Deferment Policy

Sometimes your certification journey may need to continue at another time, which is why we offer the option to defer your enrollment to a later class.

  • Deferrals are allowed during the first six modules of the program.
  • Students may defer up to two times before being withdrawn from the program.

Deferrals must be requested by February 28th (for September starts) or August 31st (for March starts), and the deadline for payment of the reinstatement fee is 15 days before the new class start date.

When deferring, you can choose a new class date within one year of your original enrollment. Keep in mind that students who defer will remain bound by the refund policy of their original class and are not eligible for refunds.

For those deferring a second time their new date is not always within one year of original enrollment

Reinstatement Fees

The reinstatement fee for deferment varies based on the module you are in when you sign the Deferral Agreement:

  • Between enrollment and the end of Module 2: $200
  • Between the start of Module 3 and the end of Module 6: $600

Payment Plans and Deferment

Students on FMCA payment plans or using third-party financial partners like Affirm must continue making payments.

Please note that if there is a tuition increase before you re-enroll, FMCA may require payment of the difference in tuition at the time of your new enrollment.

Withdrawal And Refund Policy

If you decide to withdraw, refunds are available from the point of enrollment until 30 days after your class start date (March 1st or September 1st). During this period, you can receive a refund of the tuition paid, minus a $500 non-refundable deposit. Please note that no refunds will be available after March 30th or September 30th.

For students on payment plans, if you withdraw after the 30-day period, you will still be responsible for the remaining balance of your tuition. If you’d like, you’re welcome to pay off your tuition early, but the total amount will stay the same.

If you choose to withdraw after the class has started, we ask that you sign a Withdrawal Agreement and complete an exit interview with the Director of Student Services to discuss your reasons for departure.
