Admission · Study rules · Fees · Cancellation · Questions
1. The institution and your agreement
SANTS Business School is the new name used for the business education offered by BMT College. The current 2026 prospectus identifies Business Management Training College (Pty) Ltd (company registration number 2005/011378/07) as the registered institution. The legal contracting name and trading style must be confirmed in the final registration agreement.
The programme information, policies, code of conduct and fee schedule provided with your application should be read together. If a document is updated, the version and effect on your registration should be communicated to you. A link to the applicable prospectus and fee schedule should be available before you submit the form.
2. Application and admission
You must supply accurate identity, academic, contact and funding information and supporting documents. Admission depends on the requirements of the particular qualification and confirmation by the institution. Applying does not by itself guarantee a place or access to the Virtual Campus.
Once your application is accepted and any required documents and initial payment are confirmed, your registration and study access will be processed. You must tell us promptly if your contact, identity or banking details change. Applicants under 18 must have the required parent or guardian involvement in the agreement.
3. Study access and equipment
Programmes are delivered online through the Virtual Campus. You need a suitable computer, reliable internet connection and a webcam when required for learning or assessment. Your own connection and device costs are your responsibility.
Study guides and available electronic resources are provided online. Printed guides and prescribed books may carry separate costs where the fee schedule says so. Keep your login details private and use the platform in accordance with its rules.
4. Programme rules, schedules and extensions
Follow the assignment schedule for your intake and the programme rules shown in your applicable prospectus and student guide. Programme duration, maximum completion period, progression requirements, extension requests and any extension fee must be checked against the documents that apply to your registration.
If circumstances affect your ability to submit on time, contact the academic team before the deadline. Extensions are not automatic and must be approved under the published process. The current registration wording does not allow study breaks between academic years; this provision requires confirmation for the new intake.
5. Assessment, academic integrity and materials
Submit assessments through the Virtual Campus in the required format and by the applicable deadline. Your work must be your own, with sources acknowledged and any use of AI tools or outside assistance following the current academic integrity policy.
Assessment outcomes and appeals are governed by the published academic policies and procedures. Course materials remain subject to copyright and may be used for your studies only. Any use of a student’s work, photograph or story for publication should be handled under the relevant consent and intellectual property terms.
6. Fees and payment plans
Your total fees, registration fee, payment method, instalment dates and any separate charges are set out in the fee schedule and payment option you accept. View Fees and Funding and request a copy of the applicable fee schedule before registering.
You remain responsible for amounts due under your agreement even when an employer or sponsor contributes, unless the institution accepts a different written arrangement. Tell us early if you cannot make a payment so the accounts team can explain the available process.
The current 2026 prospectus describes debit orders as interest-free, while the older registration wording refers to credit assessments, finance charges and credit bureau reporting. The final terms must state which payment options, assessments and charges actually apply before this page is published.
7. Cancellation and refunds
To request cancellation, obtain and complete the official Cancellation Application Form from student administration or the Virtual Campus, and submit it in writing. Ask for written acknowledgement and a statement showing the amount due or refundable.
The current 2026 prospectus describes a five-day no-penalty period, a 14-day period with the registration fee payable, and one calendar month’s notice with a pro-rata calculation after 14 days. The current registration form describes a narrower five-business-day right and uses “admission” instead of “registration” for the 14-day start date. These provisions must be reconciled in the final agreement. Any statutory cancellation rights continue to apply.
A cancellation fee or refund calculation should be explained in writing with reference to the applicable contract, services already supplied and relevant law. Do not assume that stopping study or payment automatically cancels the agreement.
8. Payment difficulties and study access
If an account falls into arrears, the institution may contact you about payment arrangements and may take steps permitted by the agreement and law. Any restriction of access, results or progression, late charge or collection process must follow the final accepted terms and applicable law.
The older wording includes automatic acceleration of the full balance, default penalties and attorney-and-client collection costs. Those provisions need specific legal and operational approval before being carried into a new registration agreement.
9. Sponsorship and personal information
If an employer or another sponsor pays towards your studies, the funding arrangement should identify who is responsible for payment and what information may be shared. Academic records should only be shared with a sponsor where there is a lawful basis and the scope is clear to the student.
We process application and student information as explained in the Privacy Policy. Payment, identity and academic information should be submitted through the approved channels.
10. Questions, complaints and updates
If you have a question about admission, assessments, your account or a decision, contact the relevant team promptly. The student guide explains the academic appeal and grievance processes, including the forms and timeframes that apply.
These public terms are intended to make the registration process understandable. The final contract should identify the governing South African law, formal notice details and the version of each incorporated document. We will date the published version when the terms are approved.
