- Tuition & Fees Refund Policy
If a student withdraws, drops, or for some reason, fails to complete a period for which they have paid the tuition, Mid-America will calculate what, if any, refund needs to be made.
Excludable costs from the total amount of institutional costs for the Practical Nursing Program are as follows: (a) no refund will be made for fees (which includes laptop) and consumed course supplies and (b) no refund will be made for e-textbooks or software. Mid-America Technology Center will apply the same refund calculation to all students.
- Students who withdraw on or before the 1st day of class through the 15th day of the period in which they were charged are eligible for a 100% refund of tuition only.
- After the 15th day of the period in which they were charged, NO refund will be issued.
- Nonattendance of classes does not constitute official withdrawal. The student must complete an official withdrawal form in order to be eligible for a refund.
- A refund request will not be approved unless all financial obligations to the technology center have been met.
By accepting a refund, the practical nursing student releases the school from the right to return to the nursing program if eligible by policy. See dismissal / return policy for other considerations.
FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID REFUND POLICY
In addition to MATC’s refund policy, students receiving Title IV Federal Financial Aid are subject to the following:
The institution must determine the amount of federal financial aid to return based on a pro-rata basis. If the student withdraws before completing more than 60% of the payment period, the student must return unearned funds (see the financial aid office for detailed calculations). The student will be billed for any unearned funds including the amount of institutional charges (tuition, fees, books, supplies) the school had to return on the students behalf.
