Tuition payments are due by the due date listed on a student’s Enrollment Agreement. Payments not made in full by the due date are considered late. A late payment fee in the amount of $15.00 or 10% of the installment payment, whichever is lesser, will be applied to the student’s account one day after the due date. Any student who is late with a payment may be removed from class and/or not allowed to progress until the account is made current. Further:
If a payment by check or draft is not honored by the drawee, then the student will be charged a fee up to $25 to the extent permitted by state law.
Should a student’s enrollment be terminated or cancelled for any reason, all refunds will be made according to the following refund schedule. This policy applies to all programs offered by the college.
Antigua College International reserves the right to cancel a scheduled course if attendance in that course does not meet a minimum number of students. A course will not continue past the third day of class if less than seven students are attending. The student’s account will be credited for the cancelled course.
The Drop-Add period at Antigua College International is defined as the first week of class meetings for each course start (see page 65 for the Drop Deadline Matrix). The student must notify the Education Department in writing which can be via email or by submitting the official drop form completed in person at the college.
Course Add:
With the Program Director’s permission, a student can choose to add a course to his/her schedule within the Drop-Add period, but only if space is available in that class. A student may not add a course after the Drop-Add period.
Course Withdrawal:
Drop with Attempted Credit Reversal:
Withdrawal without Attempted Credit Reversal:
PLEASE NOTE:
The student shall have the option to withdraw from the college at any time by giving written notice, in writing or in person, to the Director of Education or assigned staff member. Should the student be under 18 years of age, notification must be accompanied by a letter from the parent or guardian consenting to the withdrawal. The Date of Determination will be assigned as the day the student officially notified the college of the intent to withdraw. In the event that a student fails to officially notify the college, the Date of Determination will be designated as the last day of the payment period in which the student was most recently enrolled. All refunds will be processed as outlined in our refund policy. Students who withdraw from the college will be subject to a new enrollment agreement at the prevailing tuition rate at the time of readmission.
Students may secure completion and graduation data from the Education Department.
