Terms and Conditions

Refund Information

You have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund. Requests for cancellation and refunds may be made in any manner. Students are asked to return course materials to:

Allied Business Schools, Inc.
Attn:  Refund Department
22952 Alcalde Dr.
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
(888) 925-4282
refunds@alliedschools.com

If you wish to cancel within the first five (5) business days after enrollment, you have the right to receive a full refund of all charges. In this case, you are asked to refuse all UPS shipments from Allied Schools.

If you wish to cancel after the fifth business day but before any lessons are submitted, you are entitled to a full refund minus a non-refundable registration fee of 20% of the cost of the course (not to exceed $200).

Any refunds for cancellations will be paid within 30 days.

 

Refund Information

If you have completed at least one lesson but no more than 60% of the lessons in the course and wish to withdraw, you are entitled to receive a “pro-rata” refund for the unused portion of the tuition until the course termination date (see enrollment agreement for exact termination dates). Refunds will be paid according to the following formula:

A non-refundable registration fee of 20% of the cost of the course (not to exceed $200) is deducted from the total amount paid for the course. The remaining amount is then divided by the total number of lessons in the course. This amount constitutes the “per lesson” charge for the course. Finally, the number of incomplete lessons in the course is multiplied by the “per lesson” charge. The remaining amount is the refund that is owed to you.

If you have completed more than 60% of the lessons in the course and wish to withdraw, you would not be entitled to a refund.

The refund period ends on the initial course termination date, even if an extension is granted in order for you to complete any unfinished lessons.

Any refunds for cancellations will be paid within 30 days.

 

The Distance Education and Training Council

Allied Business Schools, Inc. has been granted national accreditation by the distinguished Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). The accreditation was based on state and federal agency reviews, financial audits, on-site inspections, student and alumni surveys, and a rigorous process of self-examination. The Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency.

As defined by the DETC, accreditation "assures students that the institution operates on a sound financial basis, has an approved program of study, qualified instructors, adequate facilities and equipment, approved recruitment and admissions policies, and advertises its courses truthfully."

 

Extension Policy:

If a student is unable to complete a course by the course end date, he/she may request a one-time complimentary six-month extension. A student who is granted an extension is made aware that the right to a refund still terminates on the original enrollment end date and does not carry through to the extension period. The extension period starts the day after the course end date, regardless of when it was requested or granted. The extension request must be made by the student prior to the course end date.*

 

Re-Enrollment Policy:

If a student is unable to complete a course by the end date of the six-month extension period, he/she may request to be re-enrolled in the course for a period of one year. No refund can be granted as the right to a refund would have terminated on the original enrollment end date. The fee for the re-enrollment is 15% of the current price of the course. If the same version of the course is still being used, then the student can continue from the point he/she left off. However, if a newer version of the course is being used, then the student must be enrolled in that newer version and start the coursework from the beginning. The re-enrollment period starts the day after the extension end date, regardless of when it was requested or granted. The re-enrollment request must be made by the student prior to the end date of the six-month extension period.*

*If a student does not request an extension or a re-enrollment prior to the end dates indicated above, but still wishes to complete the course, he/she will have to enroll in the current version of the course at the current course price, minus a 10% alumni discount. The student will also have to start the coursework from the beginning, regardless if he/she is placed in the same version or in a newer version of the course.
