Registration and Financial Payment

 

Students must pay all tuition and fees on or before one-week prior to the start of classroom instruction.
This applies to both new students and re-applying students.

 

Students who have not paid their tuition and fees in full will not be allowed to attend class until they do so.

 

Late Registration

 

There is a $100 fee for any late registration (deadline referred to above). Any request for late registration
requires the approval of the Director of Admissions. Late registrants and other students who enroll with the
intention of attending only part of a session do not receive a prorated reduction of tuition, application, books,
or other fees.

 

Refund Policy

 

1. All monies paid, (excluding application fees of $200, and $100 mailing fee), will be fully refunded if the student
    withdraws from enrollment either before or within 5 calendar days after having signed the enrollment agreement. 

 

•  If an applicant is denied an F1 (student) visa, they may submit written proof of denial of their student visa along

       with the request for a refund.

 

•  Students who obtain an F-1 visa but then choose not to enter the U.S. may also submit a written request for a refund.

 

In every case, students who have already received an I-20 form from ALA must return the original I-20 form to ALA admissions office along with their written request in order to be eligible for a refund.

 

2. For withdrawals after the 5-day cancellation period but before the first day of instruction, the full enrollment fee
    will not be refunded.

 

3. Students who withdraw after the first day of instruction will receive prorated refunds (based on weeks) only for legitimate
    mitigating circumstances which prohibit a student from attending classes. These mitigating circumstances are defined as:

 

• Serious medical illness of the student

• A death in the student’s immediate family

The student must submit a written request stating the mitigating circumstances, with official documentation attached.

 

Students who withdraw for any other reason will not receive any refunds.

 

A $250 Administrative Fee will be assessed if the student withdraws or transfers at any time after enrollment, regardless
of the circumstances.
