9-10. Cancellation, Withdrawal and Termination:

Cancellations
Enrollment fee refund policy upon cancellation: An applicant is entitled to a refund of the Enrollment fee (also known as application fee) under the following conditions after signing the enrollment agreement: A request for cancellation can be done in any matter, including verbally, in person, or in writing to the School Director and/or Program Coordinator. An applicant’s enrollment fee and all other tuition and expenses paid to the School are fully refundable if the applicant requests cancellation of his or her Enrollment Agreement within five (5) calendar days after signing the Agreement and no classes have been attended.

After five (5) calendar days of signing the enrollment agreement and prior to the applicant beginning class, the application/ enrollment fee will be retained by the School. If the applicant begins class within five (5) calendar days of paying the enrollment fee then the enrollment fee becomes non-refundable at commencement of the class.

Tuition fees or any/all other expenses paid to the school besides the Enrollment fee: Students canceling at any point following the date of enrollment but prior to the beginning of classes shall receive a one-hundred percent (100%) refund of all tuition and fees paid up to the date of cancellation (if any). Enrollment fee refunds will be carried out under the previously listed policy above.

Withdrawals (once class begins) 

Withdrawal from school policy: Students completing up to and including ten percent (10%) of the total clock hours of the Program will receive a ninety percent (90%) refund of the total tuition cost of the program minus any book or additional fees paid. This refund will be calculated based on the total amount of tuition paid to the School for the Program up to the point of withdrawal. 

Students withdrawing from or discontinuing the Program after the first ten (10%) of the Program but within the first twenty-five (25%) of the Program will receive fifty-five percent (55%) refund of the total tuition cost of the program minus any book or additional fees paid. This refund will be calculated based on the total amount of tuition paid to the School for the Program up to the point of withdrawal. 

Students withdrawing from or discontinuing the Program after the first twenty-five percent (25%) of the Program but within fifty percent (50%) of the Program will receive a thirty percent (30%) refund of the total tuition cost of the program minus any book or additional fees paid. This refund will be calculated based on the total amount of tuition paid to the School for the Program up to the point of withdrawal. 

Students withdrawing from or discontinuing the Program after the first fifty percent (50%) of the Program will not receive a refund of any kind. 

Withdrawal or discontinuing the Program can be made in any manner, such as in person, over the telephone, or simply through non-attendance. The refund due to a student will be calculated based on the last day of attendance. 

Non-attendance: students can also withdraw and/or be terminated from the program without notification through non-attendance. If the student ceases attending courses, the student will be considered withdrawn and/or terminated from the course after 2 calendar days of instruction. In this case, the refund will still be calculated based on the last day of attendance. 

Additional fees: All additional fees paid to the program (such as make-up hours, books, uniform, or tutoring fees) are non-refundable. 

Rejection: Any student that is rejected or not accepted into initial class enrollment because they did not meet the entry requirements to enroll in the course by the school (such as an unacceptable background check or failing the entrance exam) are entitled to a refund of all monies paid to the school, including the enrollment fee. Please note that rejection is separate from a student failing to complete paperwork and entry requirements (such as a student failing to complete paperwork, background check, or tuberculosis and screening test in a timely manner, etc.), and in this case the regular refund schedule applies and the enrollment fee is kept by the school.

The above stated refund policies will also apply to students who are terminated from the Program including sponsoring agencies. Refund checks will be mailed to the payer of the tuition within thirty (30) days of the last day of recorded attendance by the student.
