D. REFUND POLICY
STUDENT’S RIGHT TO CANCEL
1. You have the right to cancel your agreement for a program of instruction, without any penalty or obligations, through
attendance at the first class session or the seventh calendar day after enrollment, whichever is later. After the end of
the cancellation period, you also have the right to stop school at any time; and you have the right to receive a pro rata
refund if you have completed 60 percent or less of the scheduled days in the current payment period in your program
through the last day of attendance.
Cancellation of this agreement can occur up to: _________________________
Date
2. Cancellation may occur when the student provides a written notice of cancellation at the following address: CAREER
ADVANCEMENT SOLUTIONS, 1530 Meridian Avenue, Suite 103, San Jose, CA 95125. This can be done by mail
or by hand delivery.
3. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with
proper postage.
4. The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, it is effective if it shows
that the student no longer wishes to be bound by the Enrollment Agreement.
5. If the Enrollment Agreement is cancelled the school will refund the student any money he/she paid, less a registration
or administration fee not to exceed $250.00, and less any deduction for equipment not returned in good condition,
within 45 days after the notice of cancellation is received.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM
You may withdraw from the school at any time after the cancellation period (described above) and receive a pro rata refund
if you have completed 60 percent or less of the scheduled days in the current payment period in your program through the
last day of attendance. The refund will be less a registration or administration fee not to exceed $250.00, and less any
deduction for equipment not returned in good condition, within 45 days of withdrawal. If the student has completed more
than 60% of the period of attendance for which the student was charged, the tuition is considered earned and the student
will receive no refund.
For the purpose of determining a refund under this section, a student shall be deemed to have withdrawn from a program of
instruction when any of the following occurs:
 The student notifies the institution of the student’s withdrawal or as of the date of the student’s withdrawal, whichever
is later.
 The institution terminates the student’s enrollment for failure to maintain satisfactory progress; failure to abide by the
rules and regulations of the institution; absences in excess of maximum set forth by the institution; and/or failure to
meet financial obligations to the School.

BE SURE TO READ ALL PAGES OF THIS AGREEMENT. IT IS PART OF YOUR CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOOL.
Revision Date: August 31, 2016 Page 2 of 5 _______________ (Initial)
For the purpose of determining the amount of the refund, the date of the student’s withdrawal shall be deemed the last date
of recorded attendance. The amount owed equals the daily charge for the program (total institutional charge, minus non-
refundable fees, divided by the number of days in the program), multiplied by the number of days scheduled to attend,
prior to withdrawal. If the student has completed more than 60% of the period of attendance for which the student was
charged, the tuition is considered earned and the student will receive no refund.
If any portion of the tuition was paid from the proceeds of a loan or third party, the refund shall be sent to the lender, third
party or, if appropriate, to the state or federal agency that guaranteed or reinsured the loan. Any amount of the refund in
excess of the unpaid balance of the loan shall be first used to repay any student financial aid programs from which the
student received benefits, in proportion to the amount of the benefits received, and any remaining amount shall be paid to
the student. If the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of moneys not
paid from federal student financial aid program funds.
