Tuition & Financial Aid

Tuition

Cleveland Clinic School of Health Professions has established a cost of attendance (COA), also known as a budget, for each program. The COA for a student is an estimate of that student’s educational expenses for the period of enrollment. It includes the total cost of tuition for the program and an estimate of expenses related to food & housing, transportation to and from the program, and also any personal expenses that may arise during enrollment.

Tuition refund policy

If a student is not accepted into the program, withdraws, or is dismissed, all efforts will be made to refund pre-paid amounts for books, fees, and supplies. The refund policy does not apply to items that were ordered specifically for the student or if the items were returned in a condition that prevents them from being used by or sold to another student. Additionally, the refund policy does not apply to individually documented non-refundable fees for goods or services provided by third party vendors.

Refunds shall be based upon the date of the student’s official withdrawal through the student information system (SIS), or date of program determination (unofficial withdrawal due to absences or other criteria as specified in the school catalog). The school shall make the appropriate refund within 30 days of the date the school is able to determine that a student has withdrawn or has been terminated from a program.

Eligibility to receive refunds for tuition and applicable fees shall be determined as outlined below:

1. A student who withdraws before the first class and after the 5-day cancellation period shall be obligated for the registration fee.
2. A student who starts class and withdraws before the academic term is 15% completed will be obligated for 25% of the tuition and refundable fees plus the registration fee.
3. A student who starts class and withdraws after the academic term is 15% but before the academic term is 25% completed will be obligated for 50% of the tuition and refundable fees plus the registration fee.
4. A student who starts class and withdraws after the academic term is 25% complete but before the academic term is 40% completed will be obligated for 75% of the tuition and refundable fees plus the registration fee.
5. A student who starts class and withdraws after the academic term is 40% completed will not be entitled to a refund of the tuition and fees.

For programs that are approved by the Ohio State Board of Careers Colleges and Schools (OSBCCS) (School Registration No. 2165), additional parameters regarding refunds may apply. See Rule 3332-1-10 of the Ohio Revised Code for details. Programs approved by OSBCCS include Cardiac Ultrasound, Cardiovascular Perfusion, CT/MRI, Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Beachwood), Phlebotomy, Primary MRI, and Radiologic Technology (Beachwood).

The Beachwood Radiologic Technology program, which is approved for Title IV funding, considers the student’s last date of attendance for the calculation of federal financial aid refunds. The last date of attendance is based on the student’s last date of participation in any required clock hour delivery.
