Q: Can I get a refund if the course isn't for me? Should a student’s enrollment be terminated or cancelled for any reason, all refunds will be made according to the following refund schedule: Cancellation can be made in person, by electronic email or by certified mail. All monies will be refunded if the school does not accept the applicant or if the student cancels within three (3) business days after signing the enrollment agreement and making initial payment, with the exception of the application fee. Cancellation after the third (3rd) Business Day, but before the first class, will result in a refund of all monies paid, with the exception of the application fee and any certification or voucher fees. Cancellation after attendance has begun through 40% completion of the program, will result in a pro rata refund computed on the number of hours completed to the total program hours. Cancellation after completing more than 40% of the program will result in no refund. When calculating the refund due, the last date of actual attendance by the student is used in the calculation unless earlier written notice was received. Refunds will be made within 30 days of termination of the student’s enrollment or receipt of a Cancellation Notice from the student.
