Official Withdrawal Process: If a Student wishes to withdraw from school the Student must notify the school either in writing or verbally. A written notification can be delivered by regular mail sent directly to the school or via e mail sent to the Financial Services Leader at the School at the following e mail address: finaid@pmtscolumbiasc.com (Columbia campus); finaid@charleston.paulmitchell.edu (Charleston campus); finaid@greenville.paulmitchell.edu (Greenville campus). The date that the school is notified is the date of determination of the withdrawal and is based on the postmark date on the mailed notification, the date of the email notification or the date the Student calls or notifies the school in person. A Student on an approved leave of absence must notify the school as soon as possible if they will not be returning form the leave of absence. If the Student fails to return or contact the School Financial Services Leader on the documented return date, then the Student will be withdrawn from school with the date of determination being the documented return date.
If the Student fails to return from a leave of Absence (LOA) on the documented return date, the Student will be terminated from school as of the date the Student began the LOA. If the Student fails to contact the School in regards to not returning from a LOA or extending the LOA, the Student will be terminated from school as of the date the Student began the LOA. A Student may not take an unapproved LOA.
Official cancellation occurs when a Student is not accepted by the School, or when a Student or legal guardian cancels the Enrollment Agreement. The School also may initiate an official withdrawal for reasons which include but are not limited to the expulsion of the Student or the termination of the Student for failure to meet the applicable requirements of the School’s satisfactory academic progress policy or the failure to pay tuition and other charges by the applicable deadlines.
Unofficial Withdrawal Process: An unofficial withdrawal may occur for a variety of reasons including but not limited to expulsion, failure to meet Program attendance requirements, failure to attend class in the Student’s Program at the School for 14 consecutive calendar days, failure to meet applicable requirements in the school’s satisfactory academic progress policies, or failure to pay tuition and other charges by the applicable deadlines.
Withdrawal Date: In both cases the Withdrawal Date (which is sometimes referred to as the last day of attendance) will be used in the Institutional Refund calculation and, if applicable, in the Federal Return of Title IV calculation.
