Part Pos 1111 - REFUND STANDARDS
Section Pos 1111.05 - Partial Refunds

(a) A student who withdraws or is dismissed after the period of time identified under Pos 1111.03(a) has passed, but before completing 50% of the potential units of instruction in the current time period, shall be entitled to a pro rata refund, as calculated below, less any amounts owed by the student for the current time period, less a one-time application fee not exceeding $500 or 20% of the program tuition, whichever is less.

(b) Pro rata refund shall be the ratio of the number of units remaining after the last unit completed by the student to the total number of units in the time period, rounded downward to the nearest 10 percent. Pro rata refund is the resulting percent applied to the total tuition and other required costs paid by the student for the current time period.

(c) All efforts shall be made to refund prepaid amounts for books, supplies and other charges unless the student has consumed or used those items and they can no longer be used or sold to new students, or returned by the school to the supplier.

(d) No refund shall be required for any student who withdraws or is dismissed after completing 50% of the potential units of instruction in the current time period unless a student withdraws due to mitigating circumstances, in which case refunds shall be calculated based on the pro rata method described in Pos 1111.05(a).

(e) The 50 percent completion limitation does not apply in cases where the student cannot complete the program due to action taken by the school. Examples of school's action shall include school closing or bankruptcy, or cancellation of the program. In these and similar situations, refunds and fees shall be based on the pro rata method described in Pos 1111.05(a) for up to 100 percent of the tuition paid.
