Payments and Refunds
I. Payments
The College operates on a semester plan, and students are expected to pay all expenses when registering at the beginning of each semester. If, for any reason, the tuition is not paid in full before the semester begins, students must make arrangements with the Business Office before they may enter class, including students receiving financial aid. If a student is not current with payment obligations, he/she will not be allowed to attend classes. Each student is legally responsible for any unpaid balance of tuition, even if he/she fails to complete the semester. Delinquent accounts may be turned over to a collection agency the
last week of the semester, and grade reports, transcripts, and diplomas will not be issued. The student will be responsible for all legal and collection expenses.
The Business and Financial Aid Offices are located in the Administration Building.
II. Refund procedures for fees are outlined below
Any refund must be requested in writing within 60 days of the first day of the semester.
Refund policy prior to matriculation:
1. Refunds are 100% for courses canceled by the institution.
2. Changes in courses involving the adding and dropping of equal numbers of credit hours for the same term at the same time require no refund or assessment of additional maintenance fees. The drop/add fee applies.
3. A 100% refund (minus the $50.00 application fee) will be provided upon request if an applicant cancels his/her enrollment in writing prior to the beginning of the semester classes.
4. A 100% refund (minus the $50.00 application fee) will be provided upon request to applicants not accepted for admission.
5. A 100% refund (minus the $50.00 application fee) will be provided upon request to applicants who withdraw within three business days after signing the enrollment agreement and making an initial payment. After the 3-day cancellation right, but prior to the start of classes, applicants are entitled upon request to all monies paid, less the $50.00 application fee and $100.00 registration deposit.
6. Students who have not visited the campus prior to enrollment will have the opportunity to withdraw without penalty within three days following either attendance at a regularly scheduled orientation or following a tour and inspection of the College facilities.
The termination date for refund computation purposes is the date written notification is given by the student. The College requires that a student wishing to withdraw from O'More College complete a "Withdrawal From College" form, available in the Registrar's Office, upon his/her decision to leave the College. Failure to complete this process will result in a final grade of "F" in each course the student was registered for, rather than a "W" showing the official withdrawal.
Refunds to students eligible to receive benefits under the G.I. Bill will be computed in accordance with applicable Veterans Administration refund provisions. In the case of a prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the program, the College shall make a settlement that is reasonable and fair to both parties.
Refund policy after matriculation:
Refund Calculation for First Time (First Semester) Students
Refunds are calculated by dividing the number of weeks remaining in the semester by 15 to determine the percentage of semester left (rounded down to the nearest 10%). (If number of weeks remaining in semester is less than 6, there is NO REFUND due to the student). Percentage of semester left is multiplied by total tuition and fees charged for semester. This number is the amount refunded to the student.
Refund Calculation for All Other Students
A. Withdrawal during the first week of the semester: The student will receive a 90% refund of total tuition and fees charged.
B. Withdrawal during the second, third or fourth week of the semester: The student will receive a 55% refund of total tuition and fees charged.
C. Withdrawal after the fifth week of the semester: No refund to the student. The total tuition and fees charged for the semester are due to the College.
*All monies due the student shall be refunded upon request within sixty (60) days from the cancellation or failure to appear on or before the first day of class or the last date of student attendance.
