​STUDENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

By enrolling in AVID CNA School, students agree to pay all tuition, required fees, and authorized additional charges associated with their program.

Students are responsible for meeting payment deadlines regardless of whether they have selected full payment or an installment plan.

Failure to satisfy financial obligations may result in restrictions on school services, examinations, or future enrollment.

Withdrawal from the program does not automatically eliminate financial obligations. Any remaining balance will be determined after applying the school's refund policy.

​

TUITION REFUND POLICY

Students who withdraw from a program after the five-business-day cancellation period may be eligible for a tuition refund based on the percentage of scheduled instructional hours completed at the time of withdrawal.

​

​Tuition Reimbursement Schedule

​

% of Hours   Institution Refund
Attended      Policy 
0-10%           90% 
11-20%          80% 
21-30%         70% 
31% ----        0%
 

Refund percentages are calculated based on the total tuition charged for the program, less any legally permitted deductions.

The amount refunded to the student will depend on the tuition payments already received and the refund amount owed under this schedule.

​

Refundable Materials

The following materials may be returned for a refund, provided they are in their original condition:

• Unmarked textbooks

• Unopened skills laboratory kits

• Unused clinical uniforms

​

Non-Refundable Fees

The following fees are generally non-refundable after the cancellation period:

​

These exclusions do not apply when a full refund is required under the student's cancellation rights.

​​

WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURE

Students who wish to withdraw from a program must notify AVID CNA School in writing or by email.

The school will document the date the withdrawal request was received and the student's actual last date of attendance.

The student's last date of attendance will be used to determine the percentage of instructional hours completed and calculate any tuition refund.

​

If a student has an unexplained absence of more than ten (10) consecutive scheduled class days, AVID CNA School may consider the student administratively withdrawn.

Students who are administratively withdrawn may still qualify for a tuition refund based on the published Tuition Refund Schedule.

AVID CNA School will provide written acknowledgment of a student's withdrawal notification within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt.
