  • Non-refundable tuition payments are as follows:
    • Non-degree track programs = $250
    • Post-graduate Certificate = $350
    • Master’s Degree = $500
• If financed through Affirm, your tuition payment (minus the non-refundable portion) will be sent directly to Affirm and your actual refund amount will be based on the Affirm Refund policy
  • You will need to work with the Affirm team to determine the actual refund amount you will receive based on their policies linked above.

After one week prior to the first Live Session of each Module:

• All tuition payments are non-refundable
• Any completed payments will be credited to your Breathe For Change account as reusable tuition.

During promotional periods that include additional discounts on tuition and/or free giveaways, all tuition payments are non-refundable.

Withdrawal requests must be submitted before the last Live Session of your current Module. You are not eligible for a withdrawal, refund, or credit for each module beyond its last live session. 

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.

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