Tuition refund policy TUITION REFUND POLICY:

Chicago Professional Center provides fair and equitable adjustment to all students. If the student is entitled to a refund, the refund must be paid within 30 calendar days of the student’s official date of termination.

1) An applicant to the school who is rejected will receive a full refund.
2) An applicant whose class is cancelled will receive a full refund.
3) All monies paid by an applicant will be refunded if the applicant cancels within five business days (except Sundays and holidays) following the date the contract is signed or an initial payment is made, as long as the applicant has not begun training.
4) If the applicant cancels after the fifth business day after signing the contract or making initial payment, but prior to attending class, the school will refund monies paid by the applicant.
5) A student who has not visited the school facility prior to enrollment will have the opportunity to withdraw within three days following either attendance at a regularly scheduled orientation or following a tour of the school facilities and inspection of equipment with a full refund.
6) The school reserves the right to cancel a class start date due to insufficient enrollment. If this occurs, the student may request a full refund of all monies paid or apply all monies paid to the next scheduled class start date.

When calculating refunds, the official date of a student’s termination is the last date of recorded attendance:

1) When notification of withdrawal or cancellation is received in writing on an official CPC Enrollment Form.
2) When the student is dismissed for a violation of a published school policy.
3) When a student, without notice, fails to attend class for three consecutive days.

The term “period of enrollment for which the student has been charged” is determined by dividing the total number of days that make up the period of enrollment for which the student has been charged into the number of days remaining in that period. Termination date for adjustment computation is the last recorded date of student attendance.
The following schedule is used to calculate refunds:

If the student completes School refunds
this amount of training: to student:
Through the first 10% 90%
10% through 25% 75%
25% through 60% 50%
More than 60% 0%
