Can I get a refund if I fail the self-taught exam?

Yes According to the website of the Ministry of Education. According to the Notice of the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance on Several Issues Concerning Further Standardizing the Management of Education Fees in Colleges and Universities, the state provides the following regulations on tuition refund for self-taught students: after students pay tuition fees, colleges and universities should refund the remaining tuition fees on a monthly basis according to their actual study time. That is, the school should refund the remaining tuition fees to students according to their actual study time at school. Therefore, the self-study exam can only be withdrawn. Self-taught examination is a cooperative agreement reached by some colleges, provincial examination institutes and schools. Candidates need to pay a certain tuition fee, and the school arranges teachers to give lectures. The self-study exam is less difficult and the exam time is shorter, but they need to pay tuition.
