Refund Policy:

The American English Academy will refund tuition and material fees on a pro-rated basis in accordance with the conditions listed below.  The American English Academy will also refund the homestay placement fee and the airport pickup fee if these two services are not used by the student.  The American English Academy does not refund any other fees.

The student has the right to cancel the Enrollment Agreement for a course of instruction until midnight of the fifth business day after the first class you attended.  Business day means a day on which you were scheduled to attend a class session.  Cancellation shall occur when you give written notice of cancellation at the address of the school shown on the top of the front page of this agreement.  The student can do this by mail, hand delivery, or telegram.  The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail, properly addressed with postage prepaid.  The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, it is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by this agreement.  The student will be given two Notice of Cancellation forms to use at the first day of class, but you can use any written notice that you wish. Furthermore, you will be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any of the following occurs:

1. The school terminates your enrollment.

2. You fail to attend classes for a three-week period. In this case, the date of withdrawal shall be deemed to be the last date of recorded attendance.

If you withdraw from a course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation of the   agreement,  which is until midnight of the fifth business day following the first class you attended, the school will remit a refund less a registration fee, if applicable, not to exceed $75, within 30 (thirty) days following your withdrawal.  You are obligated to pay only for educational services rendered. The refund shall be the amount you paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours of instruction which you have not received but for which you have paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of hours of instruction for which you have paid.

If the school has given you any equipment, including books or other materials, you shall return it to the school within 30 days following the date of your notice of cancellation.  If you fail to return this equipment, including books, or other materials, in good condition within the 30-day period, the school may deduct its documented cost for the equipment from any refund that may be due to you.  Once you pay for the equipment, it is yours to keep without further obligation.  If you cancel the Agreement, the school will refund any money that you paid, less any deduction for equipment not timely returned in good condition, within 30 days after your notice of cancellation is received.
