What is the Withdrawal Policy for the Master's Program?

In order to officially request to withdraw from your program, please complete and submit the Request Form linked here.

If you withdraw from your program, you will also be removed from any associated Breathe For Change Educator Collective spaces or plans.

Your withdrawal will be processed accordingly depending upon the date of your form submission.

Note: If you’ve changed cohorts in the past, the policy below will apply to the date of the first Live Session of your original cohort.

Prior to the first Live Session of your program:

You will receive a refund of any payments you have made beyond your deposit.
All outstanding payments in your upcoming payment schedule will be canceled.

After the first Live Session of your program begins:

Your deposit is nonrefundable.
A cancellation fee will be applied to your balance owed.
Any completed payments beyond the deposit and cancellation fee will be credited to your Breathe For Change account as reusable tuition.
After your cancellation fee is processed, all outstanding payments in your upcoming payment schedule will be canceled.

If you have financed your program through Affirm, please review their refund policy here. If you are eligible for a refund, Breathe For Change will refund that amount to Affirm. You will need to work with the Affirm team to determine the actual refund amount you will receive based on their policies linked above.

Withdrawal requests must be submitted before the last Live Session of your program. You are not eligible for a withdrawal, refund, or credit beyond the last Live Session of your program.

Guarantees and Refund Policy

Breathe For Change has a guarantee policy in place in the unlikely case that there are issues with a transfer of a Certificate and/or Degree:

If an evaluation service determines that the Certificate or Degree is incomplete, Breathe For Change will provide additional coursework at no charge until the degree or certificate is complete.
If the evaluation service rejects the Certificate or Degree, or if the evaluation service verifies the Certificate or Master’s Degree and a school district rejects the Certificate or Degree due to it being a foreign degree, Breathe For Change will provide a full refund of the purchase of all programs bundled in the Certificate or Degree**.
*This policy does NOT apply if a school district does not recognize Certificates or Master’s Degrees for salary advancement, or if you are not eligible for advancement for other reasons.

Breathe For Change has a guarantee policy in place in the unlikely case accreditation is delayed:

If for any reason accreditation is not completed by the completion of your program, you are entitled to a full refund of tuition paid for the Practicum & Capstone and for any other program that was purchased as a package with the Practicum & Capstone**.

**If you choose to receive a refund of your tuition payments, you will no longer be eligible to earn the certificate or degree.
