Payment

We accept payments in the forms of direct bank transfers, credit card payments, or via PayPal. Further details on how to make payments will be given upon acceptance into the Core Programme.

Deposit

Upon acceptance into the Core Programme, students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of £ 500.00. This deposit will be deducted from the total tuition fee owed upon the first payment deadline.

Refund Policy

First term students are entitled to a full refund of their tuition (minus the non-refundable deposit) if they request it one month before the start of their first trimester. After their first trimester, students are required to give at least three month’s notice (three months prior to the start of the next trimester) if they decide to leave the programme. Should a student wish to terminate their studies after paying but within less than three months of the start of the next term, they will forfeit the entirety of fees already paid.

Admission Policy

At the Academy we are looking for dedicated students with a serious work ethic and willingness to learn. We encourage people of all skill levels to apply for our Core Programme. No previous degree or qualification in art is required to apply. As spaces are limited in the Core Programme, we will take students according to the merit of their portfolio and the content of their supporting materials. Please visit our Application page for more detailed information on how to apply.

Short Course registration policy

Admission for our short courses is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and requires no formal application. If a workshop fills up, you may elect to place yourself on the waiting list, in which case you will be notified should another spot become available.

Upon registration for a workshop, students must pay the course fee in full, which includes a 50% deposit to secure one’s place. All payments for our workshops must be made via PayPal through our online payment portal (or via bank transfer if specially arranged). The 50% deposit may be refunded to a student under certain circumstances of cancellation (see our Short Course Refund Policy below).

While we do not require formal applications for our short courses, we do expect all students who sign up to respect our studio’s Code of Conduct (see below), which students must read and agree to in order to complete their registration. Any student in breach of the studio’s Code of Conduct may be dismissed from the course without refund.

Short course Refund policy

In the event that The Glasgow Academy of Fine Art should cancel a workshop due to an issue on their end, students will be refunded in full (including their 40% deposit).

Should a student decide to cancel their tuition for any reason, refunds will be made according to the following timeline:

1. 6 weeks or more prior to the start of the workshop:

   Students are eligible for a refund (minus the 40% deposit)

2. Less than 6 weeks prior to the start of the workshop:

   Students will not be eligible for a refund.
