Cancellation and Refund Policy
Student’s Right to Cancel
Students have the right to cancel their enrollment agreement within seven days (until midnight of the seventh day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) after signing the agreement. Students who cancel during this period will receive a refund of all monies paid, excluding the non-refundable application fee.
Students will receive 100 percent of the institutional charges paid (less the application fee, which will not exceed $250) if cancellation occurs either:
- Before attending the first class session, or
- By the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later.
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via verified email or hand-delivered to the Registrar’s Office. Cancellation is effective as of the date the written notice is sent. A withdrawal may also be initiated by the student’s conduct, such as lack of participation in the course.
Refund Policy
Students officially withdrawing or taking a leave of absence may qualify for a partial or full tuition refund. However, all other fees (excluding tuition) are non-refundable, and a $15 drop fee will be applied per dropped course. Refunds are calculated based on the student’s total institutional charges at the time of withdrawal, not on the amount paid.
To initiate a refund, students must complete and submit a Student Withdrawal Form or Leave of Absence Form to the Registrar’s Office. Refunds are processed within 30 calendar days of receiving the official withdrawal or leave notice.
For record-keeping purposes, a refund form will be maintained in the student’s file, regardless of whether a refund is issued.
Refund Schedule
For Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer terms:
- 100% Refund – Withdrawal or approved leave of absence before the end of the first week.
- Partial Refund – Withdrawal or approved leave of absence after the first week and before 60% of the course is completed.
- No Refund – Withdrawal or approved leave of absence after 60% of the course is completed.
Partial Refund Calculation Formula
Tuition refunds are calculated as follows:
Refund = Tuition Paid×(1−Percentage of Term Completed)−Drop Fee\text{Refund = Tuition Paid} \times (1 – \text{Percentage of Term Completed}) – \text{Drop Fee}Refund = Tuition Paid×(1−Percentage of Term Completed)−Drop Fee
Example:
A student withdraws after completing 2 weeks of a 10-week course, or 20% of the term.
- Tuition Paid: $2,184
- Refund Percentage: 80% (100% – 20%)
Refund = 0.80×2,184=1,747\text{Refund = } 0.80 \times 2,184 = 1,747Refund = 0.80×2,184=1,747
- Drop Fee: $15 per course × 2 courses = $30
- Total Refund: $1,747 – $30 = $1,717
Loans
Students who use loans to pay for their education are responsible for repaying the full loan amount plus any accrued interest, less any refunds issued.
