package. Once the student lands in China, whether he/she wants or not,

SICAS still have to take full responsibility and bear legal liability for him/her within the territory of China. It is even possible that SICAS

will be penalized by the Chinese government if the student misbehaves in China. On this ground, no SICAS Plus fee is refundable.

(Students only have to pay this fee if they choose SICAS "One for One" or "Plus Service Package".
