| Tuition refund policy |
Refund Policy If a student withdraws or is dismissed from his/her program, or if the enrollment agreement or application is otherwise terminated provided the school is notified of the cancellation, a refund will be issued according to the following schedule: 1. A student who withdraws before the first class and after the 5-day cancellation period shall be obligated for the registration fee. 2. A student who starts class and withdraws during the first full calendar week of the academic term shall be obligated for twenty-five percent of the tuition and refundable fees for that academic term plus the registration fee. 3. A student who withdraws the second full calendar week of the academic term shall be obligated for fifty percent of the tuition and refundable fees for that academic term plus the registration fee. 4. A student who withdraws during the third full calendar week of the academic term shall be obligated for seventy-five percent of the tuition and refundable fees for that academic term plus the registration fee. 5. A student who withdraws beginning the fourth full calendar week of the academic term will not be entitled to a refund of any portion of the tuition and fees. The school shall make the appropriate refund within thirty days of the date the school is able to determine that a student has withdrawn or has been terminated from a program. Refunds shall be based upon the last date of the student’s attendance or participation in an academic school activity. A student is entitled to a refund of the application fee provided the school is notified of the cancellation of application in writing within five (5) calendar days of paying the application fee. In the case of documented student illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student, the student will be entitled to special consideration that may be less than that stated by the refund policy. When notice of cancellation or withdrawal is given after the student’s completion of the first day of class attendance the school will return tuition and other instructional charges in accordance with below table.
