Tuition Refund Policy (Class of September 2025 and Beyond)

Refunds are automatically processed according to the following Refund Schedule for those who withdraw or are dismissed. Withdrawals may be communicated by students in any manner; however, Valar Institute strongly recommends submitting requests in writing to billing@quantic.edu to ensure timely processing. Tuition refunds are processed within 30 days of the withdrawal or dismissal.

A student has five (5) calendar days after signing the initial enrollment agreement to cancel enrollment and receive a full refund of all monies paid to the institution.

Students withdrawing due to active duty military service should contact Valar for additional information regarding their tuition and account options.

Refund amounts are based on the total amount of tuition stated in the student’s enrollment agreement (“Total Tuition”), regardless of how much has been paid by the student at the time of withdrawal or dismissal.

Refund amounts are based upon the percentage of submitted assessments calculated using the total number of assessments in the program, as detailed in the student’s Enrollment Agreement. Program assessments include all SMARTCASEs, exams, presentations, and projects, including the capstone project. Students who are dismissed or withdraw from Valar Institute will receive a refund within 30 days of removal from the program according to the following schedule:

Progress Benchmark	Percentage of Total Tuition Refunded to the Student	Percentage of Total Tuition Retained by Valar Institute
Prior to beginning any of the lessons, concentrations, specializations, or projects listed in the catalog.	100%	0%
After beginning any concentrations, specializations, or projects but before submitting 10% of the assessments* in the program	90%	10%
After submitting 10% of the program assessments but before submitting 25% of the program assessments	75%	25%
After submitting 25% of the program assessments but before submitting 50% of the program assessments	50%	50%
After submitting 50% of the assessments in the program	0%	100%

*Beginning” a concentration or specialization is defined as opening any lesson in a concentration or specialization. Program Assessments include all SMARTCASEs, exams, presentations, and projects, including the capstone project. Percent completion is calculated by dividing the number of submitted assessments by the total number of assessments required to complete the program. For specializations, an average number of assessments per specialization will be determined for each cohort and used in the calculation of the total number of assessments required. The number of assessments required for your degree program, as well as the specific assessments in each tier above, will be outlined in the “Grades” section of your dashboard on your program start date.

Student Example:

In this example a student’s Enrollment Agreement confirms that there are 100 graded assessments required to complete the EMBA program. (This is only an example number; please check the assessments outlined in the Grades section of your dashboard for the official graded assessment number for your program.)

If there are 100 graded assessments in the EMBA and the student’s Total Tuition is $9,600 and the student has completed 37 assessments at the time of withdrawal, then the student is eligible for a 50% refund of Total Tuition, which will be paid as follows:

If the student has paid all the Total Tuition prior to withdrawal ($9,600), then the student is eligible for a refund of $4,800 (50% of $9,600), and Valar retains $4,800 (50% of $9,600).
If the student has paid half of the Total Tuition prior to withdrawal ($4,800), then the student is eligible for no refund, and Valar retains $4,800 (50% of $9,600).
If the student has paid three-fourths of Total Tuition ($7,200), then the student is eligible for a refund of $2,400 ($9,600 - $7,200) and Valar retains $4,800 (50% of Total Tuition).
