Astrakhan State Medical University (ASMU) is committed to transparency and fairness regarding student payments. This Refund Policy outlines conditions under which tuition, accommodation, and administrative fees may be refunded.
This policy applies to:
Tuition Fees (if applicable for non-waiver students)
Accommodation Fees (hostel fees)
Administrative Fees (invitation letter fee, medical insurance fee)
Note: Students enrolled under the Tuition Fee Waiver Program are not required to pay tuition or accommodation fees; therefore, refunds mainly apply to administrative expenses if certain conditions are met.
Refunds are pro-rated based on the academic calendar if a student withdraws before the start of classes or within the first semester.
Refund requests must be submitted in writing to the ASMU International Office.
Tuition Fee Waiver Students:
Tuition and accommodation fees are already waived and cannot be refunded, as no payment is required.
Students are responsible for administrative fees such as:
Invitation Letter Fee – $500 USD
Medical Insurance Fee – $300 USD
Refund Conditions:
Before Visa Issuance:
If a student decides not to enroll and has paid administrative fees, a partial refund may be considered, minus bank transfer and processing charges.
After Visa Issuance or Enrollment:
Administrative fees are non-refundable, as these are used to cover university and governmental processing costs.
Include:
Student full name and application ID
Proof of payment for administrative fees
Reason for withdrawal
ASMU will review the request and provide confirmation within 15–30 business days.
Approved refunds will be processed via the original payment method or a mutually agreed bank transfer.
