Refund after the commencement of classes
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 school director/administrator or designee. The notice indicates the expected last date of attendance and be signed and dated by the student.
- For a student on authorized Leave of Absence (LOA), the withdrawal date is when 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- A student will be determined to be withdrawn from the institution if the student has not attended any class for 25 instructional days. All refunds will be issued within 30 days of the determination of the withdrawal date.
Tuition charges/refund
- Before the beginning of classes, the student is entitled to a refund of 100% of the tuition minus the registration fee of $25.00.
- After the commencement of classes, the tuition refund minus the registration fee of $25.00. will be determined as follows:
| % of instructional days attempted in the quarter | Tuition refund amount: |
| 10% or less | 90% |
| More than 10% and less than or equal to 20% | 80% |
| More than 20% and less than or equal to 30% | 70% |
| More than 30% and less than or equal to 40% | 60% |
| More than 40% and less than or equal to 50% | 50% |
| More than 50% | No Refund is required |
The percentage of instructional days attempted in the quarter is determined by dividing the total number of days elapsed from the student’s start date by the student’s last day of attendance by the total number of days in the quarter.
Example:12 (number of days attempted) ÷ 50 (total instructional days) = 24% of instructional days attempted in the quarter; therefore, a 70% refund is owed to the student
Refunds will be issued within 30 days of the date of student notification or date of school determination (withdrawn due to absences or other criteria as specified in the school catalog) or in the case of a student not returning from an authorized Leave of Absence (LOA),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.
