If you must cancel your enrollment, we will accept a substitute replacement. Notification of cancellation or substitution, and any request for refund must be made in writing. If written notice of cancellation and request for a refund is received 60 days before the first day of class, CMC will refund the full tuition amount minus a $25 enrollment fee. For cancellations and requests for refunds received between 30 and 60 days before the first day of class, CMC will refund the full tuition amount minus a $100 enrollment fee. No refund will be given with less than a 30 day written notice of cancellation. If the applicant transfers the enrollment to another person or if CMC is able to fill your space from the waiting list, the applicant will receive a full refund minus a $25.00 enrollment fee. The applicant will receive the refund within 30 days of our receipt of the notice.
