Observation instruction is provided at no additional charge and is not included in refund calculations.

Completion of Classroom Phase

Once the student has completed the required 24 hours of classroom instruction or a DE-964 certificate has been issued, the classroom portion is considered earned by the school.

No refund will be issued for the classroom portion once a DE-964 certificate has been issued.

Any refund due after issuance of a DE-964 will be calculated only on the unused behind-the-wheel portion of the program.

Course Completion

No refund will be issued once all required instructional hours for the program have been completed.

Expiration of Course

If the student fails to complete the program within the 365-day completion period, the student may be administratively withdrawn. Any refund due will be calculated based on instruction completed at the time of withdrawal.

Refund Processing

Refunds will be issued within thirty (30) days of written cancellation.

Behind-the-wheel or observation sessions canceled with less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice or missed without notice may be considered completed for refund calculation purposes.
