Non-attendance or notifying the instructor does not constitute officially dropping or withdrawing from a course. Students who stop attending credit courses without officially dropping will receive a grade of WU or No Credit in the class. Refunds are not automatic. NO refunds are due unless the course is officially dropped within stated guidelines in the refund schedule. Students can expect to receive refunds approximately four weeks from the date the request is received. Refunds may be applied against other amounts due the University. No refund is made for amounts of less than $10.

b) Refund requests on or after the first day of class must be made in writing. Unless otherwise stated, in courses of five or more meetings, 65% of the fee will be refunded until 25% of the course time has elapsed, after which time there is no refund and a “W” will be recorded for the course. For courses of four or less class meetings, no refund. Online course meetings are equal to one week of class time. Drop/Refund/ Withdrawal requests made after the last day of class will be by petition only for serious and compelling reasons.

Inland Northwest Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America (NWAGC) Refunds for all online blueprint reading courses and construction classes will be issued in accordance with the AGC Education Center’s official Refund Policy for Online Classes.

Here is an excerpt of their drop/refund policy:

Cancellation & Refund Policy for Online Programs
Students may request cancellation in any manner.

Applicants may cancel up to five business days after signing the enrollment agreement. In the event of a dispute over timely notice, the burden to prove service rests on the applicant.

Students canceling after the fifth calendar day but before the first lesson has been turned in will be responsible for a registration fee of $50 or 15% of tuition, whichever is greater but not to exceed $150.

If the class is terminated by the student after the first lesson has been turned in the school may retain the registration fee as established under #3 of this subsection, plus a percentage of the total tuition as described in the following table. The percentage will be calculated by dividing the total number of lessons in the class by the number of lessons turned in by the student.

If the student completes this percentage of lessons:

- 0% – 10%
- 11% – through 25%
- 26% through 50%
- More than 50%

The school may keep this % of the tuition cost:

- - 10%
  - 25%
  - 50%
  - 100%
