Course fees

The fees consist of the enrolment charge of € 150.– (which will be retained in case of cancellation) and a tuition fee which varies according to the length of the course (€ 230.– per week/reduced fee € 150.–). The fee for the course of Juan A. Gaitan and Maria Lind is € 450.- (reduced € 350.-). Students are entitled to the reduced fee on production of a valid confirmation of enrolment at an educational institution for the 2012 summer term.

It is not generally possible to attend a course for only one week. Students attending two consecutive courses pay the enrolment fee only once; the course fee is calculated according to the total number of weeks.

Payment

On acceptance, the enrolment charge of € 150.– should be paid immediately into the following account:

Internationale Sommerakademie für Bildende Kunst Salzburg
Salzburger Landes-Hypothekenbank AG,
Residenzplatz 7, 5020 Salzburg, Austria,
account no. 2 516 046, sort code 55000,
IBAN: AT09 5500 0000 0251 6046, BIC / SWIFT: SLHYAT2S

Payments will be accepted using the following credit cards: Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diners Club and JCB International.

The tuition fee (see course fee above, minus the € 150.– enrolment charge already paid) must be entered in the Summer Academy account by 30 June 2012. Definitive acceptance for the course is dependent on payment having been received.

Enrolment for non-Schengen citizens requiring a visa for Austria

To obtain a visa, an “electronic letter of intent” (EVE document) is necessary. After receiving notification of acceptance from the teacher, the Summer Academy has to apply to the Immigration Authority in Salzburg for an electronic code number, which will be forwarded to the student. With this identification number and other relevant documents, the student can apply to the Austrian Embassy in his own country for a visa.

For the EVE document, we require the following details from the student:
surname, first name(s) as in passport, address, gender, date and place of birth, nationality, passport number, name and address of the appropriate Austrian Embassy (passport and visa department).

Enrolment assumes acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions.
