Tuition Refund Policies

Students who find it necessary to withdraw from a course or Trinity must do so in writing (post or email). All refunds are time based: Refund calculation begins with the start dates of the first set of courses within a semester Enrollment Agreement. Drop/Adds do not interrupt the refund calculation. The official date of the withdrawal will be the date Trinity receives the student’s request to withdraw.

Refund requests will be processed according to Trinity’s Tuition Refund Policies up to and including the refund end date of the course based on the applicable refund timeline. Applicable monies are refunded to the party who paid for the courses. Trinity’s tuition refund policies listed below are effective September 12, 2011 and apply to new tuition charges on or after that date.

In the event a student adds a new course(s) to an Enrollment Agreement by Addendum and pays new tuition, the student will have up to and including day 3 to withdraw from the start date of the course to receive a full refund of the new tuition paid to date for the newly added course(s).

A student who has prepaid for future course(s) that have not yet been activated on an Enrollment Agreement is entitled to a full refund of prepaid monies.

Students on a payment plan that at the time of withdrawal have not paid the amount due at withdrawal are responsible for the difference of what has already been paid and what is still owed for the course(s).
