The student refund may be more than that stated above if the accrediting agency or the Federal Student Loan Default Management refund policy under Federal Regulation (34 CFR Section 682606) results in a greater refund.

Note: The failure of a student to notify the Director of withdrawal in writing may delay refund of tuition due pursuant to Section 5002 of the N.Y. State Education Law.

Refund Policy

A student who cancels within 7 days of signing the enrollment agreements receives all monies with the exception of the nonrefundable registration fee. Thereafter, a student will be liable for the non-refundable registration fee plus the cost of any textbooks or supplies accepted.

Tuition Liability

Pursuant to Education Law 5002(3)C(1), tuition liability is calculated as of the student’s last date of physical attendance. Tuition liability is divided by the number of quarters in the program.

If a student withdraws or is terminated, total tuition liability is limited to the quarter during which the student withdrew or was terminated, and any previous quarters completed. For further information on termination policies, see page 21.
