Tuition Refund & Cancellation Policy

[DRAFT — pending attorney + WERCS review] This policy governs cancellation and tuition refunds for self-pay students. Sponsored students are governed by their sponsor agreement. The exact refund schedule below must be confirmed against the Washington Private Vocational School Act (RCW 28C.10) and Oregon ORS 345 before any live tuition is processed.

Right to cancel

A student may cancel enrollment and receive a full refund of tuition if cancellation occurs within 5 days of signing the enrollment agreement, or before instruction begins, whichever is later. [CONFIRM exact window with state law.]

To cancel, notify NIHST WORX Academy in writing at the contact address below.

Refund after instruction begins

After the cancellation window, refunds are pro-rated based on the portion of the program elapsed at the student's last date of attendance. Once 60 percent or more of the program has elapsed, no refund is due. [CONFIRM the exact pro-rata schedule and any non-refundable registration fee with the state schedule.]

Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 30 days of the withdrawal date.

Withdrawal

A student may withdraw at any time in writing. The school may also withdraw a student for cause per the code of conduct. The refund due is calculated as above from the effective withdrawal date.
