Payment Plan
Initial payment of $2,000 upon acceptance.
Remaining balance due in equal monthly installments over the course of your studies.
Total must be paid in full before attending final course.
Once payment plan is setup, there are no changes. If attendance plan changes, payment plan does not change unless the student is granted an official leave of absence by the Dean/Program Director (due to illness or family emergency, as example) where the student needs to be “put on hold” in terms of their studies. In this case, payments cease until student begins studies again and a new monthly payment plan is put in place. Students wishing to continue with their education after a leave of absence (LOA) may resume their studies after approval by the Dean or Program Director. A $400 reactivation fee is due and charged the first of the month that studies resume. If program fees have increased since the student’s initial plan was setup, the fees are calculated based on the new program fee at the time student returns from leave.
If for some reason a student falls behind in payments, attendance will be suspended until payments are brought current.
If a student misses a class and the Dean or Program Director deem it’s important for the student to make up the in person instruction, this will be coordinated between the instructor and the student and any additional costs incurred will be the responsibility of the student
Waivers
Students can apply for consideration of waivers of some requirements when they apply to the program (applicants may be assessed a $250 Registrar Review Fee). If the student gets permission from the Dean for waivers from courses when they are accepted into the program, the tuition for credit hours waived is deducted from total program fee. All other fees will be pro-rated, to a minimum of $4,200.
Students will receive $18 in tuition credit for every hour worked. Discounted tuition is calculated based on timesheets submitted against payments due in the following month. A payment plan is calculated without the discount, and then the discount is applied following the submission of the student’s timesheet each month. If student does not work any hours, they will not receive a discount on their next month’s payment. Any exceptions must be approved by the Executive Director.
Recipients receive a discount on program tuition. See Financial Aid form for details.
If a student misses a class and the Dean or Program Director deem it’s important for the student to make up the in person instruction, this will be coordinated between the instructor and the student and any additional costs incurred will be the responsibility of the student
Cancellations or postponements of module or course attendance must be received via email to Dean and Registrar by no later than noon pacific standard time on the 1st of the month for the module/ course being rescheduled. If cancellation is prior to the first of the month, there will be no fee assessed. If you cancel or postpone between the first of the month and the first day of the module, you will be a charged a $120 administrative fee. [NOTE: In cases of family emergencies or unexpected health issues, appeals to waive this fee can be made to the Dean or Program Director.]
Students that drop from the program or are asked to leave the program, are not eligible for a refund for payments already made. Future payments due after the month the drop or leave occurs will not be charged, until or unless studies resume. Students who prepay the program fee are eligible for refunds on a prorated basis, minus the administrative fee, as above.
Any exceptions to these terms need prior approval by the Executive Director.
