Accessing online coursework before the first day of class constitutes attendance. Refunds are not offered after the first day of class. Students have three business days (72 hours) after signing the enrollment agreement—if before the first day of class—to rescind for a refund. Aid options vary by term; eligibility and awards are determined by SHCTA and/or sponsoring parties.
