Tuition Refund
Tuition refunds will be dispersed according to applicable state and federal requirements. Students wishing to cancel their enrollment must notify the Registrar of their intention in writing. The effective date of cancellation is the date the notice is postmarked or handed to the Registrar (or, in the Registrar’s absence, to an authorized University Administrative Officer).
Policies of the University
An enrollee may cancel enrollment prior to or on the first day of class in any given quarter, and receive a full refund of all tuition and refundable fees paid toward that quarter. Students wishing to withdraw from individual classes after the beginning of the quarter, must complete an Add/Drop form, which may be mailed or given to the Registrar. In regards to fees and refunds, the postmark is the official date of notification for mailed documents.
There are no refunds for needles, herbs, books or other supplies. Tuition refund policies also apply to any student who may be terminated from the program by the administration.
The tuition refund for any given course, quarter or special session is based on the pro-rata percentage of course hours conducted by the University prior to official cancellation of enrolment until sixty percent of the course has been conducted.
Example:

• Up to 10% of course conducted Tuition Refunded - 90%
• 10 to 25% of course conducted 75%
• 25 to 50% of course conducted 50%
• 51% or greater of course conducted No refund
