CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS

Students may terminate their scheduled training at any time by notifying the school director verbally of their intention to do so. Tuition will be refunded to the payer as of the end of that week. Exception to this relates to withdrawals during the final month of training. There is no refund made after a student has reached this point in their scheduled training.

 

Refunds will be made within 15 days of withdrawal.

 

If the school requests a student withdrawal due to violation of attendance, academic or behavior policies, these same tuition refund procedures apply. Exception to this is a student who is withdrawn on such basis during the final month of training. They will receive a refund based on time remaining in their scheduled training.

 

Students who have reserved a space for admission but do not start will not be charged.

 

After a student attends the first day of classes there is a nonrefundable $75.00 for registration and $100 for supplies.

 

Students may request a Leave-of-Absence. Typically, reentrance is dependent upon available space. This leave of absence cannot exceed ½ the program length. Thus, if a student is enrolled in the 16-week program, they cannot take a leave of absence for longer than 8 weeks. All Leave of Absence requests must be in writing and must be signed by the student. The anticipated date of return must be indicated on the Leave of Absence form.

 

Violation of the published policies, or behaviors deemed inappropriate by the school administration, may result in administrative withdrawal. Tuition will be refunded from that date forth.

STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND

California law requires that, upon enrollment, a fee be assessed the institution in relation to the cost of tuition (Education Code Section 94343). These fees support the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF), a special fund established by the California legislature to reimburse students who might otherwise experience a financial loss as a result of (a) the closure of the institution, (b) the institution's breach or anticipatory breach of the agreement for the course of instruction, or (c) a decline in the quality or value of the course of instruction within the 30-day period before the institution's closure. The Fund protects only California students. Institutional participation is mandatory.

 

It is important that enrollees keep a copy of any enrollment agreement, contract, or application to document enrollment, tuition receipts or cancelled checks to document the total amount of tuition paid. Such information may substantiate a claim for reimbursement from the STRF, which must be filed within one year of the Council's service on the student of their rights under the STRF, or if no notice of rights are served to the student, within four years of institution's closure.
