Cancellation of Enrollment Agreement
You have the right to cancel an agreement for a course of instruction including any
equipment such as books, materials and supplies or any other goods related to the
instruction offered in this agreement, until midnight of the fifth business day after the
first class you attended. Business day means, except for home study or correspondence, a
day on which you were scheduled to attend a class session. Cancellation shall occur when
you give written notice of cancellation at the address of the school. You can do this by
mail, hand delivery or telegram. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is
effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. The written
notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, it is
effective if it shows that you no longer with to be bound by this agreement. You will be
given two notice of cancellation forms to use at the first day of class, but you can use
any written notice that you wish. If the school has given you any equipment, including
books or other materials, you shall return it to the school within 30 days following the
date of your notice of cancellation. If you fail to return this equipment, including
books, or other materials, in good condition within the 30-day period, the school may
deduct its documented cost for the equipment from any refund that may be due to you. Once
you pay for the equipment, it is yours to keep without further obligation. If you cancel
this agreement, the school will refund any money that you paid, less any deduction for
equipment not timely returned in good condition, within 30 days after your notice of
cancellation is received.
Withdrawal from Course
You have the right to withdraw from a course of instruction at any time. If you
withdraw from the course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation of the
agreement, which is until midnight of the fifth business day following the first class you
attended, the school will remit a refund less a registration fee, if applicable, not to
exceed $75.00 within 30 days following your withdrawal. You are obligated to pay only for
educational services rendered and for unreturned equipment. The refund shall be the amount
you paid for instruction multiplied by fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
hours of instruction which you have not received but for which you have paid, and
the denominator of which is the total number of hours of instruction for which you have
paid. If you obtain equipment, as specified in the agreement as a separate charge, and
return it in good condition within 30 days following the date of your withdrawal, the
school shall refund the charge for the equipment paid by you. If you fail to return the
equipment in good condition, allowing for reasonable wear and tear, within this 30-day
period, the school may offset against the refund the documented cost to the school of that
equipment. You shall be liable for the amount, if any, by which the documented cost for
equipment exceed the prorated refund amount. The documented cost of the equipment may be
less than the amount charged, and the amount the school has charged in the contract. In
any event, you will never be charged for more than the equipment charges stated in the
contract. For a list of these charges, see the list on the front of this page. IF THE
AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE PAID IS MORE THAN THE AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE FOR THE TIME YOU ATTENDED,
THEN A REFUND WILL BE MADE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF WITHDRAWAL. IF THE AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE IS
MORE THAN THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO PAY IT.
Student Tuition Recovery Fund
The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the Legislature to protect any
California resident who attend a private postsecondary institution from losing money if
you prepaid tuition and suffered a financial loss as a result of the school, or refusing
to pay a court judgment.
To be eligible, you must be a "California
resident" and reside in California at the time the enrollment is signed or when you
receive lessons at a California mailing address from an approved institution offering
correspondence instruction. Students who are temporarily residing in California for the
sole purpose of pursing an education, specifically those who hold student visas, are not
considered a California resident.
To qualify for STRF reimbursement, you must file a STRF
application within one year of receiving notice from the council that the school is
closed. If you do not receive notice from the council, you have 4 years from the date of
closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment is obtained, you must file a STRF
application within 2 years of the final judgment.
It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment
agreement, financial papers, receipts or any other information that documents the moneys
paid to the school.
Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, 1027 10th Street, Fourth
Floor, Sacramento, California 95814, (916) 327-7190.
