Student Loan Information
We are partnered with Climb Credit to offer student loans. Loan repayment will begin while you are enrolled in the program, after your funding has been confirmed. Click here to apply for a student loan.
The application is a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. Once you are formally enrolled, Altamont Healthcare will verify your loan. Payments will either start immediately or 3 months after graduation. If you are not approved for a loan, applying with a co-borrower with higher credit will boost your chances of approval.
Total loan terms range from 36 months (SPDT, SPDT+ERT, EKG) to 84 months (TS-C). Interest rates range from 7.99%-20.45%. Students who finance program costs with a loan from Climb Credit are not eligible for discounts offered by Options 1 or 2. We do not accept federal aid such as FAFSA.
Refund Policy
The registration fee of $250 required by all our programs is non-refundable once paid. Other parts of the enrollment fees, such as Materials and Books, are refundable until they have been ordered; these are non-refundable once they have been ordered. The Student Tuition Recovery Fund is a mandatory fee, as required by state regulations, and is non-refundable.
Tuition is refundable, and the refund amount will be adjusted based on the amount of class time that has occurred before the formal notice of cancellation is received. Students have a right to cancel, meaning they may cancel their enrollment with no penalty to their tuition amount either within 7 days of enrollment or until the class start date, whichever is later. The right to cancel does not apply to enrollment fees.
Late Payments
We understand that late payments may happen due to personal circumstances; we strive to accommodate any students undergoing hardship. If you are struggling with your payment schedule, we strongly recommend contacting us – we’ll work with you to make a Special Payment Arrangement that works for you. You may be surprised at the number of options available to you.
Payments made 7 days after the due date are late and will incur a $20 late fee. A late fee of $80 will be charged once the account is 30 days past due; a $100 charge will be added at 60 and 90 days. Late payments will disqualify students from any available discounts from payment plans or promotions.
It’s in your best interest to maintain open communication regarding late payments. Non-communication/ghosting will result in restricted class access, warning letters, termination from the program, withholding of the graduate certificate, a financial hold, and the account being sent to a third-party collections agency.
Special Payment Arrangements
If our in-house payment plans don’t work with your budget or schedule, we will work with you to create a payment plan that avoids late fees while you pursue your education. This option is available to all students regardless of whether they have already signed their enrollment agreement. We strongly recommend enrolling in a Special Payment Arrangement if you are running late or about to run late on your payments. Contact us if you are interested in a Special Payment Arrangement.
