Disgusted with UCTONLINE High School service !

So disappointed in the service! I registered my two daughters onto the high school, one child was approved the other one was placed on condition her report was submitted, we had an issue with the report at her previous school but managed to get it after the deadline for enrolment and her application was revoked . I was promised a refund for the Jan fees I paid , and no refund for the non refundable placement and registration fee which I understand. I was paid 500 and confirmed by a Nontombi at that office, for the placement fee and not the school fees after 3 weeks of sending emails for a refund and calling their offices was torture as the call was placed on auto que. Enquiring about my proper refund was frustrating as i would get an automated email saying they have a high number of refunds to process , yet the lady named Laylee promised on email that my refund would be placed on priority , that was over a week ago. I regret placing my other daughter at this school as she is also not coping with the workload and is even sleeping till late hours. I am still fighting for the school fees of R2195 paid in Jan. I was not expecting to receive a non refundable placement fee of R500!!! Do not send your children to this school !

Hi Liyanda, 
We are sorry to hear about your frustrations regarding the delay in your refund for January. We have been informed that this process has now been completed by our finance department.

Our bigger concern is to do with your daughter currently at our school. Your daughter's Success Coach has reached out to you since the above review to offer her support to both you and your daughter. We would love to offer you the best possible service but in order to do so we will need your daughter to start attending the daily live sessions set up with her Success Coach that ensure that learners are getting the necessary support to their questions and queries that they may be uncertain about and do not fall behind. 

We would like to remind you to please make use of your Success Coach guardian engagement calls should you have any further questions or concerns relating to your daughter and the support available to her whilst at UCT Online High School and that she also reach out to her Success Coach whenever she us struggling with anything in particular.  

All the best,
The UCT Online High School Team

Hello,

Your response is noted, however I was told my refund would be R500 and even got a confirmation email, then I queried why would I only get R500 , this I was told was the placement fee, but I had paid R2195 as well. Then I was only refunded R2195.....not sure is this is correct? I have sat with the coach and had a indepth meeting.
