HOW TO APPLY / PAYMENT POLICY / REFUND POLICY / BOUNCED CHECKS

Students may call the School at (716) 639-9009 and request a registration form or may fax their request at (413) 502-6047. Students may photocopy a registration form in order to expedite registration and ensure a seat in class. Registration forms must be completed prior to the start of the first class. Student input forms are completed at the first class session. Most of our students prefer to register over the phone and pay with a major credit card (see below).

Payment must be made no later than at the first class meeting. Personal checks, money orders, cash, MasterCard, Discover and Visa are acceptable methods of payment. All tuitions are refundable provided that the student notifies the School (via fax) at least 48 hours in advance of the first class session. After that point, tuition may be applied to any future courses for up to two years from date of payment, date of registration or date of the originally signed up class(whichever is latest). Paid tuitions are non-transferable. We remind students that they cannot transfer a class which they have a credit for more than ONE time, for example, suppose that a student forgot to call for a class which they paid for but didn't attend, he or she could apply that to an upcoming class. If they call AGAIN to transfer their tuition to ANOTHER class (or different date), their credit would be VOID (from their original registration). In general, tuitions are transferable ONE time only.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR INTERNET STUDENTS: Any student who registers for our internet delivered courses is considered registered at time of their payment being processed, students only have 90 days from date of payment to receive a credit on their credit card or may take advantage of our liberal 2 yr. tuition credit from date of payment. Tuitions paid for internet-delivered courses can be transfered (one time only) to any other type of class we offer [again for 2 years]. If any other form of payment is used for payment of an internet-delivered course, the student may apply the course fee to ANY other course we offer - no cash refund or credit will apply.

We encourage students to call us BEFORE registering if you don't understand our refund policy or if you need clarification.

Refunds that meet the above criteria will be made within ten business days of the first day of class (or after the refund is approved - whichever is later). Students who drop after the first day receive no credit toward a future course. Students are considered to have dropped if they don't call us and fax us a note prior to (or shortly thereafter) and advise us of their situation). All correspondence and hardcopy registrations should be directed to the School's administrative offices at: P.O. Box 702, East Amherst, New York 14051.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR HOME INSPECTOR STUDENTS: If a student has paid & registered for the entire home inspector package then later decides to drop the program, the ala-carte price schedule will apply to those courses started and/or completed. Any remaining tuition will be refunded less a $75 administrative charge. For those students who have registered & paid but have not actually started, submitted or completed any work - will be given a full refund LESS the administrative charge of $75. This is regardless of the method of payment utilized.

BOUNCED CHECK POLICY

Students may pay by check, cash or credit card. However, if our bank returns a check for any reason, the student will be charged a minimum fee of $50 to cover administrative time for staff members of the School (which also covers our bank fees at the current time). This is subject to change if bank fees continue to go up. As a result, we recommend that students who don't wish to charge their tuition please obtain a money order in the full amount for tuition and text/materials as appropriate. Transcripts and State submission of course completion paperwork will be delayed if not resolved within 30 days from completion of the class. Students may have to repeat the course in such cases. We reserve the right to pursue collection activities for students who don't pay their tuition, fees or textbook charges.

If a received check has a stop-payment ordered issued (after we receive it), an administrative fee of $75 will be assessed to the student.
