NOTE
Receipts must be presented to the class teacher on the first night of tuition so that enrolment details may be entered on the class register.
Students are responsible for making themselves aware of examination entries, dates on the college website www.corkcollegeofcommerce.ie, examinations fees, Institute requirements and project deadlines which will be given to you by your tutor. These deadlines must be strictly adhered to.

A full refund will only be given to all applicants for courses which do not proceed. We regret we cannot entertain any other requests for refunds.
