REFUND AFTER ALLOWED PERIOD
A student may withdraw from the program and receive a pro rata refund
of the unused portion of the tuition fees and other charges minus a non
refundable registration fee of $75.00.
The prorated refund amount will be calculated by first determining the
total hourly cost of the program of instruction by dividing the total
tuition charge by the total number of clock hours, then multiplying the
hourly cost by the total clock hours elapsed at the time of the withdrawal,
and then subtracting that amount from the total amount paid.
Example of Refund:
Assume that a student, upon enrollment in a 400 hour course, pays the
school $4,025.00 for tuition plus $75.00 as a registration fee. Assume
that the student withdraws after completing 100 hours of the 400 hour
program. In that event, the refund is $3,019.00 in unused tuition.
A: Total Paid to School: $4,100.00
(4,025.00 tuition + 75.00 Registration Fee = $4,100.00)
B. Total Tuition Charge: $4,025.00
($4,100.00 paid to school - $75.00 Non refundable registration fee =
$4,025.00)
C. Hourly Charge $10.06
(4,025.00 tuition charge / 400 total hours = $10.06)
D. Students obligation for service received = $1.006.00
($10.06 hourly charge x 100 hours completed = $1,006.00 students obligation)
