Entry fee

Once we have received your registration, you will receive a confirmation email. Within 14 days of confirmation, you must pay a registration fee of DKK 2.500, which secures your place on the course and covers, among other things, excursions and the school's official t-shirt.

Payment in installments

Payment for the course is made in installments. Payment dates will be stated in the statement sent via email.

Payment

The full amount for the course must be paid before the course starts. If you live outside the European Union, you will have to pay the full amount before you can apply for a Visa

VISA – Countries outside the European Union

You will have to apply for a Visa to study at Ungdomshøjskolen ved Ribe. The visa application can be started no earlier than XNUMX months before the course starts – according to the rules of Danish Immigration Service. We will start your Visa application when you have paid the full amount for the course as well as a Visa fee, to cover the Visa application fee that the school pays on your behalf. If you cancel your stay prematurely, the costs for your Visa application will not be refunded. If you are denied a residence permit, the school will return the amount paid, except for the bank fee, administration fee and registration fee for Visa.

Study trip

We all go in a study trip each semester. This means that we travel and experience the world both in the autumn and in the spring. There is no extra payment for the study trip, as it is covered by the tuition fee.

Insurances

All students must ensure that they are insured adequately. Some subjects such as sports and outdoor life might require special insurance. The same might apply for the study trip. Please make sure that you have the required insurance before attending school.

Not going anyway?

In case of cancellation, the registration fee will not be refunded.
If you cancel less than a month before the start of the course, you will also be charged for 4 weeks of college.

If your stop prematurely

If you choose to stop the course prematurely, regardless the reason, you will pay for the weeks you have attended plus 4 weeks of extra school fees. Cancellation is calculated from the week the room is delivered in a clean condition, and the room key is returned to the højskole.

Folk High School is a committed community

It is important that we all function well together at the højskole. This means that everyone functions in everyday life, attending to the tasks and duties that come with living in a large household. This includes cleaning and kitchen duties. In the same way, it is important that everyone follow the general guidelines of the højskole, concerning respectful behavior and staying quiet during nighttime as well as respecting the rules on smoking, alcohol and drugs. If we find that you cannot be part of the community in an independent, stable and responsible way, we can choose to stop your stay. If you are signed out due to wrongful behavior, you will not get a refund for the rest of the course.
