THIS ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING WHEN SIGNED BY THE STUDENT AND

ACCEPTED BY THE INSTITUTION. I understand that this is a legally binding contract. My signature below certifies that I have read, understood, and agreed to my rights and responsibilities and that the institution’s cancellation and refund policies have been clearly explained to me.

STUDENTS RIGHT TO CANCEL

You have the right to cancel your enrollment agreement for a program including any equipment such as books, materials, and supplies or any other goods related to the instruction offered in their enrollment agreement, on the first day of attending class or until midnight on the seventh calendar day after enrollment, whichever is later. 

Cancellation shall occur when you give written notice of cancellation at the address of American Heritage College shown on the top of the front page of this enrollment agreement. You can do this by certified mail, hand delivery, or email. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. The written notice of cancellation does not need to take any particular form and, however, expressed, it is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by the enrollment agreement. American Heritage College will use the date the withdrawal request is received as the official date of withdrawal.

NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED AT OUR INSTITUTION

The transferability of credits you earn at American Heritage College is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the certificate/diploma you earn in the educational program is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the credits or diploma that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution on to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason, you should make certain that your attendance at this institution (American Heritage College) will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending American Heritage College to determine if your credits or diploma will transfer. Students are advised that American Heritage College has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other college or university for the purpose of accepting the transfer of credit.

Student Refunds

American Heritage College applies a 60% pro-rata refund calculation for students who withdraw from their training before completing their program. Under a 60% pro-rata refund calculation, American Heritage College will retain only the percentage of charges proportional to the program completed up to 60% or less by the student. After completing more than 60% of the program, American Heritage College will retain 100% of the charges for the enrollment period. If at the time of a documented withdrawal from the Institute a student has completed less than 60% of a program, a student will be entitled to a refund within 45 days if the amount they have paid is greater than the amount they owe for nonrefundable fees, educational services rendered and for the documented cost of un-returned, damaged, or non-reusable equipment. If the amount the student owes is greater than the amount the student has already paid, then the student must make arrangements to pay it. A student’s prorated refund will be calculated by taking the total the student has paid, less the sum of non-refundable fees plus the cost of any services provided plus the documented cost of un-returned, damaged, or non-reusable equipment plus the product of the rate of instruction multiplied by the number of hours the student attended. The rate of instruction will be the quotient of dividing the total tuition contracted by the total number of clock hours contracted. If the proceeds of a loan or financial aid were used to pay for training the refund will be made to that source, up to the amount of disbursement.

Any additional amount will be returned to the student. A student will be liable for the amount if any, by which the amount of non-refundable fees, educational services rendered and the documented cost of un-returned, damaged, or non-reusable equipment exceeds the total of all payments. The documented cost of the equipment and services may be less than the amount charged or the amount the Institute has listed in the enrollment agreement. In any event, students will never be charged for more than the amount stated in their enrollment agreement. If the Institute has collected any money from a student for transmittal, on the student's behalf, to a third party for a bond, library usage, or fees for a license, application, or examination and the Institute has not paid the money to the third party at the time of the student's withdrawal or cancellation, the Institute will refund the money to the student within 45 days of the student's withdrawal or cancellation. A student will be liable for any amount of money that has been transmitted to a third party on the student’s behalf. For the purpose of determining a refund, a student shall be considered to have withdrawn from an educational program when he or she withdraws or is deemed withdrawn in accordance with the withdrawal policy stated in this catalog.

Return of Title IV Funds

Federal regulations state that the amount of a Title IV refund is based on the percentage of Title IV funds earned by the student at the time of withdrawal. In order to determine whether Title IV funds must be returned, the School must calculate the following:

1.The percentage of the payment period completed, which is determined by the number of days attended in the payment period divided by the total number of days in the payment period. (Note: “days” = calendar days for purposes of this formula and, therefore, includes weekends and holidays. Only scheduled breaks of five (5) days or more and approved leaves of absence (LOAs) are excluded.)

2. The amount of earned Title IV aid, which is determined by the net amount of Title IV funds disbursed and that could have been disbursed for the payment period multiplied by the percentage of the payment period completed.

3. The amount of Title IV to be returned, which is determined by subtracting the earned aid from the aid that was actually disbursed to, or on behalf of, the student. The institution will return the lesser of the total earned aid or the unearned institutional charges for the payment period. Unearned aid is allocated back to the Title IV programs in the following order, as specified by law:

I. Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program

ii. Direct Subsidized Loan Program

iii. Direct PLUS Program

If excess funds remain after repaying all outstanding loan amounts, the remaining excess shall be credited in the following order:

i. Federal Pell Grant Program

ii. Federal SEOG Program (if applicable)

iii. Other assistance awarded under this Title for which return of funds is required.

NOTE: After the institution has allocated the unearned aid, any amount owed by the student to a grant program is reduced by 50%. Unearned loan funds received by the student are paid back per the terms of the borrower’s promissory note.

 

Student Defaults: If the student defaults on a federal or state loan, both the following may occur:

The federal or state government or a loan guarantee agency takes action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the person is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan.

The student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government financial assistance until the loan is repaid.

Student Tuition Recovery Fund

The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents or are enrolled in a residency program attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:

1. The school closed before the course of instruction was completed.

2. The school's failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school.

3. The school's failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other costs.

4. There was a material failure to comply with the Act or this Division within 30 days before the school closed or if the material failure began earlier than 30 days prior to closure, the period determined by the Bureau. 5. An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for a violation of the Act."

You must pay the state-imposed assessment for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if all of the following applies to you:

1.You are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal loans, and

2.Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program, or another payer unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third party.

You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment if either of the following applies:

1. You are not a California resident or are not enrolled in a residency program, or

2. Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program, or another payer, and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party."
