Primary Course Catalog 7. Leaving the Course Withdrawal The student may withdraw from the course by submitting a written letter of withdrawal. Withdrawal from the course is not official until the request has been received by the Director of Training. Refunds are processed according to the refund policy (see below). Interruption Occasionally students must leave a course because of illness, pregnancy, or other circumstances. The student may apply in writing for a leave of absence and then may, at the discretion of the Director of Training, rejoin the course the next time it is offered, starting at a point in the course when it would be possible to complete all of the course requirements. (Note that there is no guarantee, implicit or explicit, that a subsequent course will follow a previous schedule.) In the case of interruption of a summer course, in which more than one year elapses between one course cycle and the next, special review procedures may be required. An interruption from the course is not official until the request has been properly approved and has the signature of the Director of Training. If the interruption is for longer than a year, the student must consult with the Director of Training and may be required to re-apply for admission into the full length of the course. Dismissal Students may be asked to discontinue the course for medical, psychological, academic, or other cogent reasons. Dismissal occurs only after application of the appeals policy. This policy is kept on file in the office of MIA and is available to students. Refund Policy All monies paid by an enrolled student in excess of the application fee and deposit are refunded if requested by the student before scheduled classes begin. All monies paid by an enrolled student in excess of the application fee are refunded if requested within three (3) calendar days after signing an enrollment contract and making a payment of tuition. For a student terminating enrollment up to the 50% point of the course, 50% of the total tuition will be refunded. After the 50% point of the course, the student is responsible for 100% of all tuition and fees. This policy is based on continuation of courses offered by the Montessori Institute of Atlanta (MIA), as each course offered is based on the number of enrolled students. Students are advised to seek a tuition insurance policy to safeguard against unanticipated injury, illness or death. The Montessori Institute of Atlanta is not responsible for loan arrangements and financial obligations of students related to other grantors or lenders. |
