Refund Policy 

All students are guaranteed that tuition at the time of registration will not increase as long as they are actively and continuously enrolled in a program.

The University further guarantees that students who wish to withdraw will have all money due refunded within 30 days. A student may request refund in any manner, but a written request is preferred. Tuition refunds will be based on the date of cancellation as follows:
  • If a student cancels within 5 calendar days after midnight of the day the student signs the Enrollment Agreement (Full Refund Period), the student will receive a FULL refund with NO further obligation.
     
  • If a student cancels after the Full Refund Period but before the school receives the first completed lesson, the student will be refunded all money paid, less an administrative fee of $50.
     
  • If a student cancels after completing at least one lesson assignment but less than 50 percent of course assignments, the University will retain a percentage of refundable tuition which will not exceed the following:

    a. Up to and including 10 percent of the course, 10 percent of the refundable tuition (tuition charges remaining after subtracting the non-refundable fee already retained).

    b. Between 10 percent and 25 percent of the course, 25 percent of the refundable tuition.

    c. Between 25 percent and 50 percent of the course, 50 percent of the refundable tuition

    d. After the student completes more than half the course, the institution shall be entitled to retain the entire total course tuition
The amount of the course completed shall be the ratio of completed lesson assignments received by the institution to the total lesson assignments required to complete the course.


* NOTE: None of the Administrative Fees incurred during the enrollment period are refundable under the terms of the University’s Refund Policy. The International Open University does not refund students for books which are purchased through third party vendors.
