Terms and Conditions Agreement

By registering and submitting payment on this website, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to the Terms and Conditions of the course I have selected, including the applicable Refund and Cancellation Policy. I understand that this constitutes a binding agreement between Academy for Dental Assistants and me.

Payments & Authorization

I authorize the school to charge my selected payment method and acknowledge that I am responsible for all payments, including those made by a third party on my behalf (such as a parent, family member, employer, or sponsor). I confirm that all payments are authorized.

I understand that my payment secures a seat in a scheduled course and constitutes acceptance of all associated charges, services, and policies.

Payments are due as agreed at the time of registration, whether as a one-time payment or under a payment plan. For payment plans, payments are due on scheduled dates regardless of holidays, absences, class changes, withdrawal, or termination.

Enrollment constitutes a financial commitment, and all agreed-upon payments remain due regardless of attendance or completion. Failure to remain current may result in restricted participation, removal from the program, and/or withholding of certificates until the balance is paid in full.

Late, returned, or failed payments may result in additional fees and/or restriction of payment methods.

Registration & Forms

For the 12-Week Program, 6-Week Orthodontic Course, and 1-day courses, all required registration forms must be completed and submitted within three (3) business days of registering online in order to guarantee a seat in the class.

The school will hold a seat for up to three (3) business days; failure to submit required documentation within this timeframe may result in forfeiture of the reserved seat.

Forms may be submitted electronically as directed by the school.

Cancellations & Transfers (All Courses)

All cancellation or transfer requests must be submitted in writing via email to info@academy4da.com. The applicable Refund and Cancellation Policy for the selected course will be followed.

All cancellations and refunds will omit the 3.5% transaction fee as well as the course’s non-refundable registration fee.

12-Week Program & 6-Week Orthodontic Course

Transfer Policy

Transfer requests must be submitted at least seven (7) days before the start date to avoid a $100 fee. Requests made within seven (7) days may be subject to a transfer fee.

Refund Policy

Refunds are governed by the signed Enrollment Agreement and are prorated only up to a certain point in the program, after which no refunds are issued.

-If a student cancels the program before the first day of class, the refund will exclude a $150 nonrefundable registration fee, as well as the 3.5% transaction fee applied at the time of payment.

-Withdrawal through 40% of the program results in a pro rata refund

-Withdrawal after 40% completion results in no refund

-Refunds will be issued by check, payable to the cardholder who submitted the payment, within 30 days of the determination of withdrawal.

-If the school cancels a program, a full refund will be issued

-All textbooks, supplies, and materials are non-refundable and non-returnable once purchased/issued.

Program Policies

Failure to comply with attendance, academic, conduct, or payment policies may result in termination and may affect refund eligibility.

The school does not guarantee outcomes, including course completion, passing results, employment, or externship placement. The school is not responsible for securing or maintaining an externship site. Externship placement and continuation are not guaranteed and are subject to the discretion of the dental office.

Payment Plan Disclosure

By registering and selecting the deposit option, I acknowledge and agree that the total cost of tuition will be higher than the full tuition price due to a finance charge applied to payment plan options.

I acknowledge that:

-The full tuition price is $2,795

-The total cost when using a payment plan is $2,940, which includes a $145 finance charge

-This finance charge is applied to payment plan options and distributed across the scheduled payments

I understand that by selecting the deposit/payment plan option, I am agreeing to complete the remaining balance through scheduled payments unless I choose to pay the remaining balance in full before the first day of class.

If the remaining balance is paid in full before the first day of class, the finance charge will be removed, and the total tuition will be adjusted to the full tuition price.

If I do not pay the remaining balance in full before the first day of class, I agree to the total payment plan amount, including the finance charge.

1-Day Certification Courses (EFDA Certification, Dental Radiology Certification, EFDA/X-ray Combo Certification, and All Refresher Courses)

Cancellation & Transfer Policy

-A minimum of seven (7) days’ notice before the hands-on (clinical) portion is required for refund eligibility

-Requests made within seven (7) days are non-refundable

-Transfers within seven (7) days are subject to a $100 transfer fee

-Only one transfer may be granted without a fee; additional transfers may be subject to fees

-Cancellations made after registration will omit the 3.5% transaction fee as well as a $25 non-refundable registration fee.

Course Access & Completion

Accessing any online materials constitutes the start of the course and acknowledgment of services rendered, which may impact refund eligibility.

All courses must be completed within 90 days, after which access will expire with no refund.

Charge Disputes

By registering and submitting payment, I acknowledge and agree to all charges and policies associated with my enrollment. I agree to contact the school directly to resolve any billing concerns prior to initiating a dispute with my financial institution.

I understand that a charge dispute is not a valid method of requesting a refund. Failure to attend the course, complete the course, or achieve a desired outcome does not constitute valid grounds for a dispute.

Accessing/viewing course material, participating in, or receiving any portion of the course (online or in-person) constitutes acceptance of services rendered.

I further agree that disputes for charges related to any portion of the course accessed, attended, or made available are not considered valid, and that I remain financially responsible for all agreed charges.

Dental Radiology Certification & Licensure

The course meets all Florida Board of Dentistry requirements for dental X-ray certification.

After certification, you’ll need to apply for licensure through the Florida Board of Dentistry. For questions about the application process, contact the board directly at (850) 245‑4474.

Important: After successfully completing the Dental Radiology Certification Course, students must submit their Dental Radiographer application to the Florida Board of Dentistry in order to receive their Dental Radiographer certification number. We recommend submitting your application as soon as possible after completing the course; however, applications must be submitted within one year of course completion. Applications submitted after one year may no longer be accepted by the Florida Board of Dentistry.

Academy for Dental Assistants is a Florida Board of Dentistry-approved education provider and is responsible for providing the required education and certification. However, the Florida Board of Dentistry is solely responsible for reviewing applications and issuing Dental Radiographer certification numbers. Academy for Dental Assistants is not responsible for application approvals, denials, delays, or decisions made by the Florida Board of Dentistry. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all information submitted with their application is complete, accurate, and current.

If you have questions regarding the application process, application status, eligibility requirements, or certification number, please contact the Florida Board of Dentistry directly.
