While no other costs are paid directly to MBI, the Department of Education requires us to disclose other costs that you may be responsible for during enrollment in the program. Books and Supplies will cost approximately $900.00. They may be purchased on site from the Mind/Body Connection store, or they may be purchased elsewhere. On-campus housing is not available, but we estimate that room & board in Nashville or surrounding area will cost $14,750.00 during the program duration. Transportation costs of $1,500.00 are also allowed for. These additional costs total $17,150.00. Added to the tuition, the Total Cost of Attendance (for an independent student) would be expected to be $27,150.00.
Payment in full is due on the first day of class.
A full refund of all monies paid by the student may be obtained if the student cancels the enrollment agreement within 72 hours of signing said agreement. Any student who has not toured the facility prior to signing the enrollment agreement has 3 days following the tour to request a full refund. The Massage Therapy program is divided into two payment periods of 350 contact hours each. For each payment period of enrollment, the following refund policy will apply:
1. A student who at any time withdraws, is withdrawn (including expulsion) by the institution, or otherwise fails to attend class is entitled to a full refund of any fee, regardless of whether the fee is included in tuition, paid to the institution for tangible goods or services not delivered to or fully provided to the student.
2. If a student fails to begin class on the start date as written in the enrollment agreement or as amended by the institution, the refund shall equal the sum of all refundable fees paid and, if the student has institutional loans, forgiveness of the amounts owed by the
student, less an administrative fee of $100.00 (the enrollment fee).
3. If after the payment period has commenced and before expiration of 60% (210 of 350 contact hours) or less of the period of enrollment for which the student was charged, a student withdraws, is withdrawn (including expulsion) by the institution, or otherwise fails to attend classes, the refund shall be a pro rata portion of refundable fees, less an administrative (enrollment) fee of $100.00. If applicable, the refund shall include forgiveness of institutional loans. For example, if a student’s last day of attendance equals 10% (35 of 350 hours) of the period of enrollment for which the student was charged, the institution is entitled to retain only 10% of the refundable fees charged for the period of enrollment as well as $100.00. However, in no instance will the institution be responsible for any refund in excess of the amount paid by or on behalf of the student for the period of enrollment for which the student was charged.
4. If after expiration of 60% of the payment period for which the student was charged, a student withdraws, is withdrawn (including expulsion) by the institution, or otherwise fails to attend classes, the student may be deemed obligated for 100% of the refundable fees charged by the institution up to the last payment period of enrollment charged.
5. For a student who cannot complete one (1) or more classes because the institution discontinued such a class during a period of enrollment for which the student was charged, the institution shall refund the sum of all refundable fees paid and, if the student has institutional loans, forgive the amounts owed by the student.
For purposes of calculating percentages of attendance in clock hour programs the number of scheduled hours up to the last date of attendance will be the numerator.
In all refund computations, leave of absence, suspensions, school holidays, days when classes are not offered, and summer vacation shall not be counted as part of the elapsed time for purposes of calculating a student’s refund. The official date of withdrawal / termination shall be the last day of class attended. Any monies due the student shall be refunded within 30 days of the school's date of determination of the student’s withdrawal. MBI will make any calculated refund without requiring a request from the student; however, any correspondence should be made in writing.
