Hypothetical Refund Example:

Assume that a student, upon enrollment in a 400-hour course, pays $2,000.00 for tuition, $100.00 for registration, and $150.00, documented cost to school, for equipment as specified in the enrollment agreement and withdraws after completing 100 hours without returning the equipment he/she obtained. The pro-rata refund to the student would be %1518.75 based on the calculation stated below. If the student returns he equipment in good condition within 10 days following his/her withdrawal, the school shall refund the charge for the equipment paid by the student.

$2100 amount paid for instruction

$75 registration fee (amount ($2000 tuition plusschool may $100 registration) equipment) X 300 hours of instruction = $1,518.75 paid for but not received 400 clock hours of instruction.

$1,518.75, Actual refund amount If the student returns the equipment in good condition, allowing for reasonable wear and tear, the actual refund to the student would be $1,668.75 ($1,518.75 plus $150.00
