Enrollment Application



Admission Policy and Process
Prospective students must fill out the Application for Enrollment. Instruction is in English only in all classes. Therefore, a basic understanding of English is necessary -- especially since there are many new technical terms to learn. Globe is not approved by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to admit foreign students. No credit is given for equivalent education. Any written contract or agreement signed by a prospective student shall not become operative until the student attends the first class or session of instruction.

Student Conduct
Students are expected to behave in a professional manner. Use of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited. Any student caught using drugs or alcohol or acting in an unruly manner may be expelled from the school.

Career Placement Assistance
The school has an active program to help students acquire jobs in the field. The staff is in contact with recording studios, especially those in the San Francisco Bay Area, and has a stellar reputation for preparing students who can really do the job of engineer or producer well. Because of this reputation studios often call us to hire our students. We have an internship program and also help with resumes and interviews. (more about jobs in the field)

Accommodations
We have no dorms, but we can help you find a place. Apartments are about $800 per month, whereas a room in house may be found for around $400 per month. If you are looking, let us know and we will help you with some tips on finding a place and some of the best areas to live in.

Student Grievances
Students should address any grievances with the appropriate instructor. Instructors are advised to inform the Director of any problems. Students may also talk with the Director. If still not resolved the student has the option to call the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. All grievances are documented and the Director will monitor the situation to assess its satisfactory resolution for a period of one month after the date of the grievance.

Cancellation And Refund Policy
You have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund. The institution, for all students, without penalty or obligation, shall refund 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100), if the notice of cancellation is made prior to or on the first day of instruction.
Cancellation will occur when the student gives written notice of cancellation to the school at the address specified on the enrollment agreement. You can do this by mail, hand delivery, or telegram. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, it is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by this agreement. You may withdraw from a course after instruction has started and receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the tuition and other refundable charges if you have completed 60% or less of the instruction. Refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal.
The amount of the refund shall be the amount the student paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours of instruction which the student has paid, less a $75.00 registration fee, and the documented cost of any equipment the Institute provided the student which was not returned in reusable condition within thirty (30) days after the student's withdrawal.

Example:
Tuition $5550
Registration Tuition $75
Reader/Book Fee
$75
  $5700 Tuition, plus all fees, all amounts paid for instruction
  - $75
Registration fee retained by school
  $5625 Total Amount Paid for instruction / less registration cap
REFUND = $5625 X Hours not attended, but paid for

Total # of hours paid for

The school will also refund money collected for sending to a third party on the student’s behalf such as a license or application fees. If the school cancels or discontinues a course or educational program, the school will make a full refund or all charges.

CANCELLATION AFTER COMPLETING 60% OF THE COURSE WILL RESULT IN NO REFUND.

Refunds are issued through the Business Office when a student withdraws from all classes. The issuance of a refund is not contingent upon notification of withdrawal by the student. Students who officially withdraw from the college should contact the School Director to initiate the issuance of a refund. For students receiving funding from a third party, tuition refunds are first applied toward repayment of third party funding.
