days a week to the numbers above. Calls going into the message
system will be returned within one working day. You must speak
with a CCI representative to confirm a refund. All refunds
incur a $20.00 administrative fee.
Students who have prepaid for a course, but who are obtaining
their own codebook(s), will receive a full refund if cancellation
is received up to the day before the start of classes minus an
administrative fee.
Students who have prepaid the course fee and purchased
codebooks will receive a full
refund minus an administrative fee, if cancellation is
received on or before the Thursday before the week classes
begin.
UNRESTRICTED COURSE CANCELLATIONS
Students who have prepaid the unrestricted course fee and purchased
codebooks will receive a
partial refund, if cancellation is received after the Thursday
before the start of classes and before the first class in the
full amount of the course minus an administrative fee and

first class or delivered to an address of their choice.
Shipping and handling charges will be added
to the cost of the books for delivery to other places than the
first night class.
YOU PASS or WE PAY
We have found that students who complete this class have a
very high pass rate on the state exam. We have also found that
completing the class means making an honest attempt to do the
work of class before coming to the next class. We consider an
honest attempt to be at least 80% of class work with an
accuracy of 80%.
We want each person who takes this program to pass the state
test and we feel they will by doing the following:
-
Attend all of the classes for the entire length of the
class. This means you are in class start time, you observe
break times, and you remain until the class is over.
Begin classes with a current, unmarked codebook. Tab and
highlight codebook in accordance with CCI’s guidelines. Books
to be completely organized by class 5.
Do your class work before the next class and give it to the
instructor at the beginning of that class.
-
You take the state exam within two weeks (14 calendar days)
after completing the course.
Failure to take the exam in the allotted time for reasons
beyond the control of CCI does not count as maintaining
the time requirements of this program.
In the unlikely event that you do not pass the exam, and
you have met the conditions above, you MUST do the
following for reimbursement for the exam.
Send CCI a copy of the PROMETRIC EXAMINATION SCORE REPORT
within 21 calendar days after completing your class.
These may be faxed or mailed. If mailed, DO NOT SEND THE
ORIGINAL, in case it gets lost.
In addition, you must contact CCI within 21 calendar days
after completing your class to either request a
reimbursement check for your exam, and thus complete the
program, or to register for the next one or two series
of classes.
REIMBURSEMENT CHOICES
Immediate Reimbursement, Course Completed
Students electing to receive immediate reimbursement for
the exam fee are considered to have completed the program.
They will be classified as new students for attendance at
future classes.
Maintain Student Status, Continue Course Attendance
Students who have elected to attend classes during the next two
quarters and who have elected to defer reimbursement to a future
date will maintain active student status and may do so at no charge.
Students must register for future classes within 21 calendar days
after completing their class to register for the next one or two series
of classes. Students will have to use their own codebook and codebook organizers.
These students may select which classes they wish to
attend, or they may attend all of the classes. Students
will attend the first set of classes on a priority
status and second set of classes on a space available status.
Students completing the classes they elected to attend are
to call and request their reimbursement check for the exam.
They will then be classified as new students for attendance
at future classes.
NOTE: Students must have paid all fees in full by the fourth class to participate in this program.
Previous CCI students are not eligible for this program.
Snowstorms, classroom closings and other such occurrences that are beyond the control of CCI may impact exam dates. CCI accepts no responsibility for these events.
