Q: |
Is tuition refundable? |
A: |
A week before Compass begins, refunds will NO LONGER BE GIVEN. A few exceptions to this rule may be given, such as long term illness and will be decided as such by the Leadership Team. If your reason for leaving is approved for a refund, the refund will be prorated, based on the date you notify Compass, as well as your last day of attendance, and will NOT include the non-refundable registration fee. Needing to cut something from your schedule or deciding to go a different direction is not considered a valid exception, which is why we ask you to look over the schedule and pray about joining BEFORE making a commitment. If you need to request a refund, please submit your reasonings for the Leadership to review. |

Compass meets on Mondays (August to May) from 9:30am-2:30pm.
