Take a class

To initiate a tuition refund, please send written notification to ce@cia.edu. There is a $50 non-refundable processing fee for all refunds not initiated by the College. Processing of refunds may take up to three weeks.

Refund Schedule

7+ days before start of class: 100% refund minus processing fee
4-6 days before start of class: 50% refund minus processing fee
>4 days before start of class: 0% refund

Courses may be canceled due to low enrollment. If you are registered for a course that is canceled you will be offered the opportunity to enroll in another available course or have your full tuition refunded.

Decisions on course cancellations are at least one week before courses begin. Early registrations lead to more courses that run, so we encourage you to register early.

In the event that your instructor needs to cancel a class for any reason, students will be notified and a make-up class will be held in the week following the end of your course: you should tentatively block off this week, in case it is needed.

We cannot prorate or reimburse tuition for any missed classes. We encourage you to contact your instructor via their information in the syllabus to discuss any material you may have missed. CIA cannot offer any individual make up time.
