Procedure for withdrawal/withdrawal date:
A student choosing to withdraw from the school after the commencement of classes is to provide written notice to the Director of the school. The notice is to indicate the expected last date of attendance and be signed and dated by the student.
For a student who is on authorized Leave of Absence, the withdraw date is the date the student was scheduled to return from the Leave and failed to do so.
A student will be determined to be withdrawn from the institution if the student has not attended any class for 6 consecutive class hours.
All refunds will be issued within 30 days of the determination of the withdrawal date less the $150.00 cancellation fee.
The student will receive a full refund of tuition and fees paid if the school discontinues a Program/Stand Alone course within a period of time a student could have reasonably completed it, except that this provision shall not apply in the event the school ceases operation.
Tuition charges/refunds:
Before the beginning of classes, the student is entitled to a refund of 100% of the tuition less the $150.00 cancellation fee.
After the commencement of classes, the tuition refund amount less less the $150.00 cancellation fee shall be determined as follows:
% of the clock hours attended: |
Tuition Refund amount: |
Within the first 10% of program |
90% less cancellation charge |
After 10% but within first 25% |
75% less cancellation charge |
After 25% but within first 50% |
50% less cancellation charge |
After 50% but within first 75% |
25% less cancellation charge |
After 75% |
NO Refund |
The percentage of the clock hours attended is determined by dividing the total number of clock hours elapsed from the student’s start date to the student’s last day of attendance, by the total number of clock hours in the program.
Timely Refund Payments: Refunds shall be paid within 30 days of the date of student notification, or date of school determination (withdrawn due to absences or other criteria as specified in the school catalog), or in the case of a student not returning from an authorized Leave of Absence (LOA), within 30 days of the date the student was scheduled to return from the LOA and did not return.
Previous Credit: The policy for granting credit for previous training shall not impact the refund policy.
The failure of a student to notify the director in writing of withdrawal may delay refund of tuition.
Books and Supplies:
There is no refund for any equipment and supplies received by the student. Fees for books and supplies are subject to cost change.
Special Cases:
In case of prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical for the student to complete the program, the school may make a settlement which is reasonable and fair (this language optional).
