Unopened books in good condition must be returned to receive refund for books, opened books may not be returned/refunded.
After commencement of program, the tuition refund, minus fees for registration, materials and books, will be calculated as follows:
% of clock hours attempted:
10% or less = 90% tuition refund amount
More than 10% and less than or equal to 20% = 80% tuition refund amount
More than 20% and less than or equal to 30% = 70% tuiition refund amount
More than 30% and less than or equal to 40% = 60% tuiition refund amount
More than 40% and less than or equal to 50% = 50% tuiition refund amount
More than 50% = NO REFUND
The percentage of the clock hours attempted is determined by dividing the total number of 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.
