INSURANCE:

The school suggests each student have student liability insurance. This liability insurance covers the student 24 hours/day, whether in school or outside school as long as the student is doing work related to curriculum and not being paid for services rendered. The insurance will be discussed during the first week of class.


BUYER'S RIGHT TO CANCEL:

The student has the right to a full 100 percent refund of all the charges less the non-refundable fees* if they cancel this agreement in writing on or prior to the first day of instruction, or within 7 days of enrollment, whichever is later.

To cancel the agreement the student must complete the Notice of Cancellation form which will be provided at the time the agreement is signed. The student has to complete the form with the date and their signature and hand it to the school’s official or mail it. The effective date for the refund calculation will be the date the Cancellation form was handed in or postmarked (if mailed).  Refund payments will be mailed within 45 days of the notification of cancellation. 

If a class must be canceled prior to or on the first day of instruction, by the school, CHI will make a full refund.


*Registration fees are not refundable, materials' fees are only refundable if the materials are unused/still in new condition and returned to C.H.I., and tuition for any hours attended prior to cancellation are not refundable.
