Photography Certificate Agreement

I, the undersigned Registrant (the “Registrant” or upon class start “Student”), wish to enter the Certificate Program (defined below) indicated on this REGISTRATION FORM (this “AGREEMENT”). However, I understand there are a limited number of students who may be registered in any class. If this Agreement is not accepted by Nossi College of Art (“Nossi”) because the request date is filled, or if the starting date must be postponed by Nossi by more than 30 days, I will receive a full refund of all monies paid or I may delay the start of my Certificate Program for up to one year without having to pay an additional fee for registration. If there is a tuition increase in the interim, I will be expected to complete a new agreement for the new tuition rate and I will be responsible for any such increases. I understand that Nossi will assign me a class time in the evening at its discretion, based upon class availability. I agree to abide by all rules and regulations of Nossi. Nossi reserves the right to dismiss or discipline any Student at any time for: (i) nonpayment of tuition, (ii) failure to comply with Nossi rules or regulations, or (iii) any unsatisfactory conduct. Nossi displays student artwork both in on-campus galleries and in Nossi materials such as the catalog, website, TV, career fairs and brochures. While Student retains all rights to such art, Nossi reserves the right and shall have a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use student artwork for these marketing and display purposes. Nossi is proud of its students and wants to “show-off” their artwork and projects. Nossi also employs alumni and other professionals to document classroom, field trip and campus activities. Your image and/or likeness may be used in marketing, blog and advertising campaigns for Nossi and Student hereby expressly grants Nossi a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use his or her image and/or likeness accordingly.

SERVICES

I understand that the “Certificate Program” includes the features and services set forth below:

  1. Certificate Program: The Certificate Program shall consist of theory and practical aspects of the program chosen (as outlined in the most recent Nossi website). The Certificate Program consists of 14 weeks. The typical week will consist of approximately 4 hours of instruction. Evening classes are held 6 – 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, one day per week. All classes are subject to availability.
  2. Transfer of Credits: You will not receive course credit on your college transcripts when you graduate from the certificate programs. Although this certificate will not transfer to other colleges, it will provide a path for Nossi students to seek additional degrees in a shorter amount of time. If you are interested in future degree opportunities, please ask your admissions representative how this may apply to you.
  3. Career Placement Service: Nossi DOES NOT provide placement service assistance upon completion of the Certificate Program; job placement or employment is not guaranteed or implied.

EDUCATIONAL COSTS

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE COST OF THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM SHALL BE PAID AS FOLLOWS:
$100.00 Registration fee (a non-refundable one-time fee)
$4950.00 Tuition charges per 14-Week Program

The total current tuition cost for the 14-week Certificate Program (the normal time to complete the Program) is $4950, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Charges by Nossi do not include living expenses (room and board), transportation and items such as papers, pens, pencils or other personal expenses. Charges also do not include personal computers, software or tablets, textbooks or supplies. We estimate that the current approximate average cost of books, supplies, computer and software per semester to be minimal as there are no requirements for books or computers. Photography Certificate students are required to have a DSL camera purchased on their own. DSL cameras may range from $1,500 up. A Student pays $100.00 non-refundable registration fee with his/her signed Agreement. Students who terminate or are terminated by Nossi are still responsible for the charges owed according to the refund policy as stated in this Agreement.
