Step-by-Step Instructions

Leave of Absence (LOA/PLOA)

 No financial or academic pending issues
If you have no tuition debt and have not failedany courses:

        ✅ You can take a leave at any time.

        ✅ When you return, you won’t have to pay anything retroactively.

        ✅ Tuition payments will only resume after your return.

 With financial pending issues

    If you owe any tuition:

        ⚠️ You must pay all pending amounts before returning.

        ✏️ Example: If you paused your course in March and owed January and February, you’ll need to pay both months to resume.

 With failed subjects
If you failed any course:

    ❗ These courses will be automatically rescheduled when you return.

    ❗ The value of the courses will be recalculated and added to your new payment plan.

    ❗ You’ll need to sign a new Payment Form with updated values to continue.

Cancellation

 Definitive cancellation

    There is no cancellation fee.

    ❗ But you must pay only for the courses you completed, not for unpaid monthly tuition.

    ✏️ Example: If you completed 3 courses, you'll need to pay for those 3 only.

Reentry after cancellation

    If you choose to return:

    A Reentry Fee (R$550) will be charged.

     ✅  You’ll also need to:

• Pay any pending tuition owed before the cancellation.
  

• Reschedule and pay for failed courses. The amount will be added to a new payment plan through the Payment Form.
