• Year 1 students withdrawn up to 3 September 2024 will not be charged.
• Year 1 students withdrawn between the 4 September 2024 course start date
and the 1 Oct 2024 drop date will be charged a $483* admissions fee.

charged the full Year 1 tuition fees.
Note 2 (Course and Level Changes from 2 Oct 2024)
• Request requires a transfer review. The review will consider what catch-up
work is required to be performed by the student, whether this is achievable
and what additional teaching support is required.
• If the change is approved, then a minimum switch fee of $483* will apply
(it will be more if additional teaching support is required). There is just one
tuition fee (we don’t charge tuition fees for both courses).
• No fee will be charged if the change is not approved.
• If the Pamoja Academic team initiates a level change, then no switch fee will
apply.

Note 3 (Late Starters and Y1 Transfer Students)
• Request requires a transfer review. The review will consider what catch-up
work is required to be performed by the student, whether this is achievable
and what additional teaching support is required.
• If the transfer is approved, then a minimum transfer fee of $483* will apply (it
will be more if additional teaching support is required) in addition to the full
tuition fee.
• No fee will be charged if the transfer is not approved.
• If a transfer student withdraws at any stage after enrolment then the full
tuition fee and the full transfer fee remains payable.
Note 4 (SBC Orientation)
The Site-based Coordinator (SBC) Orientation is a free short self-paced
orientation course designed to familiarise SBCs with the navigation of our
Pamoja Online Courses platform, as well as the main concepts and online tools
that they will need to utilise to best support students in their online course.

There is a strong correlation between successful students and SBCs who have
completed their training. It is therefore a contractual requirement that all SBCs
complete their training.

Note 4 (IBIS registration)

• It is the IB World School’s Diploma Programme Coordinator’s responsibility
to register Y2 Pamoja Online Courses students as online candidates on the
International Baccalaureate system IBIS ahead of the May examinations, or
inform us in writing that the student will not be registered at all on IBIS since
they are not sitting the final examinations.
• Failure to successfully register students as online candidates on IBIS results
in significant additional work for Pamoja, and ultimately can result in the
candidate not completing their IB DP.

 Special considerations
Pamoja students moving schools
If a Pamoja student moves to another IB World School during the academic
year, the new school will not be charged unless the original school has not paid.
Overall there will only be one tuition fee.

Medical exceptions
In the case where a student has had to leave their Pamoja Online Course due
to medical conditions, the fee charged can be reviewed and if specific criteria
met, can be partially refunded. Approval required from the Pamoja Senior
Management team.

Extended Essay
Please refer to the quote provided by your Business Development Consultant to
find out the total amount of Pamoja Online Courses Extended Essay fees your
school will be charged.

The Pamoja Online Courses Extended Essay (EE) fee is chargeable from
enrolment and non-refundable.

The student must be taking a Pamoja Online Courses course with us to be

eligible for Pamoja Online Courses Extended Essay.

The Extended Essay must be in a subject where we offer a Pamoja Online

Courses course (but the student does not have to be taking that course with us,
so, for example, a student taking Pamoja Online Course Mathematics: Analysis
and Approaches HL could do an Extended Essay in Psychology). Subject to
approval by the Pamoja Academic team.

An additional Extended Essay fee will be charged in case of a change of Pamoja

Online Courses EE subject.

We reserve the right not to accept EE requests where we do not have teacher
capacity.

Invoicing frequently asked questions
When are invoices published?
• Invoices are emailed to the school billing contact from mid-October 2024.
• A weekly invoicing run is performed as required following the initial invoicing
run.
What forms of payment are accepted?
• Our preferred method of payment is Bank Transfer. We will also accept
Mastercard and Visa Credit and Debit Card payments and can also take
cheques.
• At this stage, we do not accept American Express or PayPal payment.

What are the payment terms?

• Payments are due 30 days after the invoice date.
• The contract and therefore financial liability is with the school due to our
agreements with the examination boards. Schools are therefore invoiced and
it is their responsibility to pay.
• Schools are still accountable to pay if a school passes payment onto their
students/parents.
• Invoices are raised against each school cohort and cannot be raised for
individual students.
• Student reports will be withheld owing to any unpaid invoices.

services.
