Tuition Refund Policy

Students not accepted to the school or students who cancel this contract by notifying the school within three (3) business days are entitled to a full refund of all tuition and fees paid. Students who withdraw after three (3) business days, but before commencement of classes, are entitled to a full refund of all tuition and fees paid except the maximum cancellation charge of $150 or 25% of contract price whichever is less.

In the case of students withdrawing after the commencement of classes, the school will retain a cancellation charge plus a percentage of tuition and fees, which is based on a percentage of contact hours, as described in the table below. The refund is based on the last date of recorded attendance.
