Withdrawing from a class: Prior to the start of a term, a student may withdraw from a class or from AnimSchool for a full refund of tuition paid
for the proceeding term, minus any applicable fees.
After the term has started, a student may withdraw from a term. Students are obligated to pay any remaining tuition balance or
will receive a refund based on the refund policy.
Students withdrawing from a course will be required to start the course over from the beginning if they join the same course at a later time.
Withdrawing from a Program: Students may withdraw from a program at any time. Students may continue to participate in AnimSchool Classes but only as an Express
student. Students who withdraw from a Program may later petition to rejoin the program to be eligible to graduate. Students can only successfully petition
to rejoin the Program once.
Withdrawing from AnimSchool: Prior to the start of a term a student may withdraw from AnimSchool for a full refund of tuition paid for the proceeding
term, minus any applicable fees. After the term has started a student may withdraw from a term. Students are obligated to pay any remaining tuition
balance or will receive a refund based on the refund policy (See refund policy.) Withdrawing from AnimSchool will also cancel Program enrollment for
that student. Students who later wish to rejoin AnimSchool may do so by contacting
admin@animschool.edu or calling the school.
Students may need to petition to rejoin a Program.
Withdrawal Procedure: Withdrawal can be initiated by emailing:
admin@animschool.edu or by calling (801) 765-7677
with a clear request for withdrawal. Withdrawal dates are based on the time of the request, so an email request will be processed based on the date and time
the request is received by AnimSchool.
Upon any withdrawal from AnimSchool, the former student agrees to continue payments until all attended classes have been paid for. Any
cancellation or withdrawal refund payments will be issued within 30 days.
Students who withdraw from a Program, or are administratively removed from a program may petition the AnimSchool Review Board to return to that Program.
The petition should include: What happened to cause the original withdrawal or removal, what has changed, and any other information that may help the Review
Board determine if a student is eligible to return. Withdrawn Students may also be eligible to continue taking classes as an Express Student.
Administrative Withdrawal: This is initiated by the school - Students may be withdrawn from a course, Program, or withdrawn from AnimSchool entirely.
Students who have not qualified for a leave of absence or opted to use an available term break and who do not select a class by the registration deadline
should respond to administrators' inquiries, or they may be subject to automatic withdrawal from AnimSchool.
Students who fail to make satisfactory academic progress (fail a course multiple times) may be subject to withdrawal.
Failure to attend the course entirely, or watch any recordings in a term, may be grounds for administrative withdrawal.
Any necessary refunds will be processed within 30 days of the administrative withdrawal taking effect.
Refunds are calculated based on the term week of the stated withdrawal request (assuming that no additional classes were attended after the request or
school assets were accessed or downloaded). A term week begins on Sunday at midnight, and ends on Saturday before midnight Mountain Time. Withdrawal
can be initiated by emailing:
admin@animschool.edu or calling (801 765-7677) with a clear request for withdrawal.
Withdrawal dates are based on the time of the request, so an email request will be processed based on the date and time the request is received by AnimSchool.
Prior to the start of a term, a student may withdraw from AnimSchool for a full refund of tuition paid for the proceeding term, minus any applicable fees.
In some cases a Leave of Absence may be appropriate. Please refer to section 6.8 and 6.9 in the AnimSchool Catalog for more information.
During the first week of a term, students can withdraw from the term/class or school; however, because AnimSchool has already employed their instructors for the
term, students are obligated to pay 1/3 of the agreed-upon tuition for the term, even if they cannot participate in the term.
After the first week of a term ends (11:59 pm Mountain Time, one week from the start of the term) and before the 8th week of classes begins, students can
withdraw but are obligated to pay 2/3 of the agreed-upon tuition for the term.
Beyond the start of the 8th week, there is no tuition refund for withdrawing from a class.
Upon withdrawal or graduation from AnimSchool if a student has a Tuition Deposit on file or additional money in their EasyPay Prepay account, it will be refunded to them within 30 days. If they paid by Credit Card, and it’s been less than 120 days since their last Credit Card payment, a refund will be issued back to the Credit Card that was used last. If it’s been more than 120 days, the refund will be issued via Check, PayPal, or Chase QuickPay. An email will be sent to the student notifying them of these options, if there is no response within 20 days, a check will automatically be sent to the address on file.
If the refund check gets returned, lost in the mail, or hasn't been cashed within 90 days of the issue date, we will attempt to reach the student using the contact information listed on their AnimSchool account. After 1 year of the check issue date, the unclaimed refund will be forfeited.
Application fees and other fees will not be refunded.
New students must pay before the term begins, in order to enroll. Enrolled students must keep their payments current to maintain status at the school and retain access to the AnimSchool student website and assets. To register in a particular class for the following term, existing students must be current with their tuition.
Existing students must pay for the upcoming term by the 25th of the month before classes start. Students who fail to pay within 7 days of that date will be subject to having their access restricted to the student AnimSchool website. Students should then call or email the Payments Department, at
payments@animschool.edu to bring their account current and resume student status. If students need to arrange a different due date, the Payments Department can work with them as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Existing students who fail to pay for the current term must contact the Payments Department and arrange payment to avoid having their AnimSchool account suspended.
Students on the monthly payment option must maintain a valid credit or debit card on the account. Monthly payments will be withdrawn automatically on the 25th of each month. If a card is declined during the attempt at processing, the student will be notified by email and they will have seven days to make a manual payment on the AnimSchool website. If students need to arrange a different date for the automatic payment, the Payments Department can arrange that as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Following the seven days, monthly payment students must contact the Payments Department at
payments@animschool.edu to arrange payment and avoid having their AnimSchool account suspended.
Students on the Easy-Pay program must maintain a valid credit or debit card on the account. Monthly payments will be withdrawn automatically on the 25th of each month. If a card is declined during the attempt at processing, whether during a term or during a scheduled Easy-Pay break, the student will be notified by email and they will have seven days make a manual payment on the AnimSchool website. If students need to arrange a different date for the automatic payment, the Payments Department can arrange that as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Following the seven days, monthly payment students must contact the Payments Department at
payments@animschool.edu to arrange payment and avoid having their AnimSchool account suspended.
Express students who are taking classes a la carte style, and are making monthly payments, must pay a Class Deposit, which is equal to the monthly tuition payment amount. This deposit is due at the time students register for a class. The first monthly tuition payment will be then be due the 25th of the month before classes start, regardless of the time between payments. The 2nd payment will be due the 25th of the following month, and the Class Deposit will then be credited to the last month of the term. If Express students wish to take another class the following term, they will need to pay another Class Deposit. If students need to arrange a different date for the automatic payment, the Payments Department can arrange that as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Following the seven days, monthly payment students must contact the Payments Department at
payments@animschool.edu to arrange payment and avoid having their AnimSchool account suspended.
