STUDENT CANCELLATION, WITHDRAWAL, AND REFUND POLICY FOR PAID ONLINE COURSES

Students enrolled with a payment plan are responsible for paying for the course in full. Payments for payment plans are withdrawn automatically each month and there is no option to stop payment once the student has enrolled with a payment plan unless enrollment is canceled within the first 7 days after enrolling. No cancellations of payment plans are allowed. No refunds or cancellation of payment plans will occur for students who have accessed 50% or more of any course within the first 7 days of enrollment.

Should there be a declined or failed payment, students must manually confirm the payment through their student account. The Herb Nerd will perform multiple automated attempts to collect the payment of a failed or overdue installment to fulfill this agreement until accounts with failed payments are paid in full. If a failed or declined payment is not paid within 3 months, the Herb Nerd reserves the right to cancel the student’s enrollment entirely and remove student access to their course, including any and all course progress and quiz records to date. In this case, students will not be refunded previous payments made towards the course. To continue with the course, students shall be required to re-enroll in the course without payment credit for past payments.

Students with active accounts in good-standing or students with paid-in-full expired accounts may elect to transfer to a second edition of a course. This transfer is not considered a registration and is optional. An administrative fee will be applied at the time of transfer. Transferring to a new edition is permanent and is not reversible. No refunds will be granted for transfer administrative fees or for any tuition paid on first edition courses that are past 7 days of registration.

For those students paying in installments, refunds are calculated based on the entire course cost, not the first installment. When calculating refunds for accounts paid in installments, HA will keep 20% of the cost of the course.
