NationsUniversity Refund Policy
NationsUniversity refund policies conform to the requirements of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). State regulations governing refunds may vary. In these cases, state regulations will apply.

A full refund will be given in the event that one of the following occurs:
(1) If the student is not conditionally or fully accepted into a degree program by the
University;
