6 Page 3 of 7 STUDENT S RIGHT TO CANCEL You have the right to cancel the Enrollment Agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid without any penalty or obligations, through attendance at the first class session or the seventh calendar day after enrollment, whichever is later. Cancellation can occur no later than. DATE PROCEDURES FOR CANCELLATION/TERMINATION BY THE STUDENT Cancellation shall occur when the student gives written notice of cancellation to the school at the address indicated below: NCP Career College-Hayward NCP Career College-South San Francisco Hesperian Blvd., Suite A 257 Longford Drive, Room 5 Hayward, CA South San Francisco, CA The written notice of cancellation, if mailed is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. For the purpose of determining the time within which a student may cancel the agreement a day is defined as a day on which the student is scheduled to attend a class session. Refunds and fee obligations are determined on the basis of the student s last day of attendance in class. For documentation purposes, the student must put his/her withdrawal or cancellation request in writing and complete the withdrawal process which includes the notification of the Program Director. The processing of all applicable refunds, however, is not contingent upon the student s written request for withdrawal. (See Refund Policy for more details). If the student has already attended classes, he/she must inform the instructor(s) first to determine the final grade(s) to be entered on his/her transcript. Next, the student notifies the Program Director in writing of his/her desire to cancel/terminate the enrollment. The Program Director will discuss the student s option for a leave of absence and factors that may affect his/her re-admission. The withdrawal letter may be hand-delivered or mailed to: NCP Career College-Hayward NCP Career College, SSF Campus Hesperian Blvd., Suite A 257 Longford Drive, Room 5 Hayward, CA South San Francisco, CA Attn: VN Program Director Attn: VN Program Director Verbal or telephone withdrawals will not be accepted. Then, the Student and Career Services Coordinator and Campus Manager are notified by the Program Director of the cancellation or termination. The Campus Manager explains to the student his/her fee obligations and/or availability of a refund. Then the Office Manager endorses the student s request to the Accounting Office for the processing of a refund. Finally, the student is issued the refund based on his/her last day of attendance within thirty days.

7 Page 4 of 7 REFUND POLICY All monies paid by an applicant must be refunded if requested within the cancellation period. An applicant requesting cancellation after the cancellation period stated in the enrollment agreement and making an initial payment, but prior to entering the school, is entitled to a refund of all monies paid minus the registration fee. {( IV A) (14) (a-b) Substantive Standards, Standards of Accreditation, Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges}. A student is entitled to a 100 percent refund of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250), if notice of cancellation is made through attendance at the first class session, or the seventh class day after enrollment, whichever is later. {California Private Postsecondary Education Act 2009 (Article 13) (94920) (b)} If a student withdraws from a course or is terminated for cause after the cancellation period, the student will receive a refund prorated from the last date of attendance not equal to or exceeding 60% attended by the student. The school will automatically initiate a withdrawal for a student who has not notified the school of his/her withdrawal or attended school for ten consecutive days and will issue a refund within 30 days prorated from the last date of attendance not equal to or exceeding 60%. The student will be considered withdrawn from the program. A written notification of withdrawal is not a requirement for payment of the refund {( I (D) (5) Substantive Standards, Standards of Accreditation, Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges} EXAMPLES OF CALCULATION OF REFUNDS: 1. If a student withdraws after the completion of 10% of the course of instruction, NCP will refund 90% of the total charges for the course less the application fee, books and other training materials and Student Tuition Recovery Fund. If a full payment is received prior to withdrawal, calculation of the refund is computed as follows: Tuition Fee Package & Application Fee $ Less: Application Fee (non-refundable) $ Books & Materials $ STRF $ 2.50 Balance Remaining $ Therefore: 90% x $ = $ Refund Due 2. If a student withdraws after completion of 25% of the course, NCP will refund 75% of the total charge for the course less the application fee, books and other training materials and Student Tuition Recovery Fund. 3. If a student withdraws after completion of up to 60% of the course, NCP will refund 40% of the total charge for the course less application fee, books and other training materials and Student Tuition Recovery Fund. 4. No refunds will be given if a student has attended more than 60% of the course. Books, other training materials, and uniforms are not refundable. Fees paid with personal check(s) will need to be cleared first before refunds can be processed. The check clearance usually takes thirty days. The prorated calculation of the refund will start from the last date of the student s attendance. The school will issue the student a receipt for any money collected or refunded. NCP will also refund any monies received from third parties (e.g. Sallie Mae, WIA, NOVA, etc.) on behalf of the student and according to the agreement(s) each party made with the student.

8 Page 5 of 7 If the student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund. If the student is eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government and the student defaults on the loan, both of the following may occur: (1) The federal or state government or a loan guarantee agency may take action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the person is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan. (2) The student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance until the loan is repaid. NCP reserves the right to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment. If this occurs, the student will be issued a full refund of all monies paid unless the student elects to apply all monies paid to the next scheduled class start date. In such a case, the student is issued a credit memo stating that he/she has the money in his account with the school.

Therefore, if a student falls below 90 percent attendance of the course, that student will be advised to withdraw or will be administratively withdrawn from the program. 2. Tardiness is a disruption of the learning environment and is highly discouraged. A student who arrives in theory class more than 10 minutes late based on the classroom clock is considered tardy. Persistent tardiness defined as tardiness of more than two times is considered an unexcused absence. Students are encouraged to join the class even if marked absent for the day to maximize learning at the discretion of the instructor. However, accrued absences will be considered in determining satisfactory attendance. 3. Cutting Classes - Cutting of classes is considered as an absence. If the student is absent for four consecutive classes and the student remains unresponsive to communication efforts- the Campus Manager will process an administrative withdrawal and the final grade on the transcript will be an F. 4. Make-Up Work - Students will be required to make-up all assignments, exams, or other work missed as the result of an absence. Arrangements to take a missed exam must be made with the instructor within two days of returning from an absence. Remediation options may be available to students who are unable to meet academic course requirements. Acceptable methods of make-up include: Theory: Case studies, independent study, written examination, attendance seminars or work shops, and research reports. 5. Withdrawal Written requests to withdraw from the program must be submitted to the Campus Manager for processing. If 60% of the program has been completed, then as stated in the enrollment agreement- no refund shall exist and the final grade for the course will be a F.
