Refund Policy:

Full tuition refunds will be issued to students if a student withdraws in writing within 72 hours after signing the enrollment agreement (until midnight of the third day; excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays). After the third day, but before classes begin, the school may retain the $50 administrative fee. After classes begin, for the first 60 percent of the course, school may retain the $50 administrative fee plus a pro-rata tuition charge based on the last date attended, rounded downward to the nearest 10 percent of that period. After sixty percent attendance, the institution may charge for the entire course.

Mitigating Circumstances:

After the student's first period of enrollment, a refund as provided in this section, except for room and board, must be made for students who withdraw in subsequent period(s) of enrollment due to mitigating circumstances. Mitigating circumstances are those that directly prohibit pursuit of a program and which are beyond the student's control: serious illness of the student, death in the student's immediate family, or active-duty military service, including active duty for training.

Hybrid:

Full tuition refunds will be issued to students if a student withdraws in writing within 72 hours after signing the enrollment agreement (until midnight of the third day; excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays). After the third day, but before classes begin, the school may retain the $50 administrative fee only. Even if a student has been given access to the online class, a full refund will be given to the student. Access to the online class will be revoked after withdrawal. The school has up to 40 days to issue this refund to the student.

If the school closes, students will be reimbursed for any tuition paid for classes not yet completed. A refund will be issued within 40 days of the school’s closure date.

Third Party Loans:
