Refunds and Late Fees
IMPORTANT: All students who wish to withdraw from a course, or from their program of study, must provide proper and timely notice of withdrawal, as stated in the Refund Policy below, to be eligible for a refund. Please review the following information closely.
REFUND POLICY [effective fall 2025]
A student’s notice of withdrawal must be emailed to the Registrar and the Bursar. The withdrawal status and date of withdrawal shall be noted by AHOS staff in the student’s Populi account. A student who withdraws from the school and fails to do so in the prescribed manner will not be entitled to a refund.
Those who provide proper notice of withdrawal (as described above) will be eligible for a refund according to the following schedule:
Before classes begin – 100% refund of tuition and eligible fees; Not refunded: Application fee
During first and second week of semester – 100% refund of tuition and eligible fees; Not refunded: Application fee
During third week of semester – 50% refund of tuition; Not refunded: Application fee; Enrollment deposit; Library & Technology Fees
During fourth week of semester – 25% refund of tuition; Not refunded: Application fee; Enrollment deposit; Library & Technology Fees
After end of fourth week – no refund
Students who withdraw with a balance due on their account are still obliged to pay their balance, and shall not be allowed to re-enroll or receive a transcript until the balance is paid, along with any late fees that may apply.
LATE FEES [effective fall 2025]
At the beginning of each semester, if no payment has been made by the stated deadline, a lock will be placed on the student’s account and a $100 late fee will be required to unlock the account. To avoid this, students should be sure to either pay their entire balance due, or at least the first installment in a payment plan, prior to the stated deadline.
