The School’s refund policy is designed to assure that each student is provided a fair and equitable refund of tuition and fees in situations in which the student has enrolled in and begun coursework in the fall, spring or summer semester, and then elects to withdraw, is dismissed by the School, or otherwise fails to complete the semester.
In each semester:
- A student who notifies the administration of their intention to withdraw within the first three (1st – 3rd) business days of the semester is entitled to a 100% refund of tuition and fees minus a $250 fee.
- A student who notifies the administration of their intention to withdraw on the fourth or fifth (4th – 5th) business days of the semester is entitled to a 75% refund of tuition and fees.A student who notifies the administration of their intention to withdraw from the sixth through the tenth (6th – 10th) business days of the semester is entitled to a 50% refund of tuition and fees.
- On and after the eleventh (11th) business day of the semester, a student who notifies the administration of their intention to withdraw is not entitled to a refund of that semester’s tuition and fees.
The refund policy is structured to balance the opportunity for a student to recoup a portion of the tuition and fees that they have paid for the semester with the costs incurred by the School in planning for that student to attend in a given semester.
The Marine Trades Institute Student Withdrawal Form is completed by staff to document the last date that the student was in class and the refund that is due. A student may complete the initial information on the form, but it is not required as a step in the withdrawal process or for a refund to be processed. The school must make a determination of the student’s last day of attendance within 14 days of the student’s withdrawal, as determined by the school from its attendance records.
Refunds will be issued within 45 days of the completion of the Student Withdrawal Form.
