Student Right to Cancel

You have the right to cancel your agreement for a program of instruction, without any penalty or obligations, through attendance at the first class session or the seventh calendar day after enrollment, whichever is later. After the end of the cancellation period, you also have the right to stop school at any time; and you have the right to receive a pro rata refund if you have completed 60 percent or less of the scheduled days in the current payment period in your program through the last day of attendance.

 

Cancellation may occur when the student provides a written notice of cancellation, by mail or by hand delivery, at the following address:

 

World Mission University Admissions Office

500 Shatto Place, Suite 400

Los Angeles, CA 90020

 

Withdrawal from the Program

You may withdraw from the school at any time after the cancellation period (described above) and receive a pro rata refund if you have completed 60 percent or less of the scheduled days in the current payment period in your program through the last day of attendance. The refund will be less admission fee and application fee.  If the student has completed more than 60% of the period of attendance for which the student was charged, the tuition is

 

considered earned and the student will receive no refund.

For the purpose of determining a refund, a student shall be deemed to have withdrawn from a program of instruction when any of the following occurs:

 

  • The student notifies WMU of the student’s withdrawal or as of the date of the student’s withdrawal, whichever is later;
  • WMU terminates the student’s enrollment for failure to maintain satisfactory progress; failure to abide by the rules and regulations of the institution; absences in excess of maximum set forth by the institution; and/or failure to meet financial obligations to WMU;
  • The student has failed to attend class for three (3) consecutive weeks; and
  • The student fails to return from a leave of absence.

 

Refund Policy

For the purpose of determining the amount of the refund, the date of the student’s withdrawal shall be deemed the last date of recorded attendance. The amount owed equals the daily charge for the program (total institutional charge, minus non-refundable fees, divided by the number of days in the program), multiplied by the number of days scheduled to attend, prior to withdrawal.  For the purpose of determining when the refund must be paid, the student shall be deemed to have withdrawn at the end of three (3) consecutive weeks.  If the student has completed more than 60% of the period of attendance for which the student was charged, the tuition is considered earned and the student will receive no refund.

 

If any portion of the tuition was paid from the proceeds of a loan or third party, the refund shall be sent to the lender, third party or, if appropriate, to the state or federal agency that guaranteed or reinsured the loan.  Any amount of the refund in excess of the unpaid balance of the loan shall be first used to repay any student financial aid programs from which the student received benefits, in proportion to the amount of the benefits received, and any remaining amount shall be paid to the student. If the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds.
