Tuition and Fees
East West College offers its students the flexibility of being a
Program Student or an Independent Student depending on each student's
specific needs.
Program Student Tuition
A "Program Student" has committed to completing the program within the
maximum time allowed by the "Satisfactory Academic Progress" policy
published in the East West College catalog. The Program Student is not
affected by future tuition increases as long as the terms and
conditions of the Enrollment Agreement are met and all college policies
are adhered to.
Tuition for 800-hour Program Students is $13,200.00 at $16.50 per clock hour.
Independent Student Tuition
An "Independent Student" wishes to take classes at East West College on
'a pay you go' basis but doesn't want to be enrolled in a program.
Independent students must re-enroll each term with the Admissions
Department before registering for classes and they must pay the
Independent Student tuition prevailing at that time. Independent
students who complete all of the courses in a program are awarded a
certificate of completion rather than a diploma.
Tuition for Independent Students is $18.15 per clock hour.
Application Fee
An application fee of $25 must be submitted with the Application for
Admission in order to process the student's acceptance to the college.
This fee is refundable within five business days from the date of its
receipt or in the event the college does not accept the applicant.
Applications remain active for one year after the date of submission,
but applicants who enroll within this one-year period are responsible
for all financial, academic and other policies in effect at the time of
their enrollment.
Linen Fees
East West College provides professionally cleaned linens for all its
bodywork and clinic courses. Students who use the EWC massage practice
rooms must rent linens from the college at their own expense.
Course Materials and Text Books
At East West College you can obtain course materials and text books
containing all testable material for required courses which are
available in the bookstore.
Total Tuition and Additional Expenses
Students in the EWC Massage Therapy Programs should expect to incur an
additional $1,500 in expenses for textbooks, course materials,
supplies, and a massage table. Massage therapy students are required to
obtain a professional level massage table during the first two weeks.
Prices for a new massage table (including a face cradle and bolster)
range from $500-$850. Other expenses the students may incur are room
and board, transportation, personal expenses and loan origination fees.

Refund Policy
The EWC Pro Rata Refund Policy is based on Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 581-045-0036).
(1) A student may cancel enrollment by giving written notice to the
school. Unless the school has discontinued the program of instruction,
the student is financially obligated to the school according to the
following: (a) If cancellation occurs within five business days of the
date of enrollment, and before the commencement of classes, all monies
specific to the enrollment agreement shall be refunded. (b) If
cancellation occurs after five business days of the date of enrollment,
and before the commencement of classes, the school may retain only the
published registration fee. (c) If withdrawal or termination occurs
after the commencement of classes and before completion of 50 percent
of an academic term, the student shall be charged according the last
date of attendance. The student shall be entitled to a pro rata refund
of the tuition (a refund of tuition that has been paid for a portion of
the program beyond the last recorded date of attendance) when the
amount paid exceeds the charges owed to the school. In addition to the
pro rated tuition, the school may retain the registration fee, book and
supply fees, and other legitimate charges owed by the student. (d) If
withdrawal or termination occurs after completion of 50 percent or more
of the academic term, the student shall be obligated for the tuition
charged for the entire term and shall not be entitled to any refund;
(e) The portion of the academic term for which the student will be
charged is determined by dividing the total number of weeks in the term
into the number of weeks accrued as of the last date of attendance
according to the published term schedule. (2) The term “tuition” means
the charges for instruction including any lab fees. Tuition does not
include application fees, registration fees, or other identified
program fees and costs. EWC does not issue credits or refunds for
books, supplies or any fees except lab fees. (3) The school shall not
charge a withdrawal fee of more than $25. (4) When a cancellation,
withdrawal or termination occurs, a calculation of all allowable
charges shall be made. If such calculations evidence that the school
received total payments greater than its allowable charges: (a) Within
40 days after the date of determination of such cancellation,
withdrawal or termination a written statement showing allowable charges
and total payments received shall be delivered to the student by the
school, together with a refund equal in amount to monies paid to the
school in excess of those allowable charges; (b) In the event payments
to a student account are derived from federal and/or state tuition
assistance program(s), including student loan programs, regulations
governing refund notification and awarding within respective program(s)
shall prevail, but only with respect to the covered portions thereof;
(c) In the event payments to a student account are derived from a
sponsoring public agency, private agency, or any source other than the
student, the statement of charges and payments received together with
an appropriate refund may be delivered instead to such party(ies) in
interest, but only with respect to the covered portions thereof.
(5) In case of disabling illness or accident, death in the immediate
family, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student that
causes the student to leave school, the school shall arrange a prorated
tuition settlement that is reasonable and fair to both parties. Return to Title IV Policy Title IV funds are
awarded under the assumption that the student will attend school for
the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When the
students withdraws, s/he may no longer be eligible for the full amount
of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive.
Title IV funds include Federal Pell Grants, Stafford Loans and PLUS
loans.
Up through the 60% point in each payment period, a pro rata schedule is
used to determine the amount of Title IV funds the student has earned
at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point, a student has earned
100% of the Title IV funds s/he was scheduled to receive during the
period. The withdrawal date is defined as the last day of attendance at
a school-related activity.
The Return to Title IV Policy follows these steps:
Determine the percentage of the enrollment period completed by the
student:
Hours Attended ÷ Hours in Enrollment Period = Percentage Completed
If the calculated percentage exceeds 60%, then the student has earned
all Title IV aid for the term. Apply the percentage completed to the
Title IV aid awarded to determine the student’s eligibility for aid
prior to the withdrawal.
Total Aid Disbursed x Percentage Completed = Earned Aid
Determine the amount of unearned aid to be returned to the appropriate Title IV aid program.
Total Disbursed Aid - Earned Aid = Unearned Aid to be Returned
If the aid already disbursed equals the earned aid, no further action
is required. If the aid already disbursed is less than the earned aid,
the College requests permission from the student for a late
disbursement. If the aid already disbursed is greater than the earned
aid, the difference must be returned to the appropriate Title IV aid
program. Return the Title IV aid, based on the type of aid disbursed,
in the following order:
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
Federal Direct (Subsidized) Stafford Loan
Federal Direct PLUS (Parent) Loan
Federal Pell Grant
Title IV fund are returned as soon as possible, but not later than 45
days after the date of withdrawal.
Tuition and fees are subject to change at any time.
