Document background
The Enrollment Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Austrian educational institutions to formalize the relationship between the institution and prospective students. It serves as the primary contract governing the educational services provided, incorporating requirements from Austrian civil law, education regulations, consumer protection legislation, and data protection laws. This document is essential when admitting new students, whether for traditional classroom-based education or distance learning programs. The agreement outlines program details, financial obligations, academic policies, and student rights while ensuring compliance with Austrian legal requirements, including mandatory withdrawal periods and consumer protection provisions. It's particularly important for maintaining clear documentation of the terms agreed upon between the institution and student, and may require additional provisions for international students or specialized programs.
