Withdrawal and Refund Policy (GA)

A student may withdraw from the course at any time by submitting a Withdrawal Request Form. However, the student will only be entitled to a refund based on the following criteria:

• You may terminate this agreement at any time.
• If you wish to terminate this agreement, you must inform the school in writing of your termination, which will become effective on the day, such writing is mailed (postmarked) or emailed (date received).
• Upon requesting a withdrawal, you must complete the following steps:
  • Notify your instructor via email of your wish to withdraw.
  • Schedule a call with your instructor to discuss available options and confirm your intent to withdraw.
  • Complete the AHDPG Withdrawal Request Form.
  • Complete the AHDPG Refund or Balance Due Form.
  • Make any payments due at the time of your withdrawal.
• Upon successful completion of the Withdrawal Process outlined above, you will receive a pro-rated refund of tuition* and fees, except for the Application Fee, based on the percentage of the program completed, as long as the student has requested withdrawal before 50% of the course/program is completed.  No refund is due upon completing 50% of the defined length of the program.
• Refunds are made via the credit card or bank account on account within 45 days of withdrawal.

Note: Tuition Refunds listed above are based on a percentage of tuition and may not reflect the actual amount to be refunded. In addition, the actual tuition refund will be based on payments made to AHDPG and in the case of a student with a Monthly Payment Plan may result in a student having a balance due at the time of withdrawal. Student and/or guardian authorizes AHDPG to process any balance due at the time of withdrawal via the payment (credit card or bank account) outlined in this Agreement.

Any student withdrawing from the program will need to reapply for admission following our readmission policy.

Withdrawal Requests

Before requesting a withdrawal, students are encouraged to communicate with their instructor about other available options, such as extensions or deferrals/leaves of absence; full policies are covered in this Handbook.

If a student ultimately decides to withdraw, the student may request a Withdrawal Request Form from their instructor. Once the request has been received, Accounting will provide the calculations of any refund or balance due per the terms of the Withdrawal and Refund Policy and will return this form to the student to review and complete. The withdrawal will be processed only after the student has reviewed these calculations and completed the Payment/Refund Information of the form, thereby confirming the agreement. Any questions regarding the calculations or payment options may be directed to Accounting/Student Services.
