Tuition Refund Policy

A student has the right to cancel the Enrollment Agreement at any time. A student is entitled to a full refund if the first course materials are not sent out within seven days after acceptance by the University, less the $100 registration fee. A student may withdraw until midnight of the eighth business day after the first course material was mailed for a full refund, less than $100 registration fee. The notice of cancellation and withdrawal is effective when delivered or when postmarked. Refunds will be made within 30 days thereafter. A student may withdraw after the program of instruction has begun.

For purpose of determining the scheduled length of program for refund calculations, multiply the number of courses required for the degree by 4 weeks, the completion time scheduled for each course of study. If the student has completed 60% or less of the program of study, the refund shall be a prorated refund, less the $100 registration fee.

For example, if a student completes 6 weeks of a 48 week program and has paid $4000 in tuition, the student would receive a refund calculated as follows: $4000 x 42/48 = $3500, less the $100 registration fee. All refunds will be made within 30 days of the receipt of the notice of cancellation. If tuition and costs are due to the University, we will send a notice and appropriate billing within 30 days.

For withdrawals beyond 60% completion, there are no refunds; nor are there any refunds when the student completes courses or the program in a shorter time period. Student will be charged for books and instructional material received.

Students who have paid in full and who have requested a refund in writing and have received all of their instructional material are not entitled to a refund after the material is mailed. However, they are entitled to receive all of the instruction they ordered for, provided that they comply with the academic polices and procedures of the University.

 STATE OF CALIFORNIA STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND

The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by California residents who were students attending schools approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (Bureau).

You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:
 

1. The school closed before the course of instruction was completed.
 

2. The school’s failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school.
 

3. The school’s failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburses proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other costs.

4. The school’s breach or anticipatory breach of the agreement for the course of instruction.

5. There was a decline in the quality of the course of instruction within 30 days before the school closed, or if the decline began earlier than 30 days prior to closure, a time period of decline determined by the Bureau.

6. The school committed fraud during the recruitment or enrollment or program participation of the student.
 

7. You may also be eligible for STRF if you were a student that was unable to collect a court judgment rendered against the school for violation of the Private Postsecondary and Vocational Reform Act of 1989.
 

The University will pay the State Assessment amount to STRF for eligible students.
