Spotlight Course Tuition Refund Policy

The Portland Melton program budgets for a full fiscal year, which entails faculty and administrative commitments based on the number of registered students. Those commitments remain even if some students drop out. In consequence, the following tuition refund policy applies to all students registered in the Portland Melton program.

Policy
Spotlight courses only run with a minimum enrollment of six students. If a class is cancelled, Melton will reimburse the full tuition. No refund will be issued after the class begins.

Each prospective student must read and accept the Tuition Refund Policy in order to successfully complete registration.

I have read the Tuition Refund Policy above and agree to pay the Portland Florence Melton Adult Mini School the full amount of my yearly tuition due, regardless of whether I do or do not remain a Melton student for the entire year. I have had the opportunity to discuss the policy with the Melton staff and fully understand the refund policy of the program.
