Please note: There are separate conditions regarding "Students at Large". Students who are registered for either individual course, clinic, supervised practice, and or any program of study for certificate of less than 1000 hours. Shall be deemed a "Student At Large". Section "C" and "D" applies. This does not include or refer to international training programs. With regard to any refunds due, ITTA, Inc. will refund monies using the following distribution: A. Any applicant not accepted for admission by ITTA and or The Thai Yoga Center or any co- sponsored program shall be entitled to a full refund of all monies paid. B. If a student [or in the case of a minor, his / her parent / guardian] cancels his / her installment contract / agreement and demands his / her money back in writing, within three (3) business days of the signing of the Student Enrollment Agreement and or any letter of intent and or contract for Educational Services, all monies collected by the school shall be refunded. The cancellation date will be determined by the postmark on written notification, or the date said information is delivered to the school administrator / owner in person. This policy shall apply regardless of whether or not the student has actually started training. If registration occurs within the three (3) day window, this provision shall not apply. This applies to residential enrollments only in Diploma programs of 1000 hours or more, which involve a multiple payment or installment agreement including carry over or finance charges. This section (B.) does not apply to single payments and or "Student at Large" continuing education type of classes or programs. For enrollments not qualifying under Section "B”, Section "C" and "D" will apply. C. As seating for all of our programs is based on a limited enrollment, payments and deposits are deemed reservations and guarantees of placement. Therefore, all payments and registrations are deemed "Non-refundable" at time of acceptance. Registrations falling in the "less than three (3) day" advance pay shall be on a "Buyer Beware" basis and no refunds will be issued, unless absence is due to a bona fide Medical Emergency with supporting documentation. Not showing or "no Show" for any individual class or classes without prior written approval, for any reason, shall be deemed a default absence without cause for refund, and shall be considered a voluntary forfeiture of all funds paid. The only exception to this will be in the case of a bona fide medical emergency properly documented with medical affidavits as requested. D. If a student voluntarily cancels his / her Student Enrollment Agreement and/ or Contract for Educational Services, as evidenced by payment, by any means what so ever, including by cash, check, PayPal, etc., after three (3) business days after signing but prior to entering classes, he / she shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid to the school less a fee of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) per individual class as listed in course offering (does not include or refer to international training programs). See Sections "H" and "L" below for notification requirements and refund disbursement schedule. If the student voluntarily cancels his/ her agreement to participate fully and attends or begins any program, from the start of the first hour of the first class, they forfeit 100% of all monies paid other than as approved for refunds as specified in this cancellation and refund policy in Section "C". The buyer is an adult over the age of 21 and agrees to give up all claims to reimbursement other than as specified in this cancellation and refund policy.

Further more in the event of such submission and subsequent approval we reserve the right to make additional charges to cover any additional cost or change fees. Participant agrees to this when submitting request for change of status. E. For students who enroll in and begin classes of 1000 hours or more, the following schedule of tuition adjustment is authorized (US programs only):
