Business ProfileforSaint James School of Medicine

I paid for clinical rotation upfront during the end of my second year preclinical courses. I paid approximately ****** and they are taking a less administrative surcharge of $3,000 and a counseling fees of $5,000. This total of $8,000 is being taken out of the $******. We as students were not told and also the contract which we signed to pay the tuition did not have this information clearly stated. No where on the contract does it state this policy that I signed. The students should be informed clearly on the contract that there will be amounts of money deducted if withdrawn. I withdrew and did not get a full refund. I was told my *********************(my point of contact there) that I would be getting my full refund over the phone. I e-mailed the finance department and they stated I will only get a partial refund because it is their policy and its on their website. I looked on their website and I couldn't find it clearly stated until I googled and it was hidden under the support desk FAQ. This is deceptive business in order to get money from students who never got to finish clinical rotations and did not get to completed their board exam prior to clinical rotations. I withdrew because of health reasons and my lack of interest in continuing any further. Also on their website it states According to the student payment and refund policy: "This policy has several benefits for students. Primarily, students do not need to prepay for future semesters of CS1 until they successfully pass the ***** Step 1. " This is a clear contradiction they have on their website as this is what is stated on top of their page but then goes on to explain their deduction policy on the bottom of the page. This information was not given on the contract.
