Refund Policy

An enrolled student is a person who has been offered a position in the program and has paid the $100 tuition deposit and signed the enrollment agreement. Once the agreement and fee has been returned, the enrolled student has three business days to cancel their enrollment for a full refund of the tuition deposit. If the student decides to cancel their enrollment within the month prior to the start date they will not be entitled to a refund of the tuition deposit.

• A student who begins the program but withdraws or is dismissed during the first quartile (25%) of the program is entitled to receive a refund 50% of the paid tuition
• A student who starts the program but withdraws or is dismissed after completing second quartile (more than 25% but less than 50%) of the program is entitled to receive a refund 25% of the paid tuition
• A student who starts the program but withdraws or is dismissed after completing third quartile (more than 50%) of the program is not entitled to a refund

If a student chooses to withdraw, they must submit a formal written notice to include the expected last date of attendance and be signed by the student. In the absence of a formal written notice, the withdrawal is defined as fourteen calendar days after the student’s last day of attendance. If a student is in any way financially indebted to Inova Histology Program, the student will not be able to graduate which includes the graduation ceremony and certification exam eligibility.

Other Expenses

Expenses such as housing, transportation, textbooks, healthcare and certification exam fees are the responsibility of the student.
