Refund Policy and Procedure


  • Refund Request
    All refund requests must be submitted in writing by mail, in person, or by electronic mail. All refunds are made by check within 30-calendar days from the date of receipt of such request. The student may pick up the check in person or request the delivery of the check by mail, in which case the applicable mailing fee would apply. We use only a courier company that has a tracking system ensuring a delivery. If you are applying through an educational counselor/agency, any refund will be made payable to the agency unless we are instructed by your agency to pay you directly.
  • Basis for Refund
    The tuition refund is solely based on the money received by the school after all applicable fees owed to the school are deducted. Any money not paid, discounts or promotions, will no longer apply upon your withdrawal. The tuition charge will be based on the standard (full charge) published price.
  • Cancellation
    For courses cancelled by the first day of a term, there will be a full refund for the tuition paid.
  • Withdrawal
    For courses withdrawn after the period allowed for cancellation, the tuition refund will be prorated on a weekly basis. Additionally, there will be a withdrawal fee of $200. There is no refund if withdrawn after the 75% of instructions.
  • Minimum Registration Requirement
    The international students are required to attend at least two terms (8 weeks) prior to requesting a transfer. Otherwise, there is an early transfer fee of $350.
  • Recruiting Fee for Non-California (CA) Resident
    If you are a Non-CA Resident and you withdraw, there is a recruiting fee of 35% of tuition for the period and the program, which you have stated on your application form. The fee will not apply if you are a continuing student - extending from the initial period enrolled - or a student applying for an F-1 visa outside the U.S. whose visa is denied.
  • Unclaimed Balance
    The school has the right to any unclaimed balance beyond 180 days from the last date of student¡¯s attendance or the scheduled start date if the student had never attended the school.
  • Expulsion/Suspension
    No refund will be given to a student expelled or suspended. Additionally, for an F-1 student, the student will be terminated in SEVIS.

*Tuition and fees are subject to change without prior notice.
