We are a Christian Lasallian School, in an international setting and our entrance criteria reflect our aim to ensure a balanced intake for our school which acknowledges our ethos and heritage.

We hope to enroll students who are able to fully participate in the life of the school, in accordance with our mission statement. We review all our applications against the criteria below to ensure that we maintain within our student enrolment the best possible balance of students whilst recognizing the principles and values of our mission. There are typically many more eligible applicants than there are places available, therefore we consider a variety of considerations when allocating places. These considerations are:

​

Academic Ability

We are academically selective, and all students must pass a period of observation assessment online using our website registered student portal. As a student of Mulungushi you must be able to finish the first week’s study and pass your first week's online course on your dashboard during your first preparation, this include knowing how to access and open all the study steps online and interacting and sharing videos and other library material with other students in the groups on the dashboard.

 

Dashboard

The first week’s program is a full computerized and written assessment and interview with lecturers. Please if you can’t afford a laptop be at liberty to use your Phone. We are not able to admit a wide spectrum of learning needs (including English as a second language) as we have limited resources to support them.

Ability and desire to learn

We will admit students who will be able to make the most of the opportunities that we have on offer. Students must demonstrate good behaviour and be able to participate fully in the online classroom without fail.

 

English language

We teach in English, all students must be fully fluent in the English language, written and spoken. This is assessed as part of our entrance assessments.

At Mulungushi Central we acknowledge alumni, returning students and Board recommendations when considering applications.

If you are buying online your credit or debit card will be debited when you click Submit Order.  Although you will see an online confirmation page and receive an email acknowledging that your order has been received and is being processed, the contract between us is not formed at this point.  A legally binding contract is formed on the date we send you an Order Confirmation via email or post.  We will not be responsible if you do not receive the Order Confirmation because you have supplied us with an incorrect email or postal address.

3. Processing Orders

1. We normally take payment on submission of an order.  But, if we agree to invoice instead, the invoice will become due for payment 30 days from the date on the invoice. If no payment has been made after 30 days, we reserve the right to suspend the subscription service until we are in receipt of cleared funds. You will remain liable for the full amount on the invoice. You acknowledge and accept that we shall be entitled to charge interest on any outstanding balance owed to us accruing on a daily basis from the date that the invoice became due for payment.

2. We reserve the right not to accept or process your order for any reason. All orders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your payment card issuer. Where we do not accept or process your order we will notify you in writing and where your credit card or debit card has already been debited, we will refund your payment within 30 days.

3. We reserve the right not to fulfil, and to cancel, orders if we are unable to obtain payment authorisation from the issuer of your payment card or cheque, or in the event of obvious inaccuracies in prices, or if sanctions are imposed on your country of residence or the country where you access or receive our content.

4. All payments by Direct Debit are covered by the safeguards assured by the direct debit guarantee.  If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your payment MCHC will notify you at least 10 working days in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed. If you request MCHC to collect a payment, confirmation of the amount and date will be given to you at the time of the request. If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit by MCHC or your bank or building society you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society. If you receive a refund you are not entitled to, you must pay it back immediately on request when MCHC notifies you.  You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by contacting your bank or building society.  Written confirmation may be required. Please also notify MCHC of your cancellation. Except as set out in these terms and conditions, your cancellation shall be without prejudice to your obligation to pay the subscription fee.

4. Marketing

1. We include all multi-user organisational customers in our customer success programme.  You acknowledge and accept that we have the right to use your company name as part of on-going marketing and public relations for this programme.  These announcements will not be disparaging or otherwise adverse to your business.

5. Renewal

1. To ensure you or people in your organisation have uninterrupted access to our content, your subscription contract shall automatically renew for 12 months on each anniversary of the Order Confirmation (“Renewal Date”) unless we receive prior notice of cancellation at least 60 days before the next Renewal Date.

2. Subject to Clause 4.4, we shall be entitled to increase the subscription fee with effect from each renewal date by an amount equal to the greater of 3% or the Retail Prices Index in the preceding 12 month period. We shall give you 90 days prior written notice of any other price increase. Your continued use of the content shall constitute your acceptance of the increased subscription fee. References to the subscription fee shall be deemed to refer to the increased subscription fee Retail Prices Index means (all items, excluding mortgages) as published by the Office for National Statistics from time to time, or failing such publication, that other index as the parties may agree most closely resembles such index.

6. 30 day money back guarantee

1. We want you to be sure that you have made the right decision to subscribe. You may cancel your contract by contacting us within 30 days of the date of the Order Confirmation.

2. To cancel a multi-user subscription, call +260 215224170. To cancel an individual user subscription, call +260 974250854. Cancelling your direct debit instruction does not cancel your contract with us.

3. If you cancel your subscription within the 30 day period we will refund the price of all remaining weeks/unsent issues left in your subscription for which we have received payment.

7. User details

1. You shall, and shall ensure that your users shall keep secure their password used to access our digital content. You shall immediately notify us of any known or suspected unauthorised access to our digital content of which you are aware, or if any of your users shares their user email address and password with anyone. We reserve the right to suspend access to digital content if we suspect access details have been shared with a third party, pending investigation.

2.

8. Contract term and refund policy

1. Unless cancelled as set out above, all subscription contracts are for a minimum 12 month period, including subscriptions which begin with introductory rates. Payments by monthly or quarterly instalments do not infer a monthly or quarterly subscription.

2. Even if you cancel your subscription in accordance with Clause 6.1, we will issue refunds only in accordance with cancellations made under Clause 7. Cancelling your direct debit instruction does not cancel your contract with us.

3. We may terminate your subscription immediately without a refund if you breach any of these terms and conditions.

9. Delay in delivery and non-delivery

1. We will not be liable to you for any delay in delivery or non-delivery of your subscription in the following circumstances: (a) where your bank or the issuer of your payment card or cheque refuses to authorise payment to us; or you have not paid by the due date when you have been invoiced; (b) if sanctions are imposed on your country of residence or the country where you access or receive our content; and/or (c) where such delay or non-delivery is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (or the reasonable control of our sub-contractors and agents), including but not restricted to, war, electricity power failure, utilities failure, failure of telecommunications links, failure of transport infrastructure, failure of postal services, fire, flood, government act, act of God, legislative constraints, strikes, labour disputes or malicious damage involving employees.
