If you've found the course you want but it’s full, don't worry! This happens often, especially with Saturday courses. DON’T PAY the tuition fees and GET ON the waitlist! If a course has an online waitlist it will be listed on the Course Selection table (visit the Registration for Language Classes page). Waitlists exist for some courses, and allow you to “get in line” for the next available space that may come available – if a seat becomes available. If you're at the top of the wait list, and a spot becomes available, you will receive an email advising you have 24 hours to register online and pay the tuition fees. If you miss your window of time to register in the course, you will be removed from the wait list, and the next person on the wait list will have the opportunity to add the course. 

Tips to avoid waitlist:

• Try to find another class from the Course Schedule

If another section of the same course is available, register for it. You may need to rearrange your schedule, but if it’s a required course it might be your best option.

Athens Business Confucius Institute requires a minimum number of students to open a class. We will run a course once the minimum number of 8 students is enrolled. It is possible to operate classes with fewer participants. In that case, the teaching hours will be reduced accordingly (on a case-by-case basis).

Tuition fees are non-refundable and non-transferable from one year to another or from one person to another in the event of discontinuation, withdrawal or non-attendance.
