Refund Policy

Legitimate Look Barber and Beauty Academy Refund Policy applies to all terminations for any reason, by either party, including student decision, course or program cancellation or school closure for all students.   For applicants who cancel enrollment or students who withdraw from enrollment a fair and equitable settlement will apply.  The following policy will apply to all terminations for any reason, by either party, including student decision, course or program cancellation, or school closure. 

*Note: For the purpose of the refund policy, the student’s official withdrawal is the date the student initiated the withdrawal process or notified the school of their intention to withdraw. In the event of an unofficial withdrawal, the school determines the student’s last date of attendance that is documented in the school’s records and uses that date as the withdrawal date.  

Official cancellation or withdrawal shall occur on the earlier of the dates that:

A. An applicant is not accepted by the school. The applicant shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid.

B. A student (or legal guardian) cancels his/her enrollment in writing within three business days of signing the enrollment agreement. In this case all monies collected by the school shall be refunded, regardless of whether or not the student has actually started classes.

C. A student cancels his/her enrollment after three business days of signing the contract but prior to starting classes. In these cases, he/she shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid to the school less the registration fee in the amount of $150.00.

D. A student notifies the school of his/her withdrawal in writing.

E. A student on an approved leave of absence notifies the school that he/she will not be returning. The date of withdrawal shall be the earlier of the date of expiration of the leave of absence or the date the student notifies the institution that the student will not be returning.

F. A student is expelled by the school. (Unofficial withdrawals will be determined by the institution by monitoring attendance at least every 30 days.) 

G. In type B, C, D, or E, official cancellations or withdrawals, the cancellation date will be determined by the postmark on the written notification, or the date said notification is delivered to the school administrator or owner in person. 

 

*For students who enroll and begin classes but withdraw prior to course completion (after three business days of signing the contract), the following schedule of tuition earned by the school applies. All refunds are based on scheduled hours:                   

Percentage of scheduled time enrolled to total course/program

Total tuition school shall receive/retain

*All refunds will be calculated based on the student’s last date of attendance. Any monies due a student who withdraws shall be refunded within 45 days of a determination that a student has withdrawn, whether officially or unofficially.  In the case of disabling illness or injury, death in the student's immediate family or other documented mitigating circumstances, a reasonable and fair refund settlement will be made. If permanently closed or no longer offering instruction after a student has enrolled and instruction has begun, the school will provide a prorated refund of tuition to the student OR provide course completion through a pre-arranged teach out agreement with another institution.  If the course is canceled subsequent to a student's enrollment and before instruction has begun, the school will either provide a full refund of all monies paid or completion of the course at a later time.  If the course is cancelled after students have enrolled and instruction has begun, the school shall provide a pro rata refund for all students transferring to another school based on the hours accepted by the receiving school OR provide completion of the course OR participate in a Teach-Out Agreement OR provide a full refund of all monies paid. 

The requirements for Title IV program funds when you withdraw are separate from the school’s Institutional Refund Policy. Therefore, you may still owe funds to the school to cover unpaid institutional charges. The school may also charge you for any Title IV funds that the school was required to return.

• VA Education Benefits students who withdraw will be reported to VA as terminated and may be subject to a refund due to the VA. The school’s institutional refund policy may also apply. 

• The cost of books and equipment are not included in tuition adjustment computations. These items are nonrefundable and become property of the student when paid in full. All books and equipment are to be kept on the premises until the last day of attendance. Monies collected are credited to tuition first.

• Students who withdraw or terminate prior to course completion are charged a withdrawal/termination fee of $150.00.  This refund policy applies to tuition and fees charged in the enrollment agreement.  Other miscellaneous charges the student may have incurred at the institution (EG: extra kit materials, books, products, unreturned school property, etc.) will be calculated separately at the time of withdrawal.  All fees are identified in the catalog and in this enrollment agreement.

• All student enrollees are subject to the Institutional Refund Policy. (Ask for Refund/Withdrawal Forms in school office). 

• If a student owes the school money, based on the refund calculation, the monies owed are due at the date of cancellation or termination of enrollment. Payment arrangements can be made, however, if after 30 days of non-payment, the account, with a signed copy of enrollment agreement, will be submitted to a collection agency. The agency will use good taste and have sound ethical practices.
