Training Registration

AGREEMENT NOTICE:
This agreement will be binding only when it has been fully completed, signed, and dated by the student and an authorized representative of the school prior to the time instruction begins.

CHANGES TO AGREEMENT NOTICE:
Any changes in the agreement will not be binding on either the student or the school unless such changes are acknowledged in writing by an authorized representative of the school and by the student, or student’s parent or guardian if he/she is a minor.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF ACCEPTANCE:
I certify that I have read and understand the cancellation policy and the complaint procedure; I have received a copy of the school catalog or brochure; and I am entitled to an exact copy of this Enrollment Agreement, school catalog, and any other pages I sign.

CANCELLATION OF CLASSES:
The school reserves the right to cancel a starting class if the number of students enrolling is insufficient. Such a cancellation will be considered a rejection by the school and will entitle the student to a full refund of all money paid.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY:
1. The school must refund all monies paid if the applicant is not accepted. This includes instances where a starting class is cancelled by the school.
2. The school must refund all monies paid if the applicant cancels within five business days (excluding Sundays and holidays) after the day the contract is signed or an initial payment is made, as long as the applicant has not begun training.
3. The school may retain an established registration fee equal to ten percent of the total tuition cost, or one hundred dollars, whichever is less, if the applicant cancels past the fifth business day after signing the contract or making an initial payment. A registration fee is any fee charged by a school to process student applications and establish a student record system.
4. If training is terminated after the student enters classes, the school may retain the registration fee established under (3) of this subsection, plus a percentage of the total tuition based on the percentage of training completed at the time of termination.

5. When calculating refunds, the official date of a student’s termination is the last day of recorded attendance:
a. When the school receives notice of the student’s intention to discontinue the training program; or,
b. When the student is terminated for a violation of a published school policy which provides for termination; or,
c. When a student, without notice, fails to attend classes for thirty calendar days.
6. All refunds must be paid within thirty calendar days of the student’s official termination date.

NOTICE TO BUYER:
Do not sign this agreement before you read it or if it contains any blank spaces. This is a legal instrument. All pages of this contract are binding. Read both sides of all pages before signing. You are entitled to an exact copy of the agreement, school catalog, and any other papers you may sign, and are required to sign a statement acknowledging receipt of those.

CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT:
If you have not started training, you may cancel this contract by submitting written notice of such cancellation to the school at its address shown on the contract. The notice must be postmarked no later than midnight of the fifth business day (excluding Sundays and holidays) following your signing this contract; the written notice may also be personally or otherwise delivered to the school within that time. In event of dispute over timely notice, the burden to prove service rests on the applicant.

UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES:
It is an unfair business practice for the school to sell, discount, or otherwise transfer this contract or promissory note without the signed written consent of the student or his/her financial sponsors if he/she is a minor, and a written statement notifying all parties that the cancellation and refund policy continues to apply.

CERTIFICATION:
I certify that I read and understand the cancellation and refund policy and the complaint procedure; I received a copy of the school catalog and I am entitled to an exact copy of this enrollment agreement, school catalog, and any other papers I sign.
