Refund Policy

A student who has not attended class has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement at any time. A student who has attended class retains the right to cancel and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first class session or midnight of the seventh calendar day after enrollment, whichever is later. “Attended” is defined as attendance in the classroom. “Enrollment” is defined as execution of an enrollment agreement.

 If a Notice of Cancellation is submitted through attendance at the first class session, or midnight of the seventh calendar day after enrollment, whichever is later, the student will receive a refund of all moneys paid, less the non-refundable application fee or registration or administration fee, not to exceed $250. The school will pay or credit refunds within forty-five (45) days of the date the written notification of cancellation is received by the Registrar’s office if hand delivered, or the date post-marked if mailed.

Each student should be advised that a notice of cancellation shall be in writing, and that a withdrawal may be effectuated by the student’s written notice or by the student’s conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student’s lack of attendance.

Cancellation, Withdrawal, and Refund Policies

The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first-class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. Students who have completed 60% or less of the ten (10) week quarter will receive refunds on a pro-rata basis.

Cancellation or withdrawal may occur when the student notifies the Office of Registrar (1126 N. Brookhurst St, Suite 200, Anaheim, CA 92801; 7145-533-3946; registrar@calums.edu). The notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, is effective if it shows that the student no longer wishes to be bound by the Enrollment Agreement.  The Notice of Cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with proper postage.

Procedures to Cancel Enrollment or Withdraw from the University

1. The student must complete and submit a signed and dated ‘Notice of Cancellation’ to the Registrar.
2. The refund calculation shall be based on the date the Registrar’s office receives the completed ‘Notice ofCancellation’ if hand delivered, or on the date post-marked if mailed.
3. The refund will be issued by the Finance Office within forty-five (45) days of withdrawal, if applicable.
4. No refunds may be disbursed to the student until the Financial Aid Program has been repaid, if applicable.

 The school is obligated to repay the following funds, if applicable:

1. Title IV Sources
2. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
3. Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
4. Scholarships

Refunds will be determined by the percentage of tuition contributed by that source.

 Tuition Refund policy

The refund does not apply to fees identified “non-refundable”, and it will be issued within forty-five (45) days of withdrawal.

 For the purpose of determining the amount of refund, a student shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any of the following occurs:

1. The student notifies the school of the student’s withdrawal or the actual date of withdrawal, whichever is later.
2. The school terminates the student’s enrollment for failure to maintain satisfactory progress, failure to abide by the rules and regulations of the school, unexcused absences in excess of maximum set forth by the school,and/or failure to meet financial obligations to the school.
3. The student has failed to attend class for three (3) consecutive weeks.
4. The student fails to return from a leave of absence.

 The amount owed equals the daily charge for the program (total institutional charge, minus non-refundable fees, divided by the number of days in the program), multiplied by the number of days scheduled to attend, prior to withdrawal. If the student has completed more than 60% of the period of attendance for which the student was charged, the tuition is considered earned and the student will receive no refund.

 Refund Calculation

The refund will be the amount of tuition paid minus the total course tuition multiplied by a fraction, with the numerator as the number of course hours conducted by the instructor, and the denominator as the total number of course hours (credit units x 10).

 For example, if the student completes only 20 hours of a 4 credit unit (40 hours) course and paid the full $1,000.00 tuition, the student would receive a refund of $500.

 The student will not get a refund after more than 60% of the instruction of a course has been conducted. Except for tuition, all other charges and fees paid at the time of enrollment are non-refundable. Books, textbooks, and other materials purchased by the student are the property of the student. The school will neither accept return of purchased materials nor make refunds for services.
