b) An amount that is in the Board's opinion an appropriate reflection of the use made by 1 student receiving tuition in the subject ,course or programme of the Board's capital facilities:
c) The approximate proportion of the amount (if any prescribed,under section 4D of this Act for a student receiving tuition at a state school in the subject,course or programme.
d)All other fees (if any) prescribed by the Board.
In order to be eligble for any refund the student must apply in writing to the Board of Trustees, setting out the special circumstances of the claim. In arriving at their decision of the Board of Trustees will take into consideration the special circumstances of the withdrawing student and

c)An amount covers the use of the facilities and resources to date of withdrawal,
