Refund Policy

The student has a right to a full refund of all tuition less the amount of the “Application for Admission” fee (this fee is referred to in this document as “non-refundable fee). The student is entitled to a refund, if he or she cancels the course enrollment in writing within the first 2 weeks after the first day of the beginning of the semester. Eligible Refunded amount will be credit to the students account.

All tuition and fees paid by the student (less the non-refundable fees) shall be credited to the student within 30 days of the withdrawal or cancellation. The formal notice of cancellation may be e-mailed, mailed, faxed or delivered in person. If mailed, the postmark date is the effective date of cancellation or withdrawal.

If a student withdraws after the obligation-free period as noted previously, all tuition and fee payments, less non-refundable fees, shall be refunded on a pro rata basis (see following details).

Full Refund

To be eligible for a full refund, a student must terminate enrollment by Sunday of the second week of the semester.

Pro Rata Refund

A student may terminate enrollment at any time. A student who withdraws from Guidance College after the obligation-free period will receive refunds of already paid tuition for the course(s) not received (less non-refundable fees). The amount of the refund shall be determined in accordance with the following pro rata refund policy.

Refund Policy and Installment Plan

Students are allowed to pay tuition using an installment plan. In a case where the paid installments toward tuition are less than the eligible refund, the student will be obligated to pay the remainder of the tuition fee. If a student withdraws from a class between the third and fifth week, one-third (1/3) of the tuition is due.  After the beginning of the sixth week, the full amount is due.

Guidance College will not issue a refund and not obligated to refund the cost of books or supplies or any other expenses associated or required by the student as a result of the student registration, enrollment or extra curriculum activities relating to the students’ courses or academic activities.

Total cost of the program

The total cost of each program is dependent upon the number of credits that the student completes at Guidance College. For example, if a student transfers 15 credits from another institution, their cost will be less than if the student had taken all courses at Guidance College.

Program Cost =  Total Credit Hours X Cost per Credit Hour + Additional Fees*

*Additional Fees include: Application for Admission & Transcripts fees.
