Cancellation Policy

A full refund will be made to any student who cancels the enrollment contract within 72 hours after the enrollment contract is signed.

The 72-hour cancellation period lasts until midnight of the third day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays.

A full refund will also be made to any student who cancels enrollment within the student’s first three scheduled class days.

The school may retain no more than $100 in administrative fees charged. The school may also retain the cost of items of extra expense that are necessary for the portion of the program attended and stated separately on the enrollment agreement.

Refund Policy

1. Refund Computations

Refund computations will be based on scheduled course time of class attendance through the last date of attendance.

Leaves of absence, suspensions, and school holidays will not be counted as part of the scheduled class attendance.

2. Effective Date of Termination

The effective date of termination for refund purposes will be the earliest of the following:

    1. The last day of attendance, if the student is terminated by the school.
    2. The date of receipt of written notice from the student.
    3. Ten school days following the last date of attendance.

3. Student Does Not Enter School

If tuition and fees are collected in advance of entrance, and if after expiration of the 72-hour cancellation privilege the student does not enter school, not more than $100 in any administrative fees charged shall be retained by the school.

This applies to the entire residence program or synchronous distance education course.

4. Withdrawal or Termination After the Cancellation Period

If a student enters a residence or synchronous distance education program and withdraws or is otherwise terminated after the cancellation period, the school or college may retain no more than $100 in any administrative fees charged for the entire program.

The minimum refund of the remaining tuition and fees will be the pro rata portion of tuition, fees, and other charges.

The calculation is based on the number of hours remaining in the portion of the course or program for which the student has been charged after the effective date of termination, compared with the total number of hours in that portion of the course or program.

A student may not collect a refund if the student has completed 75 percent or more of the total number of hours in the portion of the program for which the student has been charged on the effective date of termination.¹

5. Books, Tools, Supplies, and Other Extra Expenses

Refunds for items of extra expense to the student, such as books, tools, or other supplies, are handled separately from refunds of tuition and other academic fees.

The student will not be required to purchase instructional supplies, books, and tools until those materials are required.

Once these materials are purchased, no refund will be made.

For full refunds, the school can withhold the cost of these items when they were necessary for the portion of the program attended and separately stated in the enrollment agreement.

Any items not required for the portion of the program attended must be included in the refund.

6. Withdrawal After the 75 Percent Completion Mark

A student who withdraws for a reason unrelated to the student’s academic status after the 75 percent completion mark and requests a grade at the time of withdrawal shall be given a grade of “incomplete.”

The student will be permitted to re-enroll in the course or program during the 12-month period following the date of withdrawal without payment of additional tuition for that portion of the course or program.

7. Cases Requiring a Full Refund

A full refund of all tuition and fees is due and refundable in each of the following cases:

    1. An enrollee is not accepted by the school.
    2. The course of instruction is discontinued by the school and this prevents the student from completing the course.
    3. The student’s enrollment was procured as a result of any misrepresentation in the school’s advertising, promotional materials, or representations by the owner or representatives of the school.

A full or partial refund may also be due in other circumstances involving program deficiencies or violations of requirements for career schools and colleges.

Refund Policy for Students Called to Active Military Service

8. Options for Students Called to Active Duty

A student who withdraws from the school or college because the student is called to active duty in a military service of the United States or the Texas National Guard may elect one of the following options for each program in which the student is enrolled:

    1. If tuition and fees are collected in advance of the withdrawal, the student may receive a pro rata refund of any tuition, fees, or other charges paid for the program.

Any unpaid tuition, fees, or other charges owed by the student for the portion of the program the student does not complete following withdrawal will be canceled.

    1. The student may receive a grade of incomplete with the designation “withdrawn-military” for courses in the program, other than courses for which the student has previously received a grade on the student’s transcript.

The student may re-enroll in the program, or a substantially equivalent program if the original program is no longer available, no later than the first anniversary of the date the student is discharged from active military duty.

No additional tuition, fees, or other charges will be required for the program, other than any previously unpaid balance of the original tuition, fees, and charges for books.

    1. The student may receive an appropriate final grade or credit for courses in the program, but only if the instructor or instructors determine that the student has:
    2. Satisfactorily completed at least 90 percent of the required coursework for the program.
    3. Demonstrated sufficient mastery of the program material to receive credit for completing the program.

9. Timing of Refund Payments

The payment of refunds will be totally completed so that the refund instrument has been negotiated or credited into the proper account or accounts within 60 days after the effective date of termination.

¹ Refund calculation note: The refund is based on the precise number of course-time hours the student has paid for but not yet used at the point of termination, up to the 75 percent completion mark. After that point, no refund is due. Form CSC-1040R provides the precise calculation.

Credit for Previous Education, Training, or Experience

Texas Technical Trade School will evaluate all collected information provided by a prospective student with previous education, training, or experience.

If credit is given after the prospective student’s record is evaluated, the program length or cost may be reduced.
