Refunds of tuition will be made to students who complete the withdrawal procedures from
weekend New Earth Institute/Certificate classes according to the following schedule:
• Withdrawal two weeks prior to the start time of the class: 100% refund of tuition.
• Withdrawal prior to three days (72 hours) before the start time of the class: 75% refund of tuition.

REFUND POLICY FOR FINANCIAL AID BORROWERS:

Regulations governing refunds of Title IV government loans require schools to refund
all unearned tuition to the lender rather than the student. This will lower the amount of the
borrower’s loan. Refunds of government loans are determined on a pro-rata calculation based
on the date of withdrawal. Additionally, when the school’s policy differs from the Federal policy,
students may be charged for the difference.
