From the late fee date, the entry (subject or unit) fee is doubled. The entry fee is trebled from the high late fee date. Amendment fees will be charged if you change a subject/unit option or tier from the high late fee date. You will not incur a fee for changing candidate details (such as name amendments) unless a certificate has been issued. Amendment fees are usually double the cost of a unit or subject entry fee (in addition to the original entry fee)..3 Late cash-in fees A fee is charged for any cash-in request made after the entry deadline..4 Refunds Any subject or unit fee will be refunded automatically up to the high late fee deadline. If you withdraw an entry after this deadline, no refund will be issued without supporting medical evidence. If a late entry is withdrawn by the high late fee deadline, only the entry fee is refunded.
