GENERAL INFORMATION AND CANCELLATION POLICIES FOR TECHNICAL TRAINING
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 2005

Cancellation policy:
Cancellation of attendance in any class by a prospective student (company) may take place up to two (2) weeks prior to starting date of course without charge. Notification to the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology within two (2) weeks prior to starting date for cancellation of attendance in any technical course will result in a handling charge of $100.00. Failure to notify of non-attendance or a "No-show" on the assigned starting date will result in forfeiture of all payments of tuition for that class.
     If the minimum number of students are not registered for a given course two (2) weeks prior to starting date, you will be notified of course cancellation. At that time you may either request your tuition be returned or choose to apply it to the next available starting date for the same course.
    If your application arrives after a class has been filled, you can select another date or receive a full refund. The tuition includes welding manuals, workbooks, literature and technical data. The Hobart Institute of Welding Technology does not and will not discriminate on the basis of disability, race color, religion, sex, national origin, or age regarding admission or access to its programs and activities.

TERI (The Education Resource Institute) Loans
For students who do not qualify for FFEL programs or have financial need in excess of FFEL funds, you may be eligible for a TERI Loan. Contact the Financial Aid office or call TERI direct at 1-800-255-TERI (8374) for more information.

  VA Program: Eligible U.S. military veterans may now apply Veteran's Administration educational benefits toward the Preparation for AWS (CWI-CWE) Welding Inspector/Educator Examination.
    Veterans who wish to utilize these funds must apply to the Veteran’s Administration for funding approximately eight weeks in advance and be approved prior to registration. You are expected to pay for the course in advance and then be reimbursed by the VA at the completion of the two-week course. This funding does not apply to the American Welding Society application fee associated with the AWS-CWI/CWE examination that is given on the tenth day of the ten-day course.
    VA forms are available from the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology by calling 1-800-332-9448, ext. 5221 or 937-332-5221, or from the VA directly by calling 1-888-442-4551.
    Additional funding for this course may be applied from the TERI (The Educational Resource Institute) Continuing Education Loan. Contact 1-800-255-8374 or 1-800-332-9448, ext. 5221 for additional information about this program.
    While the Hobart Institute encourages eligible students to apply for these benefits, it is the responsibility of the student to obtain and complete the necessary forms to secure the funding.
