Tuition Refund Policy for Transitional and Post-Professional Programs

Student’s Right to Cancel

You may withdraw from a degree program at any time. Contact the director of your degree program at 1 University Boulevard, St Augustine, FL 32086 to request withdrawal from the program. You may contact the Registration Office by phone at 904-826-0084, ext. 1266, to withdraw from an individual seminar.

Continuing Education Seminar Fee Refund Policy

A $100.00 non-refundable deposit must accompany your registration form. The balance of the fee is due 30 days prior to the starting date of the seminar; unpaid balances may be subject to forfeited registration. The balance may be transferred or refunded with a 2-week notice prior to the start date of the seminar. Cancellation up to 3 working days prior to the start of the seminar will result in 50% of the balance being refunded. With 3 working days’ notice, no portion of the seminar fee will be refunded; however, the fee may be transferred to another seminar of the student’s choosing or placed in a “funds on hold” account. Transfer of funds is limited to two seminars. After the seminar begins, no refunds are issued or transfer of funds permitted. If a student misses any portion of a seminar, a certificate of completion will not be issued until such portion is made up. A student can attend a subsequently scheduled seminar at no cost to make up the time and then receive his/her certificate upon successful completion. For online continuing education unit (CEU) seminars please refer to the Academic Credit Refund policy.

In the event of employer paid registrations, the employer has the right to cancel the registration under the above policy. The therapist will be contacted and may be given the option to remain registered for the seminar and become the responsible party for the fee.

Academic Credit Refund Policy

The University of Saint Augustine for Health Sciences has an established add/drop period that is the first week (7 days) of each semester. All tuition, excluding the application fee, will be refunded to students who withdraw within the add/drop period.

The technology fee is refundable before the term has begun and non-refundable once the term has begun.

For students who withdraw (including transfers and leaves of absence) from ALL classes on or before 60% of the term has elapsed, USAHS will calculate, according to federal regulations, any amounts received by USAHS that must be returned to the payee (lender or student).

Step 1: Determine the percentage of the enrollment period the student attended before withdrawing using the last day of determined attendance (days attended divided by total days in the period).

Step 2: Determine the amount of tuition earned by school by multiplying the total tuition/fee charged by the percentage of time enrolled.

Step 3: Compare the amount of tuition earned by the school to the amount received by the school. If more funds were received by the school than tuition earned by the school, determine the amount of funds that must be returned by subtracting the tuition earned by the school amount from the amount received by the school.

Step 4: Distribute the unearned tuition received by the school back to the appropriate lender program or payee.

You will be billed for any amount due to USAHS as a result of tuition not being paid at time of withdraw and would have been used to cover USAHS charges.

If a student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest less the amount of any refund. If the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the monies not paid from federal student financial aid program funds.

All refunds will be made within 30 days of the date the University determines that the student has withdrawn.
