Tuition and Fees
Tuition is charged by the program. A tuition and fee schedule is contained in the current Insert to the catalog.

THE SCHOOL REQUIRES that tuition payments must be current before students can progress to their Internship programs; sit for final examinations, graduation or placement assistance.

Tuition Plans
1. Payment in full (in the form of cash, credit card, check or money order made payable to Modern Technology School) before the first class session,


2. Payment of tuition and other fees may also be paid in an equal monthly payment, over the length of the program taken. Payments are due starting the first day of class, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter, until paid in full.

You can use the U.S. Department of Education’s Net Price Calculator to estimate costs.

Tuition payments should be either delivered in person to the Accounting Manager during regular business hours or postmarked and mailed so as to be received by their due date. Please note that checks which are returned for non-sufficient funds will be assessed a $10.00 processing fee. If tuition payments by check are returned more than once during the contract term, future payments will have to be made in cash, credit card or money order. Information regarding these payment plans may be obtained from the Business Office.

Student Tuition Recovery Fund

STRF Disclosure
California Law requires that upon enrollment a fee be assessed in relation to the cost of tuition (Educational Code Section 94343). These fees support the Student Tuition Recovery Fund, a special fund established by the California Legislature to reimburse students who might otherwise experience a financial loss as a result to untimely school closures. Institutional participation is mandatory. As of January 1, 2015 these fees have been reduced to $0.

To be eligible you must be a California resident and reside in California at the time the enrollment is signed, or when you receive lessons at a California mailing address from an approved institution offering correspondence instruction. Students who are temporarily residing in California for the sole purpose of pursuing an education specifically those who hold student visas, are not considered a California resident.

To qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application within one year of receiving notice from the Bureau that the school is closed. If you do not receive notice from the Bureau’s, you have four (4) years from the date of closure to file a SRFR application. If a judgement is obtained, you must file a STRF application with two (2) years of the final judgement.

You are eligible for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if all the following applies to you:

You are a student in an education program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal loans.
Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program or other payer unless you have a separates agreement to repay the third party.

You are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.
Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program or other payer, and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party.
The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Act (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents, or are enrolled in a residency programs attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Private Post Secondary Education.

You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:

1. the school closed before the course of instruction was completed.
2. the school’s failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license frees or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or material for which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school.
3. the school’s failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other costs.
4. There was a material failure to comply with the Act or this the Division within 30 days before the schools closed or, if the material failure began earlier than 30 days prior to closure, the period determined by the Bureau.
5. An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for a violation of the Act.
