For the purpose of determining the amount a student owes for the time he/she attended, he/she shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any of the following occurs: He/she notifies the School of his/her withdrawal or the actual date of withdrawal. The School terminates his/her enrollment. The student fails to attend classes for a three [3] week period. In this case, the date of withdrawal shall be deemed to be the last date of recorded attendance. If any portion of the student tuition was paid from the proceeds of a loan, then the refund will be sent to the lender or to the agency that guaranteed the loan, if any. Any remaining amount of refund will first be used to repay any student financial aid programs from which he/she received benefits, in proportion to the amount of the benefits received. Any remaining amount will be paid to the student. If there is a balance due, the student will be responsible to pay that amount. |
