Tuition refund policy CCOM’s Refund Policy

CCOM’s refund policy has been constructed to balance students’ occasional needs to change their education plans with the college’s financial investment in providing the educational services required.
Students should be aware that timely notice of cancellation or withdrawal is essential to securing the maximum refund. Students must take care to notify the college as soon as possible regarding their intention either to cancel their enrollment contract or withdraw from the college.

Prior to Start of Classes

All monies paid by the student, including the application fee, will be refunded in full provided the student cancels within three business days (up to midnight of the third day excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) after the student received final written notice of acceptance or signed the enrollment agreement, whichever occurred last. Additionally, if the student withdraws after three business days, yet prior to the first day of classes, all monies paid will be refunded in full. All refunds will be made within ten business days of any notice of cancellation.
A student’s intent to withdraw may be written or provided orally. Written notices of withdrawal are recommended and should be addressed to:

Yili Guo
President / Chief Operating Officer
The Chicago College of Oriental Medicine
180 N. Michigan Ave,
Suite 1919
Chicago, IL, 60601

Cancellation Policy

A student’s enrollment agreement will be considered cancelled, and all monies paid by the applicant will be refunded if, prior to the beginning of classes:
1. The school did not provide the prospective student with a copy of the student’s valid enrollment agreement and a current catalog or bulletin;
2. The school cancels or discontinues the course of instruction in which the student has enrolled;
3. The school fails to conduct classes on days or times scheduled, detrimentally affecting the student;
4. The applicant presents medical evidence of inability to participate in the program;
5. The college does not accept the applicant;
6. The college cancels the agreement.
After Commencement of Class

If a student withdraws prior to the eight week of class, tuition will be calculated from the last date of attendance. A notification to withdraw may be either orally or in writing. The written withdrawal is preferred and should be mailed or delivered by hand to the attention of:
Yili Guo
President / Chief Operating Officer
The Chicago College of Oriental Medicine
180 N. Wabash Ave,
Suite 801
Chicago, IL, 60601

Students may also be withdrawn by the college for failing to attend class. This is a constructive withdrawal and occurs when a student fails to attend class for ten consecutive scheduled class days without providing an explanation regarding the absences to the college’s administration. The date of the tenth consecutive absence will be the date of withdrawal.
