Refunds shall be:

1. 80% of program fees, material fees and out–of–state tuition if application for refund is made before or at the time 10% of the course’s total hours of instruction have been completed.
2. 60% of program fees, materials fees and out–of–state tuition if application for refund is made after 10% but before more than 20% of the course’s potential hours of instruction have been completed.
3. No refund shall be granted if application is made after 20% of the course’s total potential hours of instruction have been completed.
