Library Services The LIRN collection provides students with millions of peer-reviewed and full-text journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, e-books, podcasts, audio, and video resources to support their academic studies from Gale, Cengage, ProQuest, EBSCO, eLibrary, Books 24x7, and more, covering topics for General Education, Business, and Medical programs. The LIRN library is available to all enrolled students at Sumner College. Students will be given a user name and password to access the database while they are enrolled at the college. Sumner College makes every effort to provide students with an atmosphere conducive to learning. A student library is available for all current students to use for educational purposes. Students may check out books, with the exception of reference texts, for two weeks. Any lost or damaged books will be charged to the student based on the current market price of the book. Wireless and high speed internet are available in the library. The LIRN Librarian Service is available to assist with analyzing library services, resources, and database usage to ensure library effectiveness. Students can request help through a user-friendly pop-up question form on the LIRN Portal. One of the LIRN librarians will provide assistance via e-mail, phone call, or screen-share depending on the complexity of the students’ needs. Refund & Credit Policy In the event that a student terminates attendance prior to the completion date, the student may be entitled to a refund of unused tuition. This policy shall apply to all withdrawals for any reason, by either party. The percentage of the student’s program completion will be based on the unit of measurement (enrollment period) oof that program as registered with the State of Oregon as set forth in this catalog. Any refund will be calculated on the basis of the published class schedule, using the last date of attendance as the termination date. An applicant may cancel their enrollment at any time before the commencement of their training by giving written notice to the college; and all monies paid by applicant will be refunded if notice of cancellation is received within five business days after signing the Enrollment Agreement. An applicant requesting cancellation subsequent to five business days after signing the Enrollment Agreement but prior to beginning classes shall be entitled to a refund of all tuition monies paid to the college and the application fee if cancellation of enrollment occurs within 5 business days. Supplies purchased through Sumner College are nonrefundable. Nonrefundable fees that are charged after the first day a student attends class are the application fee, the registration fee, and the lab fees. Lab fees are prorated based on the point in which the student drops. If training is terminated by the student or Sumner College for any reason after entering classes, unless the college has discontinued the program of instruction, the student is financially obligated to the college according to the following formula:
If the student completes this amount of training:
The school may keep this amount of the tuition cost:
One week or up to 10% whichever is less
10%
Two weeks or up to 20% whichever is less Three weeks or up to 30% whichever is less
20%
30%
Four weeks or up to 40% whichever is less
40%
More than 50%
100%
State of Oregon Cancellation Policy (a) Tuition shall be charged by the credit hour or by fixed rate for instruction during an academic semester, quarter, or shorter term. No student is obligated for tuition charged for a term that had not commenced when the student withdrew or a term that was truncated by cessation of school services. (b) Except as noted below in this section, fees not included in tuition shall not exceed five percent of full-time tuition for any term in which separate fees are charged. One-time application or admission fees may exceed 5 percent of first-term tuition, but shall not exceed $200. Lab or equipment fees related to the actual necessary operational costs of specific courses may exceed 5 percent of tuition, provided that the fees are made known to students prior to enrollment in the course. Nominal fees for late payments, course withdrawals and the like are acceptable. (c) After classes begin for a term, a student who withdraws from a course is eligible for a partial refund through the middle week of the term. Refunds shall be based on unused instructional time and shall be prorated on a weekly basis for schools using a semester, quarter or nontraditional calendar. Without specific office approval, refund rates shall not be differentiated on the criteria of a student’s source of income or loan repayment obligations except as otherwise required by law. (d) Any fees for credit transferred, for credit attempted or earned by examination or portfolio must be based on the cost of service actually provided, ordinarily less than the cost of regular instruction. The mere award of credit does not justify a fee. (e) Academic policies shall not artificially prolong the enrollment of a failing student with the effect of increasing financial obligation. (f) Separation from the school for reason of discipline or other administrative action shall not cause forfeiture of ordinary refund amounts.
