The institution includes the cost of textbook use in tuition and fees. The cost the institution can offer students is below competitive market rates. Students have the right to opt out of this program and purchase books themselves. If a student chooses to do so, he/she is to notify the institution in writing at least 4 business days prior to the first day of any module in which he/she wishes to purchase his/her textbooks. The student will receive a disbursement for the credit for the institution’s cost of respective textbooks no later than the 7th day of the respective module. The student must then purchase his/her textbooks by the end of week 1 of the module.
If students choose to use the institution’s books, rather than buy their own books, they must return their books in good and usable condition at the end of each module, or on or before the date of termination if attendance is terminated. Failure to do so will result in the student being charged the replacement cost of all unreturned books. Students should be aware that they may not use Title IV funds to cover these costs if these charges occur after their withdraw date.
