Predispute Arbitration and Class Action Waivers
The Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations cannot require the borrower to participate in arbitration or any internal dispute resolution process offered by the institution prior to filing a Borrower Defense Repayment (BDR) claim. The college cannot, in any way, require students to limit, relinquish, or waive their ability to pursue filing a BDR claim. Any arbitration, required by a pre-dispute arbitration agreement, tolls the limitations period for filing a BDR claim. Kacey Atkinson, Financial Aid Director (katkinson@anho.edu), is the official at the college who will help the borrower to contact individuals both at the college and at the Department of Education to assist with resolving any issues involving loans or provision of Educational Services. The grievance procedure will be applied if necessary. All efforts will be made to resolve the issue satisfactorily.
