● Students taking the minimum of four units per trimester complete the degree in three years.
Per unit tuition: $500.00
Full time: $6,000.00 per trimester
Half time: $3,000.00 per trimester
Minimum time: $2,000.00 per trimester
Total tuition: $18,000.00 ($500 X 36 units)
Upon admission, students are expected to make a 20 percent deposit of the total tuition for the first trimester within 15 days of admission. Full tuition payment is due not later than 15 days before the New Student Orientation date for each trimester.
Students enrolled on a full time basis only may apply to the School’s Financial Aid Office to pay tuition in four equal installments of $1,575.00 due at the beginning of each month in the trimester. All part-time students must pay in full prior to the first day of classes for each course.
TUITION REFUNDS:
Tuition is fully refunded if registration is canceled at least 15 days in advance of the New Student Orientation date for each trimester. Tuition is 75 percent refunded if cancelation is before the Orientation date, but after the 15 day cutoff date. Tuition is 50 percent refunded if cancelation is before the end the fourth week of classes. There are no refunds to students who withdraw after the fourth week of classes.
Refund policies are established in accordance with federal and state regulations and are subject to change at any time as such federal and state regulations are changed. Refunds are determined from the date of official withdrawal or approved leave of absence. Students who withdraw unofficially or at the request of the School are not entitled to refunds.
Refunds for withdrawal from the School will be made only after proper withdrawal forms have been submitted. Forms are available from the Registrar’s Office. Failure to properly notify the Dean of Faculty renders the student ineligible for any refund.
Full tuition is charged unless the student makes a formal withdrawal. A withdrawal is considered effective when the required forms have been submitted to the Dean of Faculty.
Refunds are payable thirty days after the official date of withdrawal. Students dropped or suspended from the School are not eligible for refunds.
TEXTBOOK FEES:
Students taking eight units or more pay $100.00 per trimester for access and use of Kindle textbooks. Students carrying less than eight units pay $60.00 per trimester.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID:
The School currently provides a limited number of direct grant scholarships and student loans based on a combination of need, prior work experience, and demonstrated interest in the field of breathing sciences. Once a student has been admitted to the School, application for a scholarship grant or loan is made in the form of a letter directly to the Chief Financial Officer of the School. The interest rate on student loans is a variable rate established by the Governing Board of the School.
Once accreditation has been received, the School intends to apply to participate in certain federal programs including those that provide funding for veterans and active duty military personnel who meet the admissions requirements.
