If eligible, the refund will be processed within 30 days upon receipt of the cancellation notice. All students are required to pay a $ technology fee per term. The current tuition for your program will be $ per credit hour. The tuition per credit hour is subject to change. Tuition and fees are subject to change with 30 days of notice.

Proof of Bachelor s Degree Note to Students: In order to attend a graduate program at Kaplan University, students must have earned a baccalaureate degree from a college or university accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and attest to that fact. In signing this Enrollment Agreement, you certify that you have graduated from such an institution. You will be required to provide official transcripts from this institution by the last calendar day of your first term (second term for MBA). If your official transcript is not received by Kaplan University by this date, you will not be allowed to start the second term (third term for MBA) and all Title IV financial aid must be refunded to the appropriate source. You will then be responsible for payment of these funds to Kaplan University. If, for any reason, this attestation is found to be false or untrue, you will be subject to immediate dismissal from Kaplan University. Furthermore, all Title IV financial aid or any state or institutional funding must be refunded to the appropriate source, and you will be responsible for payment of these funds to the original source or to Kaplan University. Refund Policy Applicants not accepted by the University shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid. CANCELLATION OF ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT: You may cancel your Enrollment Agreement without any penalty or obligation if requested in writing and delivered to the University management within three business days after signing the Agreement, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and federal and state holidays. NOTICE TO STUDENTS: If you withdraw from the University up through the 60 percent point in any payment period and received federal financial aid in the form of grant or loan funds, federal law requires that the University, and in some cases, you, the student, return funds you did not earn to the U.S. Department of Education. The amount of federal financial aid that you have earned is computed by (1) determining the percentage of the payment period for which federal financial aid was awarded and completed, and (2) multiplying such percentage by the total amount of federal financial aid that was, or could have been, disbursed on your behalf for the payment period as of the date you withdrew. After the 60 percent point in the payment period, you will have earned 100 percent of the federal financial aid funds already disbursed to you. This calculation concerning federal financial aid is separate and distinct from the institutional refund policy and may result in your owing additional funds to the University to cover tuition charges previously paid by federal financial aid prior to your withdrawal. If you plan to withdraw from the University, please contact your financial aid or business office to determine the amount of funds, if any, that must be returned on your behalf. WITHDRAWAL AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF CLASSES: The effective withdrawal date for a student shall be when any of the following occur: 1. The date the student notifies the University of withdrawal or the date of withdrawal, whichever is earlier, 2. The beginning date of any term in which a student fails to start classes, 3. The first business day following any 21 consecutive calendar days of absences (excluding scheduled breaks), 4. The date when the University terminates the student s enrollment, or 5. The date that the student is scheduled to return from a leave of absence and fails to do so. All refunds due will be made within 30 days of the student s effective withdrawal date. The last date of actual participation (login) is used in calculating any refund amount. Students who are continuing or restarting their enrollment at the University are subject to the Kaplan University Refund Policy. Under this policy, the percentages of refundable charges are as follows: Students Withdrawing Prior to the first day of the term During the first 6 calendar days of the first term (first-time students only) During the first day through 10% of the term After more than 10% and through 25% of the term After more than 25% and through 50% of the term After more than 50% and through 100% of the term Refund 100% Tuition 100% Tuition 90% Tuition* 50% Tuition* 25% Tuition* 0% Tuition *Less $100 Administrative Fee. The University reserves the right to postpone or change the date or time when any class is offered. In case of prolonged illness, accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the program, a refund that is reasonable and fair to both parties shall be made.
