Enrollment Changes

Transferring to a Different Course

A request to transfer to a different course must be made in writing within two months of the date of enrollment. To transfer to a different course, you must have submitted fewer than half the progress evaluations and exams in the original course. Request to Transfer Enrollment forms can be printed from the Center's Web site. The transfer fee is $35. The date of the initial enrollment remains effective for the new course. Fees cannot be transferred to another student.

If the new course carries more credit than the original course, the Center will charge you the tuition fee for the additional credit. If the new course carries less credit, you may be eligible for a refund (see "Refunds" below).

Withdrawing from a Course

If you want to withdraw from a course, you can use a Request to Withdraw form, which can be printed from the Center's Web site. You can also withdraw from a course online at the Center's Web site by clicking "Log on" and then following the appropriate instructions. In order to receive a refund, you must withdraw within the first two months of enrollment and have submitted fewer than half the progress evaluations and exams. If you mail your withdrawal form, the postmark date on your request will be used to determine whether a refund is due. You will be charged a $5 fee for each lesson and exam submitted.

Refunds

In order to receive a refund, you must withdraw within the first two months of enrollment and have submitted fewer than half the progress evaluations and exams. If you mail a withdrawal form, the postmark date will be used to determine if a refund is due.

Refunds are not given to students who have submitted one-half or more of a course. The amount of the refund will be reduced $5 for each lesson and exam that has been submitted for evaluation before withdrawing. Incorrect advisement will not be considered grounds for a refund. If you attempt to enroll in a course that has been discontinued, all fees will be refunded. Refund amounts are listed below:

  • requests postmarked within first month after enrolling—70%;
  • requests postmarked within second month after enrolling—50%;
  • requests postmarked after second month of enrolling—No Refund.

The administrative fee is not refundable.

Refunds are mailed approximately four weeks after the Center receives your request. The Center does not refund amounts less than $5.
