A student may terminate enrollment only by written notification to the Registrar. Cancellations cannot be taken over the telephone. Under the Education Code, Section 94343, California law requires that a fee be assessed upon enrollment in relation to the cost of tuition. Students may be reimbursed by STRF only for prepaid but unused tuition monies. The Fund protects only California residents.
Institutional participation is mandatory.
It is important that enrollees keep a copy of an enrollment agreement, contract or application to document enrollment, tuition receipts or cancelled checks to document the total amount of tuition paid, and records that will show the percentage of the course which has been completed. Claims must be filed within 60 days of closure.
