WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY FOR THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM?

Refunds are available to students and must be requested in writing via email to student.services@graduationalliance.com within 10 business days of enrollment. A full refund will be issued if the request is received within the allotted time frame and the courses have not been started. If coursework has been attempted and the refund is requested within the designated time frame, a full refund will be issued minus a $99 administrative fee.

Students on an extended long-term monthly payment (four or more monthly payments) are not eligible to receive a refund. By agreeing to participate in the program and committing to diploma completion with the associated financial obligation, students who withdraw early are no longer financially associated with the diploma program. They are responsible for the individual credit cost for completed courses, instead. The per-credit cost is published on the TAA website.

If you have any questions on our refund policy please contact an enrollment counselor prior to making a purchase.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE DIPLOMA STUDENT HANDBOOK?
