What if my payment is overdue?
The student is responsible for payment of all charges on his/her account. Overdue obligations may be referred to a collection agency and reported to the credit bureaus. If any overdue obligation is referred to an outside collection agency or to an attorney for collection efforts and/or legal suit, the debt is increased to cover all reasonable costs of collection including collection fees, court costs and attorney fees

How do I cancel a registration and receive a refund?
In order to obtain a refund, You Must Request in Writing (by mail or fax) A Registration Cancellation Before The First Day of Class. Not showing up for class does not cancel your registration therefore you will be responsible for full payment. You may leave the money for a paid, cancelled class on your account for a future class, or request in writing a refund.
