an additional program will be charged an additional registration
fee.

application materials, including official transcripts and letters
of recommendation, are not received 30 days before residential
classes start.
Note:
The California College of Natural Medicine reserves the right
to make any changes in tuition, refund policies, fees, and
expenses without notice, within statutory guidelines.
Students Loans
To assist CCNM students in paying their education, a student
loan program is in place for payment of tuition. A $40.00
credit report fee is mandatory and is not refundable if your
credit application is not approved.
Student Disclosures
For Continuing Education Trainings, any written contract or
agreement signed by a prospective student shall not become
operative until the student attends the first class or session
of instruction.
Employer Assistance with Tuition
Many employers underwrite programs to assist employees with
their education expenses. CCNM encourages students to seek
educational assistance from their employer. The College will
gladly prepare any reports or other information necessary
to meet the requirements of such programs.
Scholarships
NO scholarships funds are available.
Cancellation Period
The cancellation period is considered up to and including the
first day of the residential classes. The cancellation period
for the online classes is up to the creation and advice of
a password for each course. All requests for cancellations
must be submitted in writing to the Dean, Theresa Dale at
CCNM’s mailing address.
Refund Policy
Refund During Cancellation Period: The school shall refund 100%
of the amount paid less a reasonable deposit or application
fee not to exceed $100.00, if notice is made before or on
the first day of residential instruction. For online only
classes, once a password has been issued, the class and/or
lesson is accepted and NO refund will apply. The International
College of Naturopathy’s web site is located at www.wellnesscenter.net.
Refund After Cancellation Period
If a student withdraws from
their course after the cancellation period, the student is entitled
to only a partial refund. The refund policy is pro rata to the
60 percent point of the course. The formula is as follows:
Total Amount Actually Paid for Lessons taken
minus the Registration Fee of $100.00
= Adjusted Amount
(Includes all fees and instruction, but no equipment)
Adjusted Amount X Lessons not received but for which the student
has paid
= Final Refund Amount
All refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or
withdrawal.
Cancellation Refund Example:
A student enrolls in the Naturopathic Practitioner Program and
pays total tuition including a $100 registration fee. The
student cancels on the first day of class. The student’s
refund would be total tuition minus the $100.00 registration
fee. The $100.00 registration fee is non-refundable.
Withdrawal Refund Example:
A student enrolls in the Naturopathic Practitioner Program and
pays $8,300.00, including a $100 registration fee. The student
withdraws after completing 75 percent of the course. The student
would not receive a refund, because he or she has completed
over 60 percent of the program. On the other hand, if the
student has paid total tuition of $8,300.00 (including the
$100.00 registration fee) completes 50% of the training and
wants to withdraw from the training – they would receive
a refund for the lessons that they did not take or receive
a password for. All cancellations and requests for refunds
must be submitted to the school office in writing.
Student Tuition Recovery Fund
The Students Tuition Recovery Fund (“STRF”) was
established by the Legislature to protect any California resident
who attends a private postsecondary institution from losing
money if they prepaid tuition and suffer 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 or when you receive lessons at a California mailing
address from an approved institution offering correspondence
instruction. Students who are temporarily residing in California
for the sole purpose of pursuing an education, specifically
those who hold student visas, are not considered California
residents for this purpose.
To qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application
within one year of receiving notice from the Bureau that the
school is closed. If you do not receive notice from the Bureau,
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, financial
aid papers, receipts or any other information that documents
the moneys paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF
may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95833 Telephone: (916) 431-6959 or (888) 370-7589.
Students enrolled in the Registered courses for Continuing
Education Units and Short-Term Career Training are not eligible
for recovery from the Student Tuition Recovery Fund.

complaints. If problems are not resolved by the Registrar,
