e-COURSE: I accept the terms and conditions of the ENROLLMENT APPLICATION & CONTRACT (including the use of international merchant services for reoccurring or one-time tuition payments), and have also read the TUITION SETTLEMENT POLICY (listed below), and agree to be fully bound by the terms listed in each of the aforementioned documents.

If an e-Course cancellation request occurs when students have received more e-Course materials & services than they have paid for, they will be required to pay the ``balance`` owing on their account for any e-Course materials & services that have already been rendered (this balance is subject to a pro-rata formula calculated by the Institute, and is based on the number of e-Course lessons & services already received by the student). 3. Students who withdraw after the risk-free 5-day e-Course examination period, will be subject to a $75 Early Withdrawal Fee, in addition to any pro-rated tuition fees still owed to the Institute. 4. Outstanding tuition fees for e-Course materials and services already received will automatically be charged to students credit card information on file upon request of e-Course cancellation. Tuition payments that exceed e-Course materials sent, are non-refundable, as they constitute advance payments towards future services and materials related to subsequent plans of study.

Students have up to four years from original enrollment date to complete their studies and to request study materials and e-Course modules regardless of the examination submission process. 6.

After the allotted four year e-Course completion date has expired, students may reactivate their account (with applicable fees), for a one year extension period in order to complete their studies. After such time; four years, plus the additional reinstatement period of one year (for a total of five years), the original e-Course content and student records may no longer be available, and full "re-enrollment" may be required. Students requesting re-enrollment, after the five year period, must prepay for the Course in its entirety (5-Day Examination Period & Refund Policy do not apply). Any subsequent cancellations after re-enrollment will be subject to the same fees and conditions as listed in article (6). The Asheford Institute reserves the right to revoke, rescind, or refuse enrollment membership for any reason at anytime whatsoever, and my not be held liable, financially or otherwise, from any actions arising from such a decision. TUITION SETTLEMENT POLICY: Students on monthly tuition payment plans, who wish to complete e-Course study Plans in less than thirty-seven days, will be required to pay the pro-rated amount for subsequent study Plans in advance in order to proceed. In addition; if student accounts becomes delinquent by 3 payments or more, consecutively or otherwise, e-Course access may be suspended, and students will be required to pay the pro-rated amount for each subsequent Plan of study before any further e-Course `pass-codes` can be released.
