Refunds & Returns Policy

Refunds & Returns Policy

At ChinaSchooling, we aim to provide honest, high-quality, and reliable services to every student. We work hard to secure university admission and scholarships based on each student’s qualifications, performance, cooperation, and university requirements.

To ensure transparency and fairness for both students and our team, please carefully read our refund and cancellation policy below.

ORDER / SERVICE CANCELLATION POLICY
1.1 Cancellation Within 12 Hours (Before Processing Starts)

  • If you request cancellation within 12 hours after payment and before we start processing your documents, you will receive a full refund excluding university application fees (if already paid).

1.2 Cancellation After Processing Has Started

Once we begin working on your application—this includes:

  • Document checking
  • Preparing your files
  • Applying at university account
  • Submitting applications
  • Paying university application fees

The order cannot be fully canceled.

If you still request cancellation:

  • 500 RMB cancellation fee applies
  • University application fees are non-refundable (universities never refund them)
  • The remaining balance (after deducting above costs) will be refunded
  • No additional administrative fees will be charged

REFUND POLICY

We believe in fairness. Refunds are only provided when ChinaSchooling fails to deliver the service, not when the student fails to qualify.

Please read each condition clearly.

Situations Where Refund WILL Be Provided
A. If ChinaSchooling is unable to secure admission

If we cannot secure admission at any of the applied universities, we will refund the full service fee except university application fees, as they are paid directly to universities.

B. If ChinaSchooling is unable to secure the scholarship level requested due to our own fault

If we fail to follow the correct procedures, submit applications late, or make errors that cause scholarship loss, we will refund our service fee (application fees still non-refundable).

C. If service is not delivered within the promised intake period

  • September intake services must be completed by August
  • March intake services must be completed by February

If delays are caused by us, a refund applies (excluding university fees).

Situations Where Refund WILL NOT Be Provided

Refunds will not be issued under the following conditions, as they are outside of our control:

A. Student Fails University Interview or Online Test

If scholarship or admission is lost because the student:

  • Did not perform well in the interview
  • Failed or scored poorly on online exams
  • Could not meet academic or language requirements

Deposit/service fee is NOT refundable, because our work was completed but the student did not qualify.

B. Student Applies for Multiple Programs (Degree/Language, etc.)

If a student requests:

  • “Bachelor’s or Chinese Language Program”
    and receives one of the chosen options, the service is considered completed.
  • No refund will be given.

C. Student Receives Admission But Not Scholarship

If the student receives:

  • Admission only
  • Partial scholarship instead of full scholarship

due to interview/test performance, university policy, or academic evaluation:

  • No refund, because admission was successfully obtained and scholarship depends on student performance.

D. Student Provides Fake, Forged, or Unacceptable Documents

No refund will be provided if documents such as:

  • Diplomas
  • Transcripts
  • Physical exams
  • Police clearance

are found to be fake or unverifiable.

E. Visa Rejection

Our responsibility ends when we secure admission or scholarship.
Visa approval depends on embassy decisions.

  • Visa rejection does not qualify for a refund.

F. Delays Caused by the Student

Refunds are not provided if the student:

  • Fails to submit documents on time
  • Does not respond to our messages/emails
  • Refuses to attend interviews or exams
  • Delays the process by not cooperating

G. Incorrect Shipping Address Provided by Student

If the admission letter or documents are lost due to the student providing the wrong address:

  • No refund.

H. Uncontrollable External Factors

No refund for delays caused by:

  • Natural disasters
  • System issues from universities
  • Global emergencies
  • Government policy changes

These are outside our control.

UNIVERSITY APPLICATION FEES ARE ALWAYS NON-REFUNDABLE

  • Universities never refund application fees.
    These fees are not part of ChinaSchooling’s service charge.

Your deposit is used to pay:

  • University application fees
  • Document processing fees
  • Communication and portal charges

Once paid, these expenses cannot be recovered.

Scholarship Outcomes Are Not Guaranteed

Scholarships depend on:

  • Student academic performance
  • Interview results
  • Test performance (online test / CSCA / university exam)
  • University policy
  • Seat availability

ChinaSchooling CANNOT guarantee full scholarships.
We guarantee application and processing, not the university’s decision.
