REFUND POLICY

Should the Student’s enrollment be terminated or should the Student withdraw for any reason, all refunds will be made according to the following refund schedule.

​

1. Students who wish to cancel their enrollment in a program must do so in writing. The request must include the date of withdrawal and must be dated and signed by the Student. This letter must be received within one week of the withdrawal (5 business days) to receive tuition reimbursement for that week. Tuition reimbursement will begin the week the notification is received. It is best to hand-deliver the withdrawal letter and have a copy signed by the Director or Co-Director, or mail the letter by Certified Mail.

2. All monies will be refunded if the applicant is not accepted by the School or if the Student cancels within three (3) business days after the enrollment agreement is signed by both parties, even if instruction has begun.

3. Cancellation after the third (3rd) business day, but before the first class, will result in a refund of all monies paid, with the exception of the registration fee and the Grooming Kit, which is the property of the Student.

4. Withdrawal after attendance has begun is based on the following reimbursement scale:

A Student who has a Student loan and withdraws from the program is responsible for notifying the loan institution of withdrawal from the School. This notification should be done in writing. It should include the date of withdrawal, the Student’s social security number and signature. Students should maintain a copy of this letter for their files.

Clip Shoppe School of Dog Grooming encourages the development of good business practices in their Students. It is in this regard that we remind the withdrawing Student that the date of withdrawal on the letter to the Director must be the same date as on the letter to the loan institution.
