CSE Institutional Refund Policy .
Refund of Institutional Aid
Return of unearned institutional financial aid program funds will be made in the following order:
Any Institutional Grant or scholarship (limited by the total charges after refund calculation)
Institutional Loans Refund of Military Benefits
Military benefit funds are awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of military benefit funds originally awarded. CSE will return any unearned military benefit funds on a prorated basis through the period for which the funds were provided as per the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs policies. Military benefit funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned to the respective program based upon when a student stops attending.

CSE Cancellation and Refund Policy
If for any reason an applicant is not accepted by the school, the applicant is entitled to a refund of all monies paid.
Three-Day Cancellation: An applicant who provides written notice of cancellation within three days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and federal and state holidays) of signing an enrollment agreement is entitled to a refund of all monies paid. No later than 30 days of receiving the notice of cancellation, the school shall provide the 100% refund.
Other Cancellations: An applicant requesting cancellation more than three days after signing an enrollment agreement and making an initial payment, but prior to entering the school, is entitled to a refund of all monies paid, minus the admission/registration fee of $100.00.

CSE Refund after the commencement of classes:
Procedure for withdrawal/withdrawal date:
A student choosing to withdraw from the school after the commencement of classes is to provide written notice to the Dean of Student Affairs. The notice is to indicate the expected last date of attendance and be signed and dated by the student.
For a student who is on authorized Leave of Absence, the withdraw date is the date the student was scheduled to return from the Leave and failed to do so.
Use the last date of attendance as the date of withdrawal or termination to determine the percentage of time in the program that expired.
Determine that a student has withdrawn from CSE, if the student has not attended any class for 4 consecutive scheduled class days.

All refunds will be issued within 30 days of the determination of the withdrawal date.

Tuition charges/refunds:
Before beginning of classes, the student is entitled to a refund of 100% of the tuition, minus the admission/registration fee of $100.00 if after the 3 Day Cancellation period.
After the commencement of classes, the tuition refund, minus the admission/registration fee of $100.00 will be determined as follows:
– If 10 percent or less of the semester used has expired, a refund of at least 90 percent of the tuition charges for the semester will be refunded;
– If more than 10 percent but less than or equal to 20 percent of the semester used has expired, a refund of at least 80 percent of the tuition charges for the semester will be refunded;
– If more than 20 percent but less than or equal to 30 percent of the semester used has expired, a refund of at least 70 percent of the tuition charges for the semester will be refunded;
– If more than 30 percent but less than or equal to 40 percent of the semester used has expired, a refund of at least 60 percent of the tuition charges for the semester will be refunded;
– If more than 40 percent but less than or equal to 50 percent of the semester used has expired, a refund of at least 50 percent of the tuition charges for the semester will be refunded; and
– If more than 50 percent of the semester used has expired, no refund will be allowed.

The percentage of the semester used is determined by the number of class days scheduled per semester, from the student’s start date to the student’s last day of attendance, by the total number of scheduled class days in the semester.

Any books, supplies and fees REQUIRED by the program will be refunded IF the student has not attended any class and withdrew before the first class and purchased these items from the CSE Bookstore (Receipt is required for a refund.). Otherwise, no refunds for any of these will be issued, once a student has attended a class.

Refunds will be issued within 30 days of the date of student notification, or date of school determination (withdrawn due to absences or other criteria specified in the CSE Academic Catalog and or the CSE Student Handbook), or in the case of a student not returning from an authorized Leave of Absence (LOA), within 30 calendar days of the date the student was scheduled to return from the LOA and did not return.
