1. The tuition refund for withdrawal from distance education courses is computed from the date the Application for Withdrawal is formally initiated. The amount of the tuition refund is based on the time that has elapsed since the beginning of the program.

2. The Materials refund is determined by ownership. The ownership transfers from the school to the student upon purchase. Therefore there is no partial refund of Materials. The Three-day Cancellation Policy applies to Materials. Materials are Copy Right protected, etc. and cannot be viewed or reviewed prior to ownership. Therefore, these items will be sent to the student until after expiration of the Three-day Full Refund Policy.

Three-day Full Refund Expiration: This is a period of three days or 72 hours from the time the completion of the following three items:

1. Student signs and dates the Enrollment Agreement after he or she has read and understands all aspects of the agreement.

2. Body Business Official signs and dates the Enrollment Agreement.

3. Student pays Body Business School of Massage Therapy an initial payment

Therefore, the following refund calculation will determine the amount.

· Withdrawal during the first week following the Expiration of the Three-day Refund Policy, tuition will be refunded 100%, less a $25.00 processing fee.

· Withdrawal during the second week following the Expiration of the Three-day Refund Policy, tuition will be refunded 75%, less a $25.00 processing fee.

· Withdrawal during the fourth week following expiration of the Three-day Refund Policy, tuition will be refunded 25%, less a $25.00 processing fee.
