EA Student Referral Rewards Program Terms & Conditions

ABOUT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By registering and paying student fees, or deposit (for payment plans), the EA Student agrees to the below Terms and Conditions. EA may revise or amend these Terms and Conditions at any time at our discretion by posting revised terms on this website. Such revisions will be effective immediately.

If you continue to be an EA Student after any revision becomes effective, you agree to be bound by these revised Terms and Conditions. As such it is recommended that you visit this page periodically to ensure you are aware of the current Terms and Conditions to which you are bound.

(1) The EA Student warrants that by accepting these Terms and Conditions, he/she is not in breach of any other contractual or legal obligations;

(2) The EA Student will:

  • Please note: the EA Student will receive a flat commission rate of 20% for each enrolment regardless of the enrolment number if the referral is an introduction of the student ONLY i.e. EA’s Partner Agent handles the enquiry from the initial introduction, captures and data enters the student’s details into the Customer Relationship Management system, completes all paperwork and follow-up for the application and enrolment; and converts the student.
  • Enrolment number will be calculated based on the enrolment date. For example, if a student was referred to EA and our Partner Agency in October 2019 and commences her study in February 2020, this student will be considered as an enrolment for year 2020.
  • If one student is enrolled in several different courses, it will only be considered as another enrolment if the course is from a different level. For example, if Alice is successfully enrolled in February 2019 General English course, April 2019 EAP course, June 2019 IELTS Preparation course, August 2019 Diploma course and July 2020 Bachelor course, the number of enrolments will be two in 2019 (English + Diploma) and one in 2020 (Bachelor).
