      The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by CA. residents who were students attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. You may be eligible for STRF if you are a CA resident, prepaid tuition, paid STRF assessment and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following: 1. The school closed before the course of instruction was completed 2. The school's failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees, or other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school. 3. The school's failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other cost 4.There was a material failure to comply with the Act of this Division within 30 days prior to closure, the period determined by the Bureau. 5. An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for a violation of the Act.
The Student Tuition Recovery Fee (STRF) is non-refundable through attendance at the first class session or the (7th) seventh day  after enrollment, whichever is later.

Extra Instruction Charges:  As a courtesy to students, two extra weeks are added to the expected graduation date based on their contracted schedule to cover unexpected absences, requiring the student to need more time to complete the required hours and operations, without assessing additional charges. The two-week (2) courtesy period coves all absences, including those due to illness, court dates, jury duty or any other extended period of absence for any reason (including suspension for violation of school rules) except for absence due to an approved Leave of Absence. Students who do not meet the calculated scheduled date of completion will be assessed an extra tuition charge of $10 per hour over the scheduled hours of attendance needed to complete the course requirements. 

Transfer Students: $8.00 to $12.00 (depending upon chosen course) per clock hour of remaining hours, plus the registration fee of $75. PLEASE NOTE: We do not normally accept transfer students who have completed ½ or more of the course hours at another school, however, upon approval by the owner, exceptions may be made on an individual evaluation basis.
