No Refund, Attendance & Course Completion Policy

Clear Pathe of Hope

Effective Date: October 19, 2026

Our Commitment to Students

At Clear Pathe of Hope, our mission is to help every enrolled student successfully complete their educational requirements.

We understand that unexpected circumstances, scheduling conflicts, and personal emergencies may occur. Although all payments are final, we are committed to working with our students to provide an opportunity to complete the course they have purchased.

1. Course Registration and Enrollment

Payment is required to secure enrollment in a scheduled course unless an approved payment arrangement has been established.

Students are responsible for reviewing their selected course dates, attendance requirements, and class format before completing registration.

Enrollment is confirmed after payment has been processed and registration requirements have been satisfied.

2. No Refund Policy

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS.

Clear Pathe of Hope does not offer voluntary refunds for course registrations, missed classes, scheduling conflicts, cancellations requested by students, or failure to attend.

Instead of issuing refunds, Clear Pathe of Hope will work with students to provide an opportunity to complete their purchased course on an available future date.

Any refund or other remedy expressly required by applicable law or Georgia DDS regulations will be honored.

3. Rescheduling Requests

All rescheduling requests must be made directly through the Clear Pathe of Hope office.

Students who cannot attend their scheduled course must contact the office to arrange an alternative class date.

- All rescheduling requests are handled by the school.

- Clear Pathe of Hope will work with students to identify an available future session.

- Students cannot independently change or transfer their enrollment.

- The school determines available rescheduling dates and confirms enrollment.

- Students remain responsible for satisfying all applicable course requirements.

Our goal is to ensure every paid student has an opportunity to complete their course.

4. Missed Classes, No-Shows, and Consecutive Attendance

Students are expected to attend all scheduled sessions and arrive on time.

Clear Pathe of Hope schedules its 20-hour DUI/Risk Reduction Intervention course over three consecutive days.

All three days must be completed consecutively under the school's standard course schedule.

If a student misses a session, arrives late, leaves early, or cannot complete the scheduled three-day course:

- The student must contact the Clear Pathe of Hope office.

- The school will assist the student with scheduling a future course.

- Under the school's standard rescheduling policy, students restarting a course must begin on Day One.

- Previously attended sessions will not automatically be credited toward a newly scheduled three-day course.

- No completion certificate will be issued until all required course components have been successfully completed.

Georgia DDS Missed-Session Requirements

Under Georgia Rule 375-5-6-.15(4)(e), students with qualifying excused absences may attend another Intervention course to complete missed sessions.

Qualifying circumstances include military duty, a personal medical emergency, a medical emergency involving an immediate family member, or a death in the immediate family.

Other absences may be excused at the Program Owner's discretion.

Clear Pathe of Hope will review these circumstances in accordance with DDS regulations and applicable student contract requirements.

The school's standard practice is to arrange a complete three-day restart when a student cannot finish the originally scheduled course. Any alternative permitted by DDS must be coordinated through the office.

5. In-Person Classroom Requirements

Students attending in-person classes must:

- Arrive on time for every scheduled session.

- Attend the entire required instructional period.

- Follow all classroom rules and instructor directions.

- Participate in required activities and assessments.

- Complete the full 20-hour Intervention course and any other required components.

Georgia DDS does not permit students to be admitted late or dismissed early from required Intervention sessions.

6. Live Virtual Classroom Requirements

Clear Pathe of Hope may offer live virtual instruction when the course and delivery method are authorized under applicable Georgia DDS requirements.

Live virtual instruction is different from self-paced online learning.

Students enrolled in authorized live virtual courses must comply with the following requirements:

Real-Time Instruction

Classes must be conducted live with an instructor using an approved video conferencing platform. Prerecorded lessons, independent study, and self-paced modules do not satisfy the live classroom attendance requirement.

Camera Visibility

Students must remain visible on camera throughout required instructional sessions, except for authorized breaks or accommodations.

Students must be prepared to participate and respond to the instructor.

Full Attendance

Students must attend all required instructional hours and complete the full curriculum and assessments.

Clear Pathe of Hope's standard three-day attendance and rescheduling policies apply to live virtual courses.

Technology Requirements

Students must have a reliable internet connection, a functioning camera and microphone, and a device capable of supporting live video instruction.

Students experiencing technical difficulties must notify the instructor or office immediately.

Appropriate Learning Environment

Students must participate from a quiet, safe environment that allows them to remain attentive and engaged.

Driving, working, or participating in activities that interfere with instruction is prohibited during class.

Instructor and Classroom Preparation

Clear Pathe of Hope requires the virtual classroom host to be prepared at least 30 minutes before the scheduled class start time.

Students must follow all check-in, identification, attendance, and participation instructions provided by the school.

Missed Virtual Sessions

Students who disconnect, leave early, or fail to meet required participation standards may be considered absent for the affected instructional period.

The office will work with affected students to arrange a future course in accordance with the school's attendance policy and applicable DDS regulations.

7. Online Course Acceptance and Student Responsibility

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ONLINE COURSES

Georgia DDS states that certificates from online DUI/Risk Reduction courses are not accepted for Georgia driver's license or driving privilege purposes.

Georgia DDS regulations separately authorize qualifying certified programs to conduct synchronous remote classroom instruction under established requirements.

Students must confirm before enrolling that their selected course format is acceptable to the agency, court, county, or other authority requiring course completion.

Students should contact the Clear Pathe of Hope office for clarification about the format of the course being offered and its applicable authorization.

Clear Pathe of Hope does not guarantee that every court, county, agency, or jurisdiction will accept a particular course format.

8. Classes Rescheduled by Clear Pathe of Hope

If Clear Pathe of Hope must cancel or reschedule a class, enrolled students will be offered another available course date.

The school will communicate scheduling changes and work with affected students to arrange completion.

Any additional rights or remedies required by applicable law will be honored.

9. Third-Party Payment Plans

Students who purchase courses using installment payment services remain responsible for the terms and conditions of their selected payment provider.

Rescheduling a course does not automatically cancel or modify payment obligations.

10. Contact the Office

For all enrollment questions, missed classes, attendance concerns, cancellations, or rescheduling requests, students must contact the Clear Pathe of Hope office directly.

Please provide:

- Student's full name

- Registered course

- Original scheduled class date

- Reason for contacting the office

Our staff will assist with identifying an appropriate future class date and explaining the requirements for successful course completion.

11. Policy Acknowledgment

By registering and submitting payment, students acknowledge that they have reviewed and agree to Clear Pathe of Hope's No Refund, Attendance & Course Completion Policy.

All provisions are subject to applicable Georgia DDS regulations and other legal requirements.

At Clear Pathe of Hope, our priority is not simply enrolling students. It is helping them complete their educational requirements.
