Class Fee

Business & Ethics selects serious students who are ready to take responsibility for themselves. This class is important and requires a commitment.  That’s why there is a deposit of 200 RON due on orientation day which will be returned to you when you graduate.  However, if for any reason you do not complete the requirements to earn a diploma, no money will be refunded.  All unreturned fees will be used for class expenses.  No monies will be used for instructors’ salary.  All instructors, guest speakers, and businesses participate in Business & Ethics on a volunteer basis.
