Refund Policy

Request for cancellation of registration and refund of registration fee must be made in writing, and faxed or emailed to the HPAT-Ulster Office. HPAT-Ulster fees will be refunded on request up until 5p.m. GMT on 28 January 2011.

The administrative charge for this is £30. There is no possibility of a refund after this date. There is no penalty, other than the loss of your fee, if you register for the test but do not sit.

ACER uses a security carrier for its online payment functions to act as its interface with the banking system. Credit card and accompanying personal details are not recorded or stored by ACER but are encrypted at point of capture and transmitted direct to the bank. Thus you can be assured this is a safe payment option.

If you have a disability (e.g. physical, visual, hearing), medical condition or other impairment which means the standard manner in which the test is set up requires change, ACER can make the appropriate arrangements if you inform us as soon as possible. Examples of the types of allowances that can be made are additional time for the test, assistance with access to test rooms, and enlarged test papers.

HPAT-Ulster is available at the three University of Ulster campuses in Coleraine, Jordanstown and Magee. You will be asked to select your preferred test centre when you complete the online registration form. You should nominate one centre only.

If you have any queries about payment or the registration process, you may contact the HPAT-Ulster Office by email. You will also receive important emails from the HPAT-Ulster Office.
