TERMINATION POLICY
Any student who is being considered for termination will normally receive a verbal warning followed by a written warning, administered by a School Official. However, if an incident is determined to be serious enough to threaten the safety and well being of the community, the school reserves the right to move directly to termination without issuing a written warning.
The student will have a hearing with a School Official at the time of a written warning, and at that time a determination will be made as to whether it is feasible for the student to continue his/her education. All records of written warnings or terminations will become part of the student’s file.
CANCELLATION AND SETTLEMENT POLICY
The student has the right to cancel the Enrollment Contract (Enrollment Agreement) at any time. If the student elects to do so, the following terms apply:
A. If an applicant is rejected by the school, all monies paid shall be refunded within 21 days.
B. An enrollment agreement or application may be cancelled within five (5) calendar days after the date of signing provided the school is notified of the cancellation in writing. The school shall promptly refund in full all tuition and fees paid pursuant to the Enrollment Agreement. Such refund shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after cancellation. This provision shall not apply where a student has already started classes.
C. For the purpose of withdrawals and refunds, the last date of attendance will be used to calculate the refund. If the student does not notify the school, the midpoint of his/her payment period will be used as the withdrawal date to calculate refunds to Title IV.
D. This institution honors the Department of Education’s Return to Title IV policy.
E. For the purpose of charging tuition and calculating Return to Title IV, tuition and book fees are charged in ten (10) week payment periods. If in the event a student withdraws or is dismissed from school, all efforts will be made to return pre-paid amounts for books, fees and supplies except for those that have been consumed. Consumed is defined as items that were special ordered for a particular student and cannot be used or sold to another student, items that are returned in a condition that prevents them from being used by or sold to new students and individually documented non-refundable fees for goods and services provided by third party vendors. Therefore, any books that are returned in a “new” condition should be refunded at 100%. Registration and tools are charged in the first payment period. The formula for tuition is the total number of days in the payment period divided by the total days attended equals percentage earned. After sixty (60%) of completion, 100% tuition for payment period is charged.
The institution uses the State of Ohio’s Refund Policy:
1. A student who starts and officially withdraws during the first calendar week of the payment period shall be obligated for twenty-five percent (25%) of the tuition for the period, the registration fee, plus books and/or tools issued.
2. A student who officially withdraws during the second calendar week of the payment period shall be obligated for fifty percent (50%) of the tuition for that period, plus books.
3. A student who officially withdraws during the third calendar week of the payment period shall be obligated for seventy-five (75%) of the tuition for the payment period, plus books.
4. A student who officially withdraws beginning with the fourth calendar week of the payment period will be obligated for 100% of the tuition for the period, plus books.
5. Any refund due a student will be made no longer than sixty (60) days from the student’s last date of attendance. Any refund due to Title IV will be returned within thirty (30) days.
