Refund Policy
Refund Policy Should a student’s enrollment be terminated or cancelled for any reason, all refunds will be made according to the following refund schedule:
Cancellation can be made in person, by electronic mail, by Certified Mail or by termination.
After signing the enrollment agreement and making initial payment, all monies will be refunded if the International Institute of Orthotics and Prosthetics does not accept the applicant or if the student cancels before the first day of class.
Withdrawal from International Institute of Orthotics and Prosthetics within 1 week of the start of the semester will result in a full refund of tuition, books and supplies that may be returned to the institution.
Withdrawal after 1 week of the start of the semester will result in forfeit of all tuition and fees.
Refunds will be made within 30 days of termination of students’ enrollment or receipt of Cancellation Notice from student.
If the student is not in attendance for the first 3 days of the semester, they are automatically dropped from the program and receive a full refund
Withdrawal
Students who stop attending the Orthotics and Prosthetics Curriculum must officially withdraw from the International Institute of Orthotics and Prosthetics. Students desiring to withdraw in good standing must secure a Request for Authorized Withdrawal form from the Administrative Office and the form must be properly completed and returned. The student’s official withdrawal date will begin the date the student gave official notification of intent to withdraw by obtaining the form; at this time, the student is expected to not attend any classes and will have seven (7) calendar days to return the form, completed in entirety, to the Administrative Office. If the student continues to attend class, the official withdrawal date will be the last day of attendance. If the student does not return the form within the seven calendar days of the initial obtainment date, the official withdrawal date will be the date the completed form was returned to the Administrative Office
Returning after Withdrawal
Students who left the Institute in good academic standing and now wish to reenroll within a year of their withdrawal date will normally be allowed to resume academic studies where they finished and will be subject to the tuition rate at the time they return. However, if a student leaves in poor academic standing, the resumption of academic studies will be at the discretion of the appropriate Program Director. The Program Director may consult with other relevant personnel regarding this request. In either case, the student may be required to follow a remedial academic plan determined by the Program Director.
A student who left the Institute in good academic standing and now wishes to reenroll more than a year after their withdrawal date will normally have to start the program over. However, the student may apply for advanced standing to receive credit for prior coursework. The awarding of advanced standing is made at the discretion of the Program Director of Students. The Program Director may consult with other relevant personnel regarding this request. If the student left in poor academic standing, they would receive no credit for prior coursework and will have to start over.
In all circumstances, a student must complete the Orthotics and Prosthetics Master of Science program within four (4) calendar years from the date of their first matriculation in coursework.
