| Costs to Student: |
The Earn and Learn program does not pay for failed, withdrawn, or incomplete coursework.

|
| Payment: |
At the end of the semester, partnership schools bill UPS directly for the student's tuition and fees. No up front costs are required from students attending partnership schools. If a student chooses to attend a non-partnership school, UPS will reimburse the student at the end of the semester. Students attending non-partnership schools must pay fees and tuition up front. |
