Cancellation and Refund Policy
If you are rejected for enrollment by A F International School of Languages Inc. (AFI) or if your F-1 visa application is rejected, a full refund of all tuition monies paid will be made. If you cancel prior to the start of scheduled classes or never report to school, AFI will refund all monies paid, less the application fee. In all cases, a refund will be made only if your cancellation notice is in writing and received no later than thirty days after your intended start of classes. If sent by mail, the postmarked date will be the effective cancellation date. If you are eligible for a refund, you must make your refund request in writing to A F International School of Languages Inc., PO Box 6223, Thousand Oaks, CA 91359-6223, USA. AFI will remit a refund within 10 days after receiving your notice. While the written notice of cancellation need not take a particular form, you may want to use the Notice of Cancellation.

Withdrawal from Course
Should you withdraw from school after the period allowed for cancellation, AFI will remit a refund less the registration fee. The refunded amount is prorated and based on the difference, if any, in tuition price and the amount you have paid for instruction. Example: If you paid $1,320 tuition for 96 hours and the $100 application fee and withdrew after 48 hours, we would refund you $1,320:96 = $13.75 x 48 = $660. All such refunds are issued within 30 days following the student’s withdrawal.

Full Refund of Optional Fees
If you cancel 30 days prior to the date of service to be preformed, you will receive a full refund of any optional service fees requested, including but not limited to, Airport Pick-up Fee and Accommodation Placement Fee. Any questions or problems concerning this school which have not been satisfactorily answered or resolved by the school should be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, 400 R Street, Fifth Floor, Sacramento, California 95814.

Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the Legislature to protect any California resident who attends a private postsecondary institution from losing money if you prepaid tuition and suffered a financial loss as a result of the school closing. failing to live up to its enrollment agreement, or refusing to pay a court judgment. To be eligible for STRF, you must be a “California resident” and reside in California at the time the enrollment agreement is signed. Students who are temporarily residing in California for the sole purpose of pursuing an education, specifically those who hold student visas, are not considered a “California resident.” To qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application within one year of receiving notice from BPPVE that the school is closed. IF you do not receive notice from BPPVE, you have four years from the date of closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment is obtained you must file a STRF application within two years of the final judgment. It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment agreement, receipts or any other information that documents the monies paid to the school. Any questions regarding the STRF may be directed to: The Bureau for Postsecondary Private and Vocational Education, 400 R Street, Suite 5000, Sacramento, CA 95814, 916.445.3427.
