• An embassy.
• An immigration office.
• A visa processing authority.

Students are responsible for ensuring that the contact information provided remains accurate and accessible.

LitConnect shall not be responsible for delays resulting from missed emails, unanswered phone calls, outdated contact information, or failure to respond to communications within a reasonable time.

No Guarantee of Admission

Using LitConnect's services does not guarantee admission to any university or educational institution.

Admission decisions are made solely by the respective universities based on their own admission policies, academic standards, document verification processes, and eligibility requirements.

Factors that may influence admission decisions include, but are not limited to:

• Academic qualifications
• Entry requirements
• Course availability
• English language proficiency
• Document verification
• University policies

LitConnect will make reasonable efforts to assist students throughout the application process but cannot influence or control the final admission decision.

Scholarships

LitConnect may provide information and guidance regarding scholarships, tuition discounts, grants, bursaries, and other financial assistance offered by universities or third-party organizations.

However, students acknowledge and agree that:

• LitConnect does not award scholarships.
• Scholarship availability varies between universities and academic programs.
• Each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria, application requirements, deadlines, and selection process.
• Scholarships may be competitive and limited in number.
• Meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee selection.
• Scholarship amounts, conditions, and continuation requirements are determined solely by the scholarship provider or educational institution.

Our counsellors may assist students in identifying scholarship opportunities and preparing applications, but the final decision always rests with the awarding institution.

LitConnect shall not be held responsible if:

• A scholarship application is rejected.
• A scholarship amount is reduced or withdrawn.
• Scholarship policies change.
• A university discontinues a scholarship program.

Students are encouraged to carefully review the scholarship terms issued by the university before accepting any offer.

Tuition Fees and Other Costs

Tuition fees, accommodation charges, examination fees, insurance costs, registration fees, visa fees, travel expenses, and other educational costs are determined solely by the respective university or service provider.

Although LitConnect makes every effort to provide accurate information, these costs may change without prior notice.

Students acknowledge that:

• Tuition fees may increase from one academic year to another.
• Universities may revise their fee structures.
• Exchange rates may affect the total cost of education.
• Government taxes or administrative charges may change.
• Additional expenses may arise during the admission process.

Students are responsible for verifying the latest fee structure directly with the university before making any financial commitment.

LitConnect is not responsible for losses resulting from changes in tuition fees, exchange rates, university policies, or government regulations.

Payments

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payments for tuition fees, application fees, hostel fees, insurance, visa fees, and other university-related charges should be made directly to the respective university or authorized institution.

If LitConnect collects any payment on behalf of a university or for consultancy services, students will be informed of:

• The purpose of the payment.
• The amount payable.
• The payment method.
• Any applicable taxes or administrative charges.
• The applicable refund policy, if any.

Students are responsible for ensuring that payments are made accurately and within the deadlines specified by the university or other relevant authority.

Failure to make timely payments may result in:

• Delayed processing.
• Cancellation of admission.
• Loss of scholarship opportunities.
• Ineligibility for registration.
• Additional penalties imposed by the university.

Consultancy Fees

Certain LitConnect services may be offered free of charge, while others may require payment.

Where consultancy or administrative fees apply, students will be informed in advance before any payment is requested.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, consultancy fees cover only the services specifically agreed upon and do not include:

• University tuition fees.
• Visa application fees.
• Embassy charges.
• Health insurance.
• Accommodation fees.
• Flight tickets.
• Medical examinations.
• Courier charges.
• Government fees.
• Currency conversion charges.
• Bank transfer fees.

Students should carefully review any quotation or service agreement before making payment.

Refund Policy

Refund eligibility depends on the type of service provided and any separate agreement between LitConnect and the student.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Consultancy fees already earned for completed services are generally non-refundable.
• Administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the student may not be refundable.
• Payments made directly to universities are governed solely by the university's refund policy.
• Visa fees paid to embassies or government authorities are subject to their respective refund policies.

Refund requests, where applicable, should be submitted in writing together with supporting documentation.

Each request will be reviewed individually.

Approval of any refund remains subject to the applicable service agreement and relevant policies.

However, students acknowledge that admission decisions are made solely by the respective university.

Universities evaluate applications based on numerous factors, including:

• Academic performance.
• Course eligibility.
• Document verification.

Students acknowledge that:

• Visa decisions are made solely by embassies, consulates, or immigration authorities.
• Visa requirements may change without notice.
• Additional documents may be requested at any stage.

• Processing times vary between countries.

Although our counsellors assist students in preparing visa applications, LitConnect cannot guarantee:

Universities and government authorities may change their policies at any time.

These changes may include:

• Tuition fee revisions.
• Admission requirements.
• Visa regulations.
• Scholarship conditions.
• Accommodation policies.
