Sophia, go with "no refunds" and add a separate sentence to address that directly. That seems like the kind of thing that's going to need to be spelled out.
ETA: Or what Jesse said. That could work.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
No tuition refunds are granted after the first class session.

Thank you! That is perfect

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am still close enough to academia (and even closer to government talk) that I can come up with a ridiculous yet precise way to say things.

I do get really frustrated that everything here is written in this rather bizarre combination of immature, non-business-like prose and pedantic, jargon filled sentances that don't actually make sense. Not that I am a great writer, but I just feel like everything that is here already sounds moronic and it just takes so long to fix it. I was just rewriting a whole set of instructions for applying for a program that a) had no actually instructions except for a checklist that was not explained b) had a checklist with different names for application parts than were printed on the application and c) is written entirely in passive voice.

Writing by committee. Always a good time.
Also, it's kind of a problem that employees can't be expected to understand "no refunds" in this context. I'm just saying.

Oooooh. I hope that has enough bite to drag them through the mud at least.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay!
Lets hope she has good lawyers. With bazookas.

Oh- the no refunds thing is really complicated. And I am actually OK with academic-ese. Just in this particular department we have badly done academic-ese (like withdrawals are subject to tuition???). I think it might be because the nurses I work for aren't particularly academic, and a lot of the mistakes they make were trained out of me in a liberal arts college environment, while in a more clinical setting their writing wasn't the focus.
