Pioneer Adult Education reserves the right to cancel a program due to low enrollment. Students enrolled in the program will receive a full refund.

If a student chooses to withdraw, he/she should verbally inform the Adult Education Office. The withdrawal date will be the last day of attendance.

Students may be withdrawn from enrollment for not meeting satisfactory progress standards. The withdrawal date will be the last date of attendance. Notice of withdrawal for this reason will be in writing from the Site Coordinator.

If withdrawal takes place after completing a Registration Form and making an initial payment but prior to touring the facility and inspecting the equipment a full refund will be issued..

If a student withdraws on the first day of class, a full refund will be issued minus a $50 registration fee and a $40 WorkKeys Assessment fee if applicable. Equipment/supplies and book costs will be assessed if not returned by the student. The refund will be issued within 45 days of the class start date.

If withdrawal takes place on the second day of class up to the 29% point of the program length, the balance will be prorated for material and time spent using the Withdrawal Refund Policies Cost Prorate Calculation Form. If withdrawal takes place on or after the 30% point of the program length, the entire balance is due upon withdrawal.

If a student is receiving a Pell Grant and withdraws or is dismissed from a program before the 30% point in a payment period, federal law requires that Pioneer, and in some cases, the student, return funds not earned to the U.S. Department of Education. In this situation, Federal Title IV financial aid (the Pell Grant) must be recalculated using the Federal Return of Title IV Funds Formula and any grant monies not earned returned to the U.S. Department of Education.

If a student is receiving a Pell Grant and withdraws or is dismissed from a program on or after the 30% point of the payment period, he/she will be eligible for all Pell funds disbursed or that could have been disbursed in the payment period.

If a student withdraws prior to the Pell Grant being posted to his/her account, the Pell Grant dollar amount the student is eligible for (based on the Federal Return of Title IV Funds Formula) will be requested and applied to any unpaid balance. If the Pell Grant amount is more than the unpaid balance, the remaining dollars will be refunded to the student.

Upon student withdrawal and after a student's Pell Grant funds earned have been calculated, the balance owed will be calculated using the Program Cost Prorate Calculation Form.

The school shall make the appropriate refund within forth five (45) days of the last date of attendance if written notification of withdrawal has been provided to the institution by the student or from the date the institution terminates the student or determines withdrawal by the student.

Refund policy for agencies providing funding for students will be based on guidelines established by the funding agency.
