The cancellation will be determined by the postmark on the written notification, or the date the notice is delivered to the school. A student who cancels his/her enrollment agreement will be refunded all tuition charges collected by the School.

“Official” Voluntary Withdrawal

A student is considered to be “Officially” withdrawn on the date the student notifies the Financial Aid Leader or the Future Professional Advisor in writing, of notice to withdraw. The date of withdrawal for return and refund purposes will be the earliest of the following for official withdrawal:

  1. Date student provided official notification of notice to withdraw.
  2. The date the student began the withdrawal process from Paul Mitchell The School records. A student is allowed to rescind his/her notification in writing and continue the program. If the student subsequently drops, the student’s withdrawal date is the date of notification to withdraw
  3. Upon receipt of the withdrawal information, Paul Mitchell The School will complete the following:
    1. Determine the student’s last date of attendance as of the last recorded date of academic attendance on the school’s attendance record (date of determination).
    2. Review the student’s ledger card and attendance record to determine if a refund is due by applying the school’s refund policy and completing a Return to Title IV Funds calculation. Refunds due under this institutional refund policy will be made within 45 days of the last day of attendance if the student officially withdraws. Title IV refunds will be made within 45 days of the date the withdrawal determination was made, and recorded on student’s ledger card.
  4. Paul Mitchell The School will provide the student with a letter explaining the Title IV requirements. See the Return of Title IV Funds Policy for additional information regarding the return of Title IV funds.
    1. The amount of Title IV assistance the student has earned and will be responsible for repaying. This amount is based upon the length of time the student was scheduled to be in attendance and the amount of funds received.
    2. Any returns that will be made to the Federal program on the student’s behalf as a result of withdrawing from the program. If a student’s scheduled attendance is more than 60% of the payment period, he/she is considered to have earned 100% of the Federal funds received for the payment period and no refund will be made.
    3. Advise the student of the amount of unearned Federal funds and tuition and fees that the student must return, if applicable.
    4. Supply the student with ledger card record noting outstanding balance due to the school and the available methods of payment. A copy of the completed worksheet, check, letter and final ledger card will be kept in the student’s file.

In the event a student decides to rescind his or her official notification to withdraw, the student must provide a signed and dated written statement that he/she is continuing his or her program of study. Title IV assistance will continue as originally planned. If the student subsequently fails to attend or ceases attendance without completing the payment period, the student’s withdrawal date is the last date of attendance.

Students will not be charged for the kit if they withdraw from the program within the first 30 days of the first scheduled class date and return their kit un-opened and in new condition. (Please refer to the Return of Title IV Funds Policy for treatment of these items per Federal regulations)
