Refunds for Classes

• After the session begins, a request for refund will be honored if the class has only met once. There will be a charge for the first class plus a $35.00 administrative fee per class.
• Once the second class has started, there will be no tuition refunded or credit given except for medical reasons with a doctor's notification. Refunds will be pro-rated from the date MTC receives the doctor's notification. An administrative fee of $35.00 will be charged per class.
• All refund requests must be in writing. Approved refunds take 6 - 8 weeks and are returned in the same manner in which paid (cash returned by check). Administrative fee is charged per class.
