Course Tuition and Registration Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: 8/14/2024
1. Tuition Transferability
Upon registering for instruction at West Metro Driving School, 10% of the cost of the selected instruction program will be considered a deposit to reserve a seat in class on the registered course dates. If the student is unable to attend a course on that date, they can transfer their deposit a total of two (2) times. These transfers must be to a course program within six (6) months of the original pre-registration date. After this 6-month period, the student may be required to complete payment for instruction again.
2. Refunds of Tuition and Other Fees
When registering for a course, 10% of the course program tuition is considered a non-refundable deposit. This deposit is required to secure a seat in a course during instruction. If a part or portion of instruction has taken place, the entirety of the tuition is non-refundable.
3. Cancellations
Classroom course dates can be re-scheduled a total of two (2) times during the 6-month instruction window. Behind-the-wheel driving sessions can be re-scheduled by contacting the school staff during school office hours. Last-minute cancellations, defined as a cancellation that occurs within 24 hours of a scheduled appointment or during the preceding business day, will require re-payment for the number of canceled sessions, independent of previously paid tuition or fees.
