Antigua College International makes institutional loans available to students to defray tuition and education costs. Any student receiving this loan is required to make monthly in-school payments as agreed to on the Enrollment Agreement. See also Late Payment Policy below. At least sixty percent of the total institutional loan must be paid by time of program completion. A student that has not paid at least sixty percent of the institutional loan will not be eligible to graduate.

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:

• Any student thirty days past due on their monthly payment will not be allowed to enroll in a new class.
• Any student sixty days past due on their monthly payment will automatically be withdrawn for non-payment.

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.

1. Cancellation can be made in person, by electronic mail, by Certified Mail or by termination.
2. All monies will be refunded if the school does not accept the applicant or if the student cancels within three business days after signing the enrollment agreement and making initial payment.
3. Cancellation after the third (3rd) Business Day, but before the first class, results in a refund of all monies paid, with the exception of the registration fee.
4. Cancellation after attendance has begun, through 40% completion of the program credits/hours, will result in a Pro Rata refund computed on the number of credits/hours attempted to the total program credits/hours.
5. Cancellation after completing more than 40% of the program will result in no refund.
6. Termination Date: In calculating the refund due to a student, the last date of actual attendance by the student is used in the calculation unless earlier written notice is received.
7. Refunds will be made within 30 days of termination of students' enrollment or receipt of cancellation notice from student.

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:

• A student may voluntarily withdraw from a course within the Drop-Add Period without penalty. No penalty is incurred only if the student notifies the Education Department of the intention during the Drop-Add Period. If notification is received after the Drop-Add Period, the student is not eligible for a credit reversal.
• If a student fails to attend class during the Drop-Add Period without notifying the Education Department, s/he will automatically be dropped from the class at the end of the Drop-Add Period and will receive a credit reversal.

Withdrawal without Attempted Credit Reversal:

• A student may voluntarily withdraw from a course after the Drop-Add Period at any point prior to the Midterm exam without reversal of Attempted Credit. However, the student must notify the Education Department of his/her intention to drop a course, in person or in writing. This student will receive a grade of “W”, will incur Attempted Credits, and will be financially responsible for the associated course cost.

PLEASE NOTE:

• [i] Failure to notify the Education Department of intent to withdraw will result in a course failure.
• [ii] The student will not be allowed subsequent drops of the same course.
• [iii] Once the midterm exam has been administered in the course, completion of the course is obligatory regardless of its outcome (e.g. failure). The student cannot withdraw.

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.
