Institutional Recognition
Unicaf Limited and its partner institutions, inclusive of Unicaf University and
affiliates, offer degree programmes which are recognised or registered and/or and

recognition of your programme. Unicaf Ltd takes no responsibility for recognition
of any of the qualifications offered by any of its partner universities by any local

Jurisdiction
These Terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus
without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Any dispute arising

Data protection
We will process Your Data only in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy
Notice.
Agreement
By accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by the following regulations and
publications which together form your contract with the Company:
Participation agreement
You will notify Academic Affairs of any changes to the information which
you have submitted on application or enrolment; for example, if you change
your address;
You will participate fully in those activities which are described in each
module as essential;
You will inform the Module Leader if circumstances oblige you to miss any
of those essential activities and give details of the relevant circumstances to
the Module Leader;
You wish to have your performance assessed according to the approved
procedures;
You will observe and meet the deadlines and timetable prescribed for each
module;
Failure to participate adequately in the essential activities may lead to
termination of your enrolment on your programme of study. You may be
invited to explain your failure to participate before termination on the
programme occurs. Failure to engage in this process will be considered to be
withdrawal.
You will follow all the rules and regulations of the programme or institution
you are studying under.
E-Submission
The intellectual property in the assessments that you do will normally be owned by
you (see Intellectual Property Rights Policy).
The Company may require you to submit certain pieces of work by way of E-
Submission. The E-Submission system may use the Turnitin platform (or any other
suitable platform or service), and work that you submit may be used by Turnitin
(or such other platform or service as may be applicable) for the purpose of
checking the originality both of your work and other students' work. By agreeing to
this terms and conditions you agree that your work may be used in this way.
By making the Student Declaration you agree that it may be used in this way, and
additionally that:
The sources of information and material you have used in the preparation of your
work, including those obtained online, have been fully identified and properly
acknowledged (as stipulated by the relevant writing style employed in your
programme of study);
If there is suspicion of unfair practice the Company reserves the right to follow due
process and investigate in accordance to the regulations of the partner University.
Criminal convictions
By accepting these Terms you are confirming that you have no unspent criminal
convictions (excluding motoring offences). If this is not the case you must notify
the Company prior to enrolment so that the Company can consider whether such
convictions are compatible with participating in the Company's Services.
Student ID
The validation period of a Student ID is subject to the level of the programme that
the student is enrolled (i.e. for undergraduate programmes the Student ID validity
is for 5 years from the date of issue, and for postgraduate programmes the validity
is for a period of 3 years). Students should pay the cost of the student ID which is
set to the amount of 20 USD.
Despite the percentage of scholarship that a student may receive (100% and/or
less), there are specific fees that are not covered by any percentage of scholarship.
Such fees include the Application Fee, the Graduation Fees, the Transcript Fees
and any other extra fees where commonly as a practice cannot be covered by the
Scholarship (e.g. Graduation Ceremony Fees and/or Seminar Fees). The applicant
and/or the student shall pay the foregoing since they are not subject to the
scholarships. The retake fees are calculated according to the initial cost of the
module and the percentage of the scholarship granted. If a student is awarded a
100% scholarship the retake fee will be 50% of the initial cost of the respected
Module.
In order for you to receive your Award you must clear all your financial
obligations to the Company including any administrative fees added upon
completion of your programme of study.
When making any payment to the Company it is essential that you let us know
what the payment relates to (for example tuition fees, application fees, etc.). This is
to enable the Company to correctly allocate your payment against your various
accounts. If you do not tell us what a particular payment relates to we will use
reasonable efforts to contact you at the address, email address or telephone number
you have provided to ascertain what the payment relates to. If we cannot contact
you in this way within a reasonable period of time, we will automatically allocate
your payment to the tuition fees.
