`When a veteran or other eligible student fails or ceases to attend classes, withdraws or is discontinued from class attendance before completion, the school will refund a pro-rata portion of all charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to the total length of the course. The exact prorating will be determined by the ratio of the number of hours of instruction completed by the student to the total number of hours in the total course. The non–refundable portion of the application fee will not exceed $10.00.
