Below you will find a refund schedule. The refund schedule gives you important dates on when you are eligible and how much you are eligible for a refund if you plan to withdraw from the course. Additionally, the refund schedule also lists the timeframe for completing the no-show activity. The no-show activity is your initial check to verify attendance for the course. For example, if your course is a 10 week course, you must complete the no-show activity within the 4th day from the course start date to verify your attendance in the course. To complete the no-show activity, you will start by reading the syllabus then take the syllabus quiz that will verify your attendance at the beginning of the course.
