Refunds for Withdrawals and Dismissals for Classes that start during the fall semester
Dismissals will occur when the teacher writes, by certified mail return receipt requested, to AP Homeschoolers (105 Richman LN, Kittanning PA 16201) notifying us that the student has been dismissed from the class because of the student's failure to complete class requirements. The date of dismissal will be indicated by the date that the certified letter was postmarked.
Withdrawals will occur when the parent writes, by certified mail return receipt requested, to AP Homeschoolers (105 Richman LN, Kittanning PA 16201) notifying us that the student is withdrawing from the class. The date of withdrawal will be indicated by the date that the certified letter was postmarked. In that letter, the parent must include the reason that the student is withdrawing from the class.
The family will receive a refund from AP Homeschoolers based upon the remaining portion of the class for withdrawals or dismissals that occur before January 1:
- For withdrawals or dismissals before August 1, parents will receive a refund equal to 90% of the tuition price. The other 10% is a non-refundable registration deposit.
- For withdrawals or dismissals before September 1, parents will receive a refund equal to 80% of the tuition. The other 20% is a non-refundable registration deposit.
- For withdrawals or dismissals in September, parents will receive a refund equal to 70% of the tuition.
- For withdrawals or dismissals in October parents will receive a refund equal to 60% of the tuition.
- For withdrawals or dismissals in November parents will receive a refund equal to 50% of the tuition.
- For withdrawals or dismissals in December or after, parents will receive no tuition refund.
The same refund policy applies when parents transfer a student from one AP Homeschoolers class to another except that the refund will be 5% of the tuition higher. For example, if a parent transfers a student from one AP Homeschoolers class to another before August 1, the refund on the first class would be 95%, which would be put toward the tuition of the second class (with any extra being returned to the parent).
When students are dismissed from a class after November because of the student's failure to complete class requirements, no refund will be given.
Refunds for withdrawals after November would only be given when a teacher has been failing to fulfill his or her class commitments. Where such refunds are granted they will be based upon the following schedule:
- The maximum refund for a withdrawal during December would be 40% of the tuition.
- The maximum refund for a withdrawal during January would be 30% of the tuition.
- The maximum refund for a withdrawal during February would be 20% of the tuition.
- The maximum refund for a withdrawal during March would be 10% of the tuition.
No refunds will be given for any reason whatsoever after March.
