Pursuant to California Education Code (CEC) 94920(b), an institution must refund 100 percent of the amount
paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250), if
notice of cancellation is made through attendance at the first class session, or by the seventh class day after
enrollment. AGU refunds 100% of all course charges upon request in writing up until midnight of the tenth
day after registration for a course. A withdrawal may be effectuated by the student's written notice or
by the student's conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student's lack of attendance. If a
student withdraws or cancels a course after midnight of the tenth day after registration for a course,
the student will be subject to a one-time charge of $200 of the tuition during their enrollment in their
educational program.
Students may receive a refund up to 7½ months after receipt of the course materials. After this date no refunds will be issued.
After the official drop period of ten working days, the student may withdraw from a course after instruction has started and receive a pro rata refund for the unused portion of the tuition and other refundable charges if the student has completed 60% or less of the instruction. For example, if the student completes only 30 hours of a 90-hour course and paid $825.00 tuition; after subtracting the $200.00 registration fee, the student would receive a potential refund of $416.66.
