Grounds for Dismissal
Edison College Canada may dismiss a student from a program on any of the following grounds:
- Students whose conduct is detrimental to the safety and integrity of the College environment or a risk to other students, staff and instructors, or to the College.
- Students who violate the ‘Respectful and Fair Treatment of Students’ policy.

Dismissal Process
The process by which a student may be dismissed from a program is as follows:
When the College has determined that a student will be dismissed, the student will be notified in writing in person or by registered mail. The ‘Letter of Dismissal’ will describe the nature of the violation (including date and time), the basis and rationale for the dismissal and the effective date.
The Campus Director, Rachael McPherson will determine if there are any other monies due, the amount of the tuition refund, if any, if the ancillary costs should be refunded, the amount, and the person or agency that this money should be returned to. Refund calculations will be based on the date of dismissal.
The letter of dismissal will include a summary of the student’s financial account prepared by the Campus Director including a statement describing the student’s financial responsibility if money was provided by a government funding agency, through a scholarship, or a grant. The College will notify the government funding agency(s) or other external agency(s) as required of the student’s change in enrolment status.
A copy of the student’s notification, any supporting documentation, the College’s letter of dismissal, and any correspondence in any form with the student and/or funding agencies is to be retained in the student’s file.
