Coastline Beauty College’s withdrawal and refund policy applies to all terminations for any reason, by either party, including student decision, course or program cancellation, or school closure. The college’s withdrawal and refund policy complies with all federal and state regulatory agencies such as BPPE, USDE etc.

Student’s Right to Cancel

The student or legal guardian has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid except a $125.00 non-refundable registration fee through attendance at the first class session (first day of classes), or the seventh day after enrollment (seven days from date when enrollment agreement was signed), whichever is later.

The notice of cancellation shall be in writing and submitted directly to the Registrar Office. A withdrawal may be initiated by the student’s written notice or by the institution due to student’s academics or conduct, including but not necessarily limited to, a student’s lack of attendance. The cancellation date will be determined by the postmark on written notification, or the date said information is delivered in person.

Determination of Withdrawal from School

The withdrawal date shall be the last date of recorded attendance. The student would be determined to have withdrawn from school on the earliest of:

• The date you notify the Registrar office of your intent to withdraw. Only the Registrar office would be authorized to accept a notification of your intent to withdraw.
• The date the school terminates your enrollment due to academic failure or for violation of its rules and policies stated in the catalog
• The date you fail to attend classes for a two-week period (14 days) and fail to inform the school that you are not withdrawing (Unofficial withdrawal). The college monitors attendance at least once every two weeks.
• The date you failed to return as scheduled from an approved leave of absence. The withdrawal date shall be the last date of recorded attendance. The date of the determination of withdrawal will be the scheduled date of return from LOA. If a student on an approved LOA notifies the college that he or she will not be returning, the date of withdrawal determination is the earlier of the scheduled date of return from LOA or the date the student notifies the college that the student will not return.

Refund Policy

After the cancellation period, the institution provides a pro rata refund of ALL funds paid for tuition charges to students who have completed 60 percent or less of the period of attendance. Once more then 60 percent of the enrollment period in the entire course has elapsed (including absences), there will be no refund to the student.

A registration fee of $125.00 and STRF fee are non-refundable. Equipment, books, supplies, tools, uniforms, kits and any other items issued and received by the student would not be returnable. Once received by the student it will belong to the student and will represent a liability to the student.

If you cancel the agreement within cancellation period, the school will refund any money that you paid, less any deduction for registration fee and equipment received. If you withdraw from school after the cancellation period, the refund policy described above will apply. The college will perform refund calculation within 45 days of the official withdrawal determination date. If the amount that you have paid is more than the amount that you owe for the time you attended, then a refund will be made within 45 days of the official withdrawal determination date. See Refunds section below. If the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you have already paid, then you will have to arrange with the institution to pay that balance. Official withdrawal date is on the student’s notification or school’s determination.

Rejected Enrollment: All funds paid except a non-refundable registration fee will be returned if the student is rejected for enrollment

Course Cancellation: If a course is cancelled subsequent to a student’s enrollment and before instruction in the course has begun, the school shall at its option: 1. Provide a full refund of all money paid; or 2. Provide for completion of the course at schools in the neighborhood.

Withdrawal Calculations

Once the student has been determined by the college to have withdrawn from the course of study, the college will determine if the student received or was entitled to receive Federal Funds from the Title IV Financial aid programs available at the college during the payment period (or enrollment period). If the answer is YES, the college will conduct two distinctive and different calculations. Those calculations are described as follows.

Return of Title IV Funds

This formula determines the percentage of time (scheduled hours) that the student completed of the payment period or enrollment period in a course at the time of the student’s withdrawal. This percentage is then applied to the amount of Federal Funds from the Title IV programs that the student received or could have received in the same payment period or enrollment period. The result of this calculation is defined as earned funds. If the student received more than the earned amount, the over-payment is called unearned funds and must be returned to the programs in the following order: 1. Pell Grant, 2. Other Recourse and 3. The student.

If the calculation shows that the student owes funds to the grant programs, the liability of the student is limited to the mount by which the original grant over-payment amount exceeds half of the total Title IV grant funds received by student. A student does not have to repay a grant over-payment of $50 or less per program. These funds are due from the student within 45 days. If not paid in that time and if the student has not made arrangements with the Department to pay that amount, the student will be referred to NSLDS, a central system that will show the student ineligible for aid until the matter is taken care of by the student.

NOTE: If the institution was required by this calculation to return to the programs some of the funds it has collected as tuition payment, the student’s tuition account would be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, if the tuition was paid in full, but if the institution returned funds to the programs, the tuition account will show that the student owes that amount returned by the institution to the programs. Those refunds will be paid to the program funds in accordance to the order listed above, limited to the amount of funds that came from each aid program within 45 calendar days from the determination of withdrawal from school date.

Post Withdrawal Calculation

If the calculation shows that the student received less aid than what the student earned within the payment period or enrollment period, and then the student would be notified by the institution of the amount of Grant funds used to cover institutional charges incurred by the student, or the available amount from Grant funds for direct disbursement to the student for other educational related expenses. If loan funds are involved in this calculation, the institution will notify the student or parent of the loan amount it wishes to utilize to cover educational charges, the financial aid program where the funds are coming from and the student will be reminded of the responsibilities involved in receiving loan funds. The student or parent in the case of PLUS will be given 14 days to respond and accept or reject part or all of the loan funds available. The institution will honor late acceptances only at the institutional discretion.

Once this calculation is finalized, the institution will then perform a second and different calculation using the net funds retained (original tuition payments minus amounts refunded) to determine the amount of institutional charges earned by the institution during the payment or enrollment period. That calculation is known as the institutional refund policy calculation
