Refund Policy

Cancellation prior to the commencement of classes: If the school does not accept the application or cancels the enrollment, all fees paid except the application fee will be fully refunded. If cancellation is requested in writing by the applicant, parent or guardian three working days after signing the enrollment agreement, all fees except the application fee will be refunded. Notice of cancellation should be sent by registered mail with return receipt requested. The post mark of the letter or telegram will determine the date of cancellation.

Termination or Withdrawal after the start of classes: Students may withdraw voluntarily from our program at any time they choose. In this case, the student must submit his intention to withdraw in writing by certified mail. Voluntary/involuntary terminations after classes begin will result in the Virginia School of Pet Grooming retaining a portion of the tuition. What percentage will be retained will be determined by the number of weeks the student has attended. In all cases, the application/enrollment fee is non-refundable.
