Can I make a refund? What is the refund policy?

Updated at Oct 22, 2026, Viewed 0 times

In most cases, no: once your payment is confirmed and course access has been granted, fees are non-refundable, because the program is considered delivered. There are two exceptions, set out below.

The general rule

After registration confirmation, all fees are deemed non-refundable. Access is typically granted within 3–5 business days of payment verification, and from that point the service is considered fully delivered.

Exceptions

Overpayment. If you paid twice or overpaid, the surplus is refunded to your original payment method within 5–10 business days of verification (amounts under $10 are credited to your account balance instead).
Program cancelled by ACLAS. If we cancel a program or course, you receive a full refund of the fees for that program within 10 business days, with no action needed from you.
Deferral. If you cannot start as planned, you may request a deferral; approved fees are credited toward a future enrollment at no extra cost (but are not refunded if you later choose not to enroll).
