Tuition Refund and Cancellation Policies

If a student fails to attend the morning orientation without providing at least 24 hours’ notice, a no-show fee of $200.00 will be applicable. This fee will be directly deducted from any deposit made by the student towards tuition.

Prior to the commencement of the class, students can request and receive a full refund of the tuition paid to the school. Once the class has started, refunds will be prorated based on the time spent at the school, calculated on a weekly basis. It’s important to note that no refunds will be offered in cases of termination due to rules violations.

However, in exceptional circumstances, the Director will consider a refund. Upon request, funds may be held if a student wishes to reenter the program after resolving legal or personal issues and meeting re-qualification requirements. All amounts owed to a student will be refunded within 60 days from the last day of attendance or within 60 days from the receipt of payment if the date of payment receipt is after the student’s last date of attendance.
