Tuition, Other Costs And Refunds
Tuition is computed at $1,500.00/month with a one-month minimum charge for short-term and is prorated at the rate of $75/day after the first month for the purpose of computing any refunds.
Tuition can be paid monthly for short-term and quarterly or in full for the planned term of enrollment. However, the number of payments cannot exceed four (4) installments beyond a down payment (if any). A down payment and its amount is optional but no installment paid afterwards can be more than twice the amount of any other payment. We do not impose any finance charges. We cannot offer any payment plans beyond those stated or we violate the Wisconsin Consumer Act.
All payments are due in advance of instruction by the first of the month or the next business day (Monday through Friday).
Required tools and supplies must be paid for prior to delivery or use. The maximum cost for a set of jeweler's bench tools, materials and supplies was $2,400 as of Jan, 1997. A list is included.
The School will issue a refund within thirty (30) calendar days of any tuition owed if a student's withdrawal or dismissal is within the three-business-day cancellation period.
A student who does not attend classes for ten consecutive class days and who does not provide the School with an explanation before or during the absence, is considered to have withdrawn from school after the 10th day.
Partial refunds shall be made as follows:
No refunds will be made after 60% of the course has been completed by the student.
When a student cancels their enrollment after three business days but before 60% of the course has been completed, the refund would be computed as follows:

As part of this policy, the school may retain a one-time application fee of no more than $100. The School will make every effort to refund prepaid amounts for books, supplies and other charges. A student will receive the refund within 40 days of termination date. If a student withdraws after completing 60% of the instruction, the School may refund a pro rata amount if withdrawal is due to mitigating circumstances beyond the student's control.
The charge to a student who cancels enrollment during the first week will not exceed $100.
Unearned tuition is refunded by adding extra class time rated at $50 per day.
There will be no refunds on tools. At students request, we will attempt to resell the tools to a new student. A $100 fee will apply.
