1. Refund & Cancellation Policy 

 

Right to Cancel 

 

A student may cancel enrollment and receive a full refund of all tuition and fees paid if cancellation occurs within seven (7) calendar days after signing the enrollment agreement or through attendance at the first instructional session, whichever is later.

 

Withdrawal After Instruction Has Begun 

 

Students who withdraw after the cancellation period has ended are entitled to a pro-rata refund for the portion of the program not received. Refund calculations are based on the number of instructional days or hours completed relative to the total program length, in accordance with California law.

 

Non-Refundable Charges 

 

A non-refundable application fee (not to exceed $250) may be retained if disclosed in the Enrollment Agreement. Charges for books, materials, or third-party services may be non-refundable if already provided.

 

Refund Timeline 

 

All refunds will be issued within forty-five (45) calendar days of the effective date of cancellation or withdrawal.
