PEG Refund Policy

Platinum Educational Group (PEG) proudly does their best to provide you with excellent customer service.

If you are experiencing technical difficulties or just need help with our websites/software, contact our help desk at 616-818-7877 or contact us at platinumed.zendesk.com.

Client/School/Institution Refunds

PEG recognizes that there will be times when our service cannot be used and require a refund to be issued. If the client finds he or she is unable to use this service due to client technical issues that cannot be rectified by our team in a timely manner, a refund may be honored within 30 calendar days of the invoiced date, minus an administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges. The Refund Procedure listed below must still be followed.

Refunds to clients of unused account credit: Refunds of unused credit is processed if the request is made within 30 calendar days of invoiced date; minus any monies that was ‘gifted’ to the client or not paid for, and minus an administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges. The Refund Procedure listed below must still be followed. Credit within the account can be used for other classes at the same school for student access fees, or as a partial payment toward the total amount of student access needed. The credit purchased does not expire in the account, as long as, the annual license stays active.

Refunds to clients of unused student access cards: Refunds of unused/unscratched student access cards must be in perfect condition with no added stickers or marks on the access cards or postcard they are adhered to; within one calendar year of invoiced date, minus an administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges. The Refund Procedure listed below must still be followed.

Used credit is transferred instead of giving refunds: If the institution purchased student access, and if a student drops or leaves a program within 10 calendar days of the student’s enrollment, plus the institution provides a written request per the procedure below, PEG will reissue the school credit to their account for future students to use. In most instances, once credit is used for student enrollments or license renewals, refunds will not be given, unless PEG seriously or maliciously violated our service agreement. Rarely, a situation can arise when credit is used for student enrollment; however, all of the students of a specific course did not use the software at all, due to unavoidable extenuating circumstance. In these rare situations, at PEG’s discretion and approval, the credit used for enrollment for that specific course could be re-issued by PEG for equal enrollment for students of a different course; then the enrolled credit is transferred or re-used for another course enrollment. Again, refunds will not be issued, and this resolution is due to rare and specific situations, at PEG’s discretion.

Bookstore Refunds:

Occasionally a College/School Bookstore will order too many access cards for their needs. When this happens, the Bookstore Manager will need to email the refund request to accounting@platinumed.com, and mail the extra access cards (at the Bookstore’s expense) with primary contact information, to our address: Platinum Educational Group, 4370 Chicago Drive Suite B#205, Grandville, MI 49418. For the refund to be processed, the student access cards must be in perfect condition, no damage to the card, the scratch-off section still needs to be intact, and no added bookstore stickers to the access card or postcard they are adhered to. The access cards must be returned to us within one year of the invoice date for the refund to be granted. An administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges may apply.

Student Refunds

PEG recognizes that there will be times when a student cannot use our software and require a refund to be issued. If the student discovers during the first 10 calendar days that they are not enrolled in the correct program or if the student withdraws without using the software, a refund may be issued, minus an administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges. Student must email support@platinumed.zendesk.com, to make the refund request.

In cases where a student acquired an access number or an access card online from any source; however the student uses their own credit card instead of the access code/card, the student may be issued a refund, if the refund request is within 30 calendar days of signing up to use the software. In these situations, the refund will be subject an administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges.

Attention students seeking a refund: Our computer adaptive testing (CAT) portion within our software is designed to allow the student to experience a test similar to the National Registry, NCLEX or other adaptive testing experiences. It is not designed to be tutorial in nature and does not provide question/answer review. It does indicate on which learning objectives the student is strong and/or weak in. Platinum Educational Group does not issue refunds for students who are dissatisfied with the level of feedback from the CAT experience alone.

PEG’s Refund Procedure

  • All requests for refunds will be documented in written or email form.
  • Refunds are subject to an administrative/processing fee of up to 30% to cover bank fees and administrative charges.
  • PEG should have a record of a help ticket submitted via our help desk.

Additional Refund Policy Notes

  • PEG will NOT issue any refunds that were not directly purchased from PEG. If you purchased your access card/codes from Brady, Pearson, Amazon or another source, you will need to seek a resolution with that source.
  • PEG will NOT issue any refunds that were not directly purchased from PEG, including ‘ free’ funds that were given. Any funds that were given to the student, bookstore, client, school, institution, at no cost to the student, bookstore, client, school, institution, will not be refunded. Examples of ‘free’ funds not being refunded include referral bonus funds, marketing or ‘appreciation’ funds, prorated funds, free credit funds or related.

Platinum Educational Group Transfer Policy

PEG recognizes that there will be times when enrollment mistakes are made and a transfer within our software is requested.

Transfers will be allowed for the following reasons:

  • Transfer request is for another course/class within the same institution, at the same or lower provider level; if transfer is to a lower level course/class, the difference will not be refunded.
  • The student of an active account is enrolled within their institution for the wrong course/class or if the instructor requests the transfer due to their own enrollment acceptance error.
  • The student is active within the software and has to change course/class due to a shift scheduling change, to another similar course/class at the same institution.
  • Transfer requests from one closing institution to another active institution for a course/class at the same or lower provider level, is considered on a case by case basis.
  • If an institution waives tuition to another course/class at the same or lesser provider level, then we will waive the transfer fee, as well.
  • Active military deployment or reassignment.

Transfers will NOT be granted due to:

  • Student quits or fails their original course/class for any reason and now wants to enroll in a later course/class.
  • Student had opportunity to use the access card/code in an active course/class and failed to use the access then, and now the student wants to enroll in a later course/class with the same access card/code.

PEG’s transfer procedure

  • All transfer requests will be documented in written form from the client instructor or administrator; not a request from the student alone.
  • Transfers are subject to administrative fee of up to 30% of the list price.

PEG reserves the right to change this policy at any time, and can decide transfer requests on a case-by-case basis.
