Disclosures
For Continuing Education Trainings, any written contract or agreement
signed by a prospective student shall not become operative until the
student attends the first class or session of instruction.
Employer
Assistance with Tuition
Many employers underwrite programs to assist employees with their education
expenses. I.C.N. encourages students to seek educational assistance
from their employer. The College will gladly prepare any reports or
other information necessary to meet the requirements of such programs.
Scholarships
NO scholarships funds are available.
Cancellation
Period
The cancellation period is considered up to and including the first
day of the residential classes. The cancellation period for the online
classes is up to the creation and advice of a password for each course.
All requests for cancellations must be submitted in writing to the Dean,
Theresa Dale at I.C.N.’s mailing address.
Refund
Policy
Refund During Cancellation Period: The school shall refund 100% of the
amount paid less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed
$100.00, if notice is made before or on the first day of residential
instruction. For online only classes, once a password has been issued,
the class and/or lesson is accepted and NO refund will apply. The International
College of Naturopathy’s web site is located at www.wellnesscenter.net.
Refund
After Cancellation Period
If a student withdraws from their course after the cancellation period,
the student is entitled to only a partial refund. The refund policy
is pro rata to the 60 percent point of the course. The formula is as
follows:
Total
Amount Actually Paid for Lessons taken
minus the Registration Fee of $100.00
= Adjusted Amount
(Includes all fees and instruction, but no equipment)
Adjusted
Amount X Lessons not received but for which the student has paid
= Final Refund Amount
All
refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal.
Cancellation
Refund Example:
A student enrolls in the Naturopathic Practitioner Program and pays
total tuition including a $100 registration fee. The student cancels
on the first day of class. The student’s refund would be total
tuition minus the $100.00 registration fee. The $100.00 registration
fee is non-refundable.
Withdrawal
Refund Example:
A student enrolls in the Naturopathic Practitioner Program and pays
$8,300.00, including a $100 registration fee. The student withdraws
after completing 75 percent of the course. The student would not receive
a refund, because he or she has completed over 60 percent of the program.
On the other hand, if the student has paid total tuition of $8,300.00
(including the $100.00 registration fee) completes 50% of the training
and wants to withdraw from the training – they would receive a
refund for the lessons that they did not take or receive a password
for. All cancellations and requests for refunds must be submitted to
the school office in writing.
Student
Tuition Recovery Fund
The Students Tuition Recovery Fund (“STRF”) was established
by the Legislature to protect any California resident who attends a
private postsecondary institution from losing money if they prepaid
tuition and suffer a financial loss as a result of the school closing,
failing to live up to its enrollment agreement, or refusing to pay a
court judgment.
To
be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident and reside in
California at the time the enrollment agreement is signed or when you
receive lessons at a California mailing address from an approved institution
offering correspondence instruction. Students who are temporarily residing
in California for the sole purpose of pursuing an education, specifically
those who hold student visas, are not considered California residents
for this purpose.
To
qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application within
one year of receiving notice from the Bureau that the school is closed.
If you do not receive notice from the Bureau, you have four years from
the date of closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment is obtained
you must file a STRF application within two years of the final judgment.
It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment agreement, financial
aid papers, receipts or any other information that documents the moneys
paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to
the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, 400 R
Street, Fifth Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814-3517, (916) 445-3427.
Students
enrolled in the Registered courses for Continuing Education Units and
Short-Term Career Training are not eligible for recovery from the Student
Tuition Recovery Fund.
Student
Complaints
The Registrar, Rachel F. Salanda, (800-421-5027), will be responsible
for resolving any student complaints. If problems are not resolved by
the Registrar, you may email Theresa Dale at t4joy@earthlink.net.
