Refund after the commencement of classes:
1. Procedure for withdrawal/withdrawal date:
a. A student choosing to withdraw from the school after the commencement of classes is to provide written notice to the Director of the school. The notice is to indicate the expected last date of attendance and be signed and dated by the student.
b. For a student who is on authorized Leave of Absence, the withdrawal date is the date of the last day the student attended class.
c. A student will be determined to be withdrawn from the institution if the student has not attended any class for 3 consecutive class days.
d. All refunds will be issued within 45 days of the determination of the withdrawal date.

2. Tuition charges/refunds:
a. Before the beginning of classes, the student is entitled to a refund of 100% of the tuition (excluding the nonrefundable Application and Textbook fees).
b. After the commencement of classes, the Tuition refund (excluding the nonrefundable Application and Textbook fees) amount shall be determined based on the proration of Tuition and percentage of program attempted at withdrawal up to 50%. No refund will be issued after 51% of the course has been attempted.

The percentage of the clock hours attempted is determined by dividing the total number of clock hours elapsed from the student’s start date to the student’s last day of attendance, by the total number of clock hours in the program.

Books, supplies and fees: Refunds for items of extra expense to the student, such as books, tools, or other supplies will be handled separately from refund of tuition and other academic fees. Books are purchased directly by the student and no refund will be made. For full refunds, the school can withhold costs for these types of items from the refund as long as they were necessary for the portion of the program attended and separately stated in the enrollment agreement. Any such items not required for the portion of the program attended must be included in the refund.

Refunds will be issued within 45 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school determination (withdrawn due to absences or other criteria as specified in the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.

If a student is administratively withdrawn, they will be notified through written communication, such as email. A record of this notification will be kept in the student's file.
