THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. ACTUAL REFUND AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO TUITION CHARGES AND UNIT/HOUR REQUIREMENTS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME THE STUDENT REQUESTS A TUITION REFUND.

Didactic Unit Rate = $150/ Unit Clinical Unit Rate = $220/ Unit

Didactic Hourly Rate = $15/ Hr.

Clinical Hourly Rate = $11/ Hr.

Total Tuition for 216 Didactic Units = (216 X $150/unit) = $32,400.00

Total Tuition for 48 Clinical Units = (48 Clinical Units X $220/Unit) = $10,560.00

Total Tuition = ($32,400.00 Didactic Charge + $10,560.00 Clinic Charge) = $42,960

EXAMPLE: Didactic Tuition Refund – Student enrolled in 12 units, withdrew after 3rd week.

Didactic Tuition = (12 Didactic Units X $150/Unit) = $ 1,800.00 Didactic Tuition Refund Pro rata* for Week 3 = 70%

Didactic Tuition Withdrawal Refund for Week 3 = ($1,800.00 X 70%) = $1,260.00

EXAMPLE: Clinical Tuition Refund – Student enrolled in 20 clinical hours, withdrew between the 1st and 3rd week, and completed only 4 clinical hours.

Clinical Tuition = (20 Clinical Hrs. X $11/Hr.) = $220.00

Clinical Tuition Refund Pro rata** By Week 3 = 1

Clinical Tuition Withdrawal Refund = ($220 X 0.7) = $154.00
