Tuition Refund Policy
A student may withdraw from a program by providing written notice to the institution. Refunds are calculated on the total fees due under the contract, less non-refundable (registration/application) fees.

- the institution receives a notice of withdrawal from the student no later than seven days after the effective contract date and before the contract start date;
- the student, or the student’s parent or legal guardian, signs the student enrolment contract seven days or less before the contract start date and the institution receives a notice of withdrawal from the student between the date the student, or the student’s parent or legal guardian, signed the student enrolment contract and the contract start date; or
- the student does not attend a work experience component and the institution does not provide all the hours of instruction of the work experience component within 30 days of the contract end date.

- If a student does not attend any of the first 30% of the hours of instruction provided during the contract term. In that case, the institution may retain up to 50% of the tuition paid under the student enrolment contract unless the program is provided solely through distance education.
