the semester indicated on this enrollment agreement. Total program price is estimated based on current tuition and other costs. I understand tuition, and therefore total program
cost, for semesters not yet begun may be adjusted by the school to reflect changing costs in education. The school will notify me by mail or email in the event of a cost increase.
I further understand total semester and program prices do not include proctoring services, manuals or special equipment I may borrow or purchase to support my coursework.

Student Protection/Refund Policy
Students who wish to withdraw must communicate their withdrawal request to the Student Services Department. Students are strongly encouraged to submit their withdrawal
request by email (stuserv@uscareerinstitute.edu); however, students may communicate their request by phone (800.347.7899) or letter (2001 Lowe Street, Fort Collins, CO 80525)
if needed. Upon withdrawal, tuition for each semester will be recalculated according to how many assignments/exams the student completed, deducting all payments made. If an
enrollment is not accepted, all monies paid by the applicant will be refunded. The official date of termination is the date USCI receives notice from the student. Upon cancellation,
the amount due to U.S. Career Institute or the amount refunded to the student is calculated according to the following schedule: 1. If the student cancels within five (5) calendar
days of enrollment in the program, the student may cancel the enrollment and is entitled to a full refund of all monies paid. 2. If the student cancels six (6) calendar days or more
after enrollment in the program and has not submitted an assignment/exam, they are entitled to a reduction in tuition and fees. The adjusted tuition charge is $0. The cancellation
(registration) charge is $150 per program, not to exceed 20% of the total program cost, for the one-time cancellation (registration) charge. The cancellation (registration) charge is
only applicable to semester one. If the student paid more than the cancellation (registration) charge due, he/she is entitled to a refund for the total paid in excess of the charge. If
the student has paid less than the cancellation (registration) charge due, the student owes U.S. Career Institute the difference in cancellation (registration) charge and the amount the
student paid. 3. If the student cancels six (6) calendar days or more after enrollment in the program and has submitted an assignment/exam, tuition will be adjusted. If the student
paid more than the adjusted tuition, he/she is entitled to a refund for the total paid in excess of the adjusted tuition. If the student paid less than the adjusted tuition, he/she will owe
U.S. Career Institute the difference in the tuition paid and the adjusted tuition. Adjusted course tuition is based on the percent of each semester completed. Refunds in items are
exclusive of books, tools and supplies. The adjusted tuition charge is based on the following schedule: a) If the student completes up to 10 percent of the assignments/exams in the
semester, he/she is entitled to a 90% reduction in tuition. b) If the student completes after 10 but before the first 25 percent of the assignments/exams in the semester, he/she is entitled to
a 75% reduction in tuition. c) If the student completes after 25 and before the first 50 percent of the assignments/exams in the semester, he/she is entitled to a 50% reduction in tuition.
d) If the student completes after 50 and before the first 75 percent of the assignments/exams in the semester, he/she is entitled to a 25% reduction in tuition. e) If the student completes
76 percent or more of the assignments/exams in the course, he/she is not entitled to a reduction of the course’s tuition and will owe all tuition and fees/charges. 4. Students have one year
to complete each semester. Semester one’s start date is the day of enrollment. Semesters two through four begin when the following two events occur: 1) the last assignment for the last
course in the previous semester or the first assignment/exam from the new semester is submitted and 2) when the first course of the new semester is shipped to the student. If the student
does not complete a semester within the time allotted and has not cancelled, the student is not entitled to a refund and U.S. Career Institute is entitled to the full tuition for the semester.
All other student rights remain in place. 5. U.S. Career Institute issues refunds within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of cancellation. 6. Credit granted for previous training or
coursework will not impact the refund policy. 7. Except as outlined in #1 of this student protection/refund policy, shipping/handling and the application charge are not refundable. Charges
for NSF, late payment, expedited shipping and books ordered by the student are not refundable. 8. If a course is discontinued by the school prior to the end of the semester, the student is
entitled to a full refund (except in the event the school ceases operation). 9. A $30 NSF charge will be assessed on payments returned for insufficient funds. A $10 late charge is assessed
for payments not received by the due date. Note: Other than the cancellation (registration) charge, the refund policy is based on percent of assignments complete, not time.
Sample Refund Calculation: A student who lives in Colorado cancels semester one enrollment after completing 11 out of 30 assignments which is 37% of the semester. The
sample student enrolled six months ago at a tuition of $1989, application charge of $75 and shipping of $40. The student paid a total of $834 (Tuition $719, application charge $75,
shipping $40). The refund calculation is as follows:
- $1989 - $150 (registration fee) = $1839
- $1839 x 0.50 (50% tuition per the outlined percent brackets in the refund policy) = $919.50
- 919.50 + $150 (registration fee) + $75 (application charge) + $40 (shipping) = $1184.50 cancellation amount
- $1184.50 cancellation amount - $834 already paid by student = $350.50 due from student to the school
