Financial Policy
Students are expected to keep the financial agreements made at enrollment. Students unable to meet the agreements should contact the school immediately.  Failure to keep financial arrangements agreed upon is grounds for student termination by the school.    Students who terminate (or are terminated by the school) are subject to the refund policy (see below).  A $32.50 service charge will be accessed if a check received as payment is returned by the bank unpaid, for any reason.  In the event that an agreed-upon payment is more than 4 days late, a $10.00 late fee will be charged.   A 1.5% per month interest charge will be assessed accounts that are past-due.   A $25.00 fee will be charged for re-financing.  In the event that an account balance becomes 60 days past due, the school may turn the account over to a collection agency for assistance in collecting the debt.  The student will be responsible for payment of the collection fees/attorney fees incurred by the school in the collection process, up to 35% of the balance due.
Refund Policy
Full Refund:  Students terminating and requesting a refund within 3 days of the date of the enrollment agreement and initial payment may receive a full refund of all moneys paid.  Applicants who are not accepted for enrollment are entitled to receive a full refund.  Refunds for materials are subject to their return in "like-new" condition within 30 days of purchase.  There will be no refund allowed for interactive materials purchased (e.g. CD-Roms).
Enrollment Fee: The enrollment fee portion of the tuition guarantees a class seat in a particular class and is therefore not refundable or transferable to another class except as noted above.  The enrollment fee is required upon registration and is included as part of the tuition cost.  The school, however, will not retain more than $150 of enrollment fee charges if the student does not start training.
Partial Refund:   Students are responsible for all classes/programs they registered for, beginning with the first class attended, and ending with the last class attended or made up.   Students who terminate after the course/program begins are responsible for a pro rata payment of the tuition charges of classes/program they are responsible for, plus payment of the enrollment fee, according to the following schedule:
1.     Students terminating (after starting training) within one week of the starting date will be charged 10% of the contract tuition plus enrollment fee*, but no more than $350.00.
2.     Students terminating after one week of the course/program start date, but within 25% of the course/program, will be charged 25% tuition plus enrollment fee*.
3.     Students terminating after 25% of the course/program, but within 50% of the' course/ program, will be charged 50% tuition plus enrollment fee*.
4.     Students terminating after 50% of the course/program will be charged full tuition and will not be entitled to a refund.
*      The school, however, will not retain more than $150 of the enrollment fee.
Refund Terms: Students requesting termination and refund must do so in writing, mailed certified mail to the School's address.  If the school is not notified in writing, a $25.00 service fee will be charged.  All refunds will be paid by check and mailed to the requested address (or last address on file) within 30 days of receiving the request.  Students who terminate because of prolonged illness, accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the course, should request a "special cases" settlement with the reasons for termination clearly stated.  Students terminating and obtaining a refund may not be accepted by the school for reentrance.
