- All requests for refunds must be in writing.
- A full refund of tuition and supplies fees minus a $500 administration fee will be paid for the first year of study if written notification is received by the High School Principal 60 days before commencement of the student's first Quarter.
- A full refund of tuition and supplies fees minus a $500 administration fee will be paid in the second and subsequent years of study if fees have been paid for quarters in which the student does not enroll in courses, provided that notice to withdraw from these courses is received in writing by the school Principal 60 days before commencement of the quarter. In such cases, refunds will be at the rate of tuition and supplies fees paid for that quarter less the $500 administration fee.
