No Obligation Policy
Upon acceptance by Randford University, the applicant has the option to pursue or deny the degree program. The applicant is under no obligation to make a purchase. If the student decides to pay all or part of the tuition, it is understood that the processing fee is non-refundable under any circumstances. We do have a return policy if the student is not satisfied and that section is listed below ("Refund Policy").
Classroom / Online Training
Every student has free access to all of the courseware listed prior to graduation. Our online classes and distance learning programs were developed to satisfy any education gaps in order to receive a degree. Classes are only available prior to graduation. In some instances, access to classes may be granted after graduation for an additional fee. Classroom training may be available if the number of students signing up for a particular course is sufficient. In most cases, students will prefer to take online classes if they are needed to graduate. There are several locations available for classroom studies if the student population is adequate.
Disclosure of Student Information
The applicant understands that submitting his or her qualifications as part of the degree approval process gives Randford University and any of its associates the authority to review and investigate the resume, transcripts, and any other information sent to us. This evaluation will be based on the applicants ability to demonstrate the experience and knowledge that matches the requirements of the desired degree.
Verification of Student Information
The applicant understands that they are authorizing Randford University to verify all information and releases all third parties from any damage that may result from this investigation. Any misstatement or omission of information on the applicant's application may result in disqualification of the degree.
Student's Right to Review
The applicant understands that if they do not qualify for the degree they are seeking, Randford University may award an alternate or lesser degree. The assessment team may also refuse the degree altogether. If the students qualifications do not meet the requirements, they may choose to apply for online training to satisfy the missing components. The applicant has the right to question any decision made by Randford University and provide any additional documentation, references or other information as required.
Legitimacy of Degrees
Randford University makes its initial decision on your qualifications based on the information you provide. This may include information from your resume, transcripts, certifications and all other information provided. Randford University may make an effort to confirm certain information to determine the accuracy and eligibility for the desired degree. Any misleading or falsified details may result in immediate disqualification. The applicant understands that Randford University makes an independent decision in granting a degree and cannot guarantee that its decision will correspond to the guidelines of other agencies in all instances. Being accredited with various organizations is a voluntary process and our accrediting agencies may or may not be recognized by the Department of Education.
Release of Student Information
The applicant understands that by applying for a degree, they are asking Randford University to review and investigate their qualifications. The information obtained during this process will never be given, sold or rented to any third party. Randford University reserves the right to contact the applicant via e-mail or mailing address in order to send information about its programs or services.
Accreditation
The applicant understands that any private organization that grants accreditation to Randford University determines our eligibility independently. This accreditation is based on a combination of our courses, academic studies, and/or policies that we practice in determining the degree qualifications. The applicant should obtain all available details regarding accreditation and validity of degrees offered from any university. Every employer, university, agency or business may have different policies as to the acceptance of a degree. This criteria should be determined in advance of pursuing a degree program with Randford University. The applicant understands that while Randford University may be accredited by some organizations, it is impossible to be accredited by all organizations. The applicant understands that while Randford University degrees may be widely accepted, we cannot not guarantee or imply that your degree will be accepted by everyone. If you are unsure that your current company, potential employer or school will accept your degree, we encourage you to contact them before proceeding with any degree. The applicant understands that individual states may have requirements that may impact the acceptance of any degree. If the degree is not accepted by a particular organization after being awarded, the student can follow the guidelines in the refund policy. These statements should be observed when pursuing degrees from any educational institution, not just Randford University.
Payments
If the applicant has chosen a payment plan, payments will be taken out automatically at a predetermined period. The actual date that payments will be deducted from your account will vary up to 10 business days of the scheduled payment date. Banks and credit card companies may process payments at different intervals and this may effect your available credit card balance or bank cash balance during this period. It is important to recognize this time period in order to have the payment processed correctly. Randford University will not be held responsible for any bank charges incurred or reductions in available credit within a 10 business day period before or after the scheduled payment date. If this time period window is not acceptable or inconvenient, students are able to make a one time full payment with no recurring charges.
