Refund Policy
The institutional refund policy in effect when a student drops a single course or completely withdraws from all courses during a period of enrollment is based on a combination of the student’s last date of attendance (LDA) in the given course and the length of that course.
3 Weeks & Under Course:
If the student attends any portion of the course (LDA recorded) = NO Refund
If the student does NOT attend the course (no LDA recorded) = 100% Refund
4 to 8 Weeks Course:
The refund will be calculated based on the LDA with the following WEEKLY schedule:
Through Drop Period (Monday of Week 2) = 100% Refund
Week 2 of Course (Tue -Sun) = 75% Refund
Week 3 of Course (Mon-Sun) = 50% refund
Remainder of term (Mon-through end of course) = NO refund
