Refund Request Procedure
To request a refund, students must complete and submit an official Withdrawal Form to the Admissions Office. The form is available through the Admissions Office.
The date the Withdrawal Form is received will be used as the official date of withdrawal for calculating the refund amount.
Course Materials Fees Refund
Course materials fees may be refundable if the student withdraws before the start of the course and has not received or utilized any course materials.
Once course materials have been received or accessed, the course materials fees become non-refundable.
Refund Processing Time
Refund requests are typically processed within 30 business days from the date the completed Withdrawal Form is received.
Refunds are issued using the original payment method unless otherwise requested by the student.
Refund Exceptions
In exceptional circumstances, such as documented medical emergencies or college-related administrative errors, the college may consider refund requests beyond the stated policy. Each case will be evaluated individually.
Application fees and other non-tuition fees are non-refundable.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
The refund policy applies to tuition fees and course materials fees after considering any applicable financial aid or scholarship amounts.
Dispute Resolution
Any disputes related to refund requests or processing will be resolved in accordance with the college's established dispute-resolution procedures.
Note: OICNM reserves the right to amend or update this refund policy as necessary. Any changes to the policy will be communicated to students through official college channels.
