I signed up for this program 2 years ago and due to lack of enthusiasm have not progressed on this at all. But I have been faithfully sending in my monthly payment for the Loan they took out for me.

My question is this: Part of the loan amount I took out was to cover future exam fees. They were prepaid. When I'm ready to take an exam I am to contact The College Network and they will send me a check. If I decide I do not ever want to pursue my education with TCN is there a way for me to recoup prepaid $ I sent them specifically for future exam fees that I did not use?

If anyone can answer this it would be much appreciated.

The likelihood of ever getting your money back from the College Network is nonexistent, unless you canceled within three days of signing your contract. Many people have attempted, to no avail, to get a refund before you.

I agree with the other posters. I also signed up with them 2 years ago and prepaid for future exams. I am forced to use them so each time i take a test I fax them the results and they send me a new check for the next exam i choose to take. If you don't take the exams and show them proof of passing they will just keep taking your money towards the loan you signed for. My advice is that if you can try to utilize the investment you signed up with TCN and try to make the best out of it, make it work for you. Even if you have to switch programs ( I started out doing ISU bsn- lpn now doing excelsior adn ) I had to pay $200 fee to change programs but that's the only way for me to deal with the mistake of signing up and the thousands I am wasting with them.

Good Luck

i asked tcns academics service about this.. theysaid that if you finance your exam fees with TCN then they are obligated to pay for them as you test (if your contract is in good standing)-- regardless of any increase. so if you financed your exam fees at $225 and they are now $250, they have to pay you $250 when you test.

so, get on it!
