Transferrability of Credits Earned
The transferability of credits, as well as acceptance of the degree, diploma, or certificate earned at John Paul the Great Catholic University is at the complete discretion of an institution to which the student may seek to transfer. If the credits, degree, diploma, or certificate earned at JP Catholic are not accepted at the institution to which the student seeks to transfer, the student may be required to repeat some or all coursework at that institution. For this reason, students should make certain that attendance at JP Catholic will meet their educational goals.

Refund Provisions
Student's Right to Cancel. You, the student, have the right to cancel the Enrollment Agreement for a program of instruction until the close of business (5:00 pm) on the business day prior to the first class you attend. This Enrollment Agreement includes fees for instruction only. Equipment such as computers, laptops, software, books, materials and supplies or any other goods related to the instruction offered in this Agreement are purchased separately and directly by the student from vendors and are NOT covered by this Enrollment Agreement.

Cancellation shall occur when written notice of cancellation is delivered to the address of JP Catholic University shown on Page 1 of the Enrollment Agreement. This delivery can be by mail or hand delivery. If the notice is sent by mail, it is effective when postmarked with postage prepaid. If you cancel this Agreement, JP Catholic will refund any money that you, the student, have paid, for tuition, (except for the non-refundable Enrollment Fee) within thirty days after your Notice of Cancellation is received.

The Institutional refund policy for students who have completed 60% or less of the course of instruction shall be a pro rata refund.

Withdrawal From Degree Program: You, the student, will have the right to withdraw from a program of instruction at any time. The refund policy for students who have completed 60 percent or less of the course of instruction shall be a pro rata refund. If you withdraw from the course after the period allowed for cancellation of the Agreement, which is until close of business (5:00pm) of the business day prior to the first class you attend, JP Catholic will remit a refund, less the non-refundable enrollment fee of $100, within thirty days following your withdrawal. You are obliged to pay only for educational services rendered. The refund shall be the amount you paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours of instruction, which you have not received but for which you have paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of hours of instruction for which you have paid.

If the amount you have paid is more than the amount that you owe for the time you attended, then a refund will be made within thirty days of withdrawal. If the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you have already paid, then you will have to make arrangements to pay for it.

Students with past-due accounts are not entitled to receive final grades, transcripts, a diploma or certificate, and/or other possible University-provided verifications until the balance is paid in full.

Students whose entire tuition and fees are paid by a third party organization are not eligible for a refund.
