Summary: A student who ceases to attend their program of enrollment once training has begun, but prior to completing more than 80% of the current academic year, will receive a pro-rated refund of tuition and certain fees that will be based on the portion of the academic year attended, up to and including, the student’s last date of attendance. The academic year completion percentage utilized in calculating the refund amount is computed by dividing the number of weeks the student attempted/attended in the current academic year by the total number of weeks in the current academic year. The completion percentage is rounded up to the nearest 10% and is then multiplied by the tuition, lab fees, course materials, textbooks, and accident insurance amounts as represented on the student’s enrollment agreement for the academic year. Students who withdraw after completing more than 80% of the current academic year will result in the school retaining 100% of the cost of the academic year. For each academic year the student has completed, the student is responsible for those charges in full.
