| As long as you NEVER have a trouble or personal issue arise, you will do fine in this over puffed and over priced school of high pressured sales tactic "counslors" and "advisors". I had to withdraw due to personal reasons, it took 6 months for them to drop me from the school. I kept being told that I had to pay for the rest of the quarter so I have better attend so as to not loose my money. According to my agreement that was correct and very clear. However the QTR dates are NOT so clear. To me, a single QTR means 1 - 3month period of time, with 4 QTR's being in a (1 singular) year. So, when I was charged for 5 QTR's of attendence in 1 year, of course that raised a BIG red flag. Here I am four years later and still disputing this with them. Their reasons, I attended a 5th QTR, somewhere, in that first year. No where could I find in any of the paperwork I was sent that I was going to be billed on a per QTR basis and I was going to be BILLED no matter what. Even if you take a course off, you pay for it. THEY DO NOT ISSUE YOU CREDITS FOR EXCUSED REASONS FOR NOT ATTENDING DURING A SCHEDULED YEAR. Why would they tell you this? Also, as many of my emails say, APPLICATION FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, even if they promise and say they will, they lie. Bottom line, I got wrangled and now I am fighting a losing battle with this School, since they have special rights regarding monies due to them. You are not protect in this, they are, so make certain you have control over the money paid to them, and only pay what is due at the time it is due. Don't let them pressure you into signing up or continuing. They want you to attend no matter what. Your money adds to their revenue, and their bottom line is of more importance to them than your life and future.
