The student has a right to a full refund of all charges (including application fee) upon request up to ten working days after receipt of the course materials. After that time, the student has the right to a refund less the amount of $200.00 for the registration fee.

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.

NOTE: The State of California requires that the refund policy be expressed in clock hours of instruction, as above. An example of the policy expressed for distance education lessons completed would be: if the student completes only 10 lessons of a 30-lesson course and paid $825.00 tuition; after subtracting the $200.00 registration fee, the student would receive a potential refund of $416.66.

If the school cancels or discontinues a course or educational program, the school will make a full refund of all charges. Refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal.

Students may receive a refund up to 7½ months after their course start date. After this date no refunds will be issued.
