Refunds
Tuition (excluding textbook, materials, facility and other fees) refunds are made for voluntary student withdrawal from the Surgical Technology Program. Upon the student's written request, a refund will be made on the basis of a percentage of the tuition payment. The semester refund schedule is as follows:
- 100% of the semester tuition (minus $100 of the enrollment deposit) is refunded if the withdrawal is before the first day of class of the semester.
- 50% of the semester tuition is refunded if the withdrawal is by the last business day of the second week of the semester.
- No refund is made if the withdrawal is after the second week of the semester.
Financial Aid
The Ascension St. Vincent Surgical Technology Program does not participate in Title IV federal student aid (FASFA) programs. As a result, students may not be able to have their existing student loans deferred. Students should contact the financial aid office of the college through which the loan was processed to discuss their options.
While the Surgical Technology Program will work with any third-party payer, it is the student’s responsibility to secure adequate funding sources.
