Withdrawals & Refunds

Courses are limited in enrollment and once you have been accepted, your participation is important to us — we are counting on you to participate and complete the course in its entirety and within the timeframe it is offered.

Refund Policy

Once you begin the class, your tuition is nonrefundable. If you start the class but do not complete it, eLearning will make arrangements for you to have an extended completion date. One extension will be granted. If the class is not completed within the extension provided, no further extensions will be offered and tuition will not be refunded. Additional time beyond 1.5 months may be applied for at the rate of $100 per month. In other words, if you wanted the course for two months, tuition would be $1492.00 + $200 = $1692.00.

If you must cancel prior to the start of an online class, a $200 per person processing fee will be assessed. If you notify us seven or more business days before the start of the program, we will refund your tuition less the processing fee, or, if you prefer, we can place you in another session of the online course.
