Refunds for Students Receiving Veterans Benefits
Gutenberg College’s refund policy for veterans complies with CFR21.4255. In the event the veteran or eligible person fails to enter a course, withdraws, or is dismissed at any time prior to completion, any unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges is refunded. Any amount in excess of $10 of the application fee is subject to proration. The amount charged will not exceed the exact pro-rata portion of total charges; the length of the completed portion of the course will be prorated over its total length, and the exact proration will be determined by the ratio of the number of days of instruction completed by the student to the total number of instructional days in the course. Refunds are made within forty days of the last date of the student’s attendance. The amount refunded will be the greater of the following: a refund in accord with Gutenberg College’s established refund policy or a refund in accord with the veterans refund policy stated above.
