Adult General Education Fees

The courses listed for Adult General Education are fee exempt for students remediating to achieve the literacy level required for a vocational training program, or for remediation services above the ninth grade level. Tuition and textbook exemptions include a student who does not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, and is enrolled in adult basic skills (ABE), adult secondary education (ASE), or vocational preparatory instruction (VPI) for the purpose of achieving basic literacy or receiving a high school diploma or its equivalent.

A student who has a high school diploma or its equivalent and is enrolled in adult basic skills (ABE), adult secondary education (ASE), or vocational preparatory instruction (VPI), and has basic skills at or below the eighth grade level is also fee exempt from tuition. Books are provided by the instructor as needed to the student.

Fee Due Dates

All fees are due in full the first day of class for each nine weeks. Each student will receive an itemized bill per semester. Tuition and other fees must be paid in full before the student enters class, unless arrangements are made with the Director of the Center.

Refunds

Textbooks and kits may not be returned. The amount of refund, if one is due, is determined by the following criteria:

Institutional Refund Policy

Any student, except a student receiving Title IV financial assistance, may be eligible for a refund under the following guidelines:

A refund of 100% will be issued for all students who withdraw up to one week before or if the class is cancelled. Students will be refunded the unused portion of their tuition fees as of the date of withdrawal if less than 60% of the enrollment period has been completed. After 60% of the enrollment period has been completed, no refund will be issued.

Return of Title IV Funds

If a student withdraws on or before completing 40% of the course(s) within a payment period for which they have received Title IV funds, the school will complete R2T4 calculation to determine if any funds are to be returned to Title IV funds for the payment period.

The student would be owed a full disbursement of Title IV funds upon withdrawal if they have completed 40% or more in the course(s) within the payment period.

The student withdrawal date is based on the date they withdrew with the office of the Registrar. If the student does not officially withdraw with the Registrar’s Office the last day of attendance is submitted by the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Financial Aid Office of any withdrawal.

Regulations require schools to perform calculations within 30 days from the date the school determines a student’s withdrawal. If an overpayment occurs, the school must return Title IV funds within 45 days of the calculation. If the student owes any Title IV funds, they have 45 days after receiving notice from the school to pay back Title IV funds.

The return to Title IV funds calculation is based on the amount of hours a student completed divided by the amount of time that was scheduled to be completed in their payment period of enrollment. Bradford-Union Area Career Technical Center is a clock hour school. Schools that measure student enrollment in standard term-based periods (semesters, trimesters, or quarters) must perform the calculation of earned vs. unearned Title IV aid on the basis of a payment period. Schools who measure student enrollment in non-term based periods may choose to use either a payment period or period of enrollment for all students in that program.

Students do not have to request a refund. All refunds will be made within 30 days from the date that the Bradford-Union Area Career Technical Center determines withdrawal or termination of a student.
