CANCELLED/POSTPONED COURSES

Any course is subject to cancellation at the discretion of the College due to low enrollments.   A full refund of fees will be made automatically by the College. The College reserves the right to reschedule classes when deemed necessary.   While the College makes every effort to permit students to complete a certificate program, the College will provide the courses in Elgin County only if there is sufficient enrollment. Travel to other campuses may be necessary in some cases in order to complete programs.

 

COURSE FEE/INCOME TAX

Payment for course fees can be made by cheque, money order, VISA, Mastercard or Interact.   Postdated cheques are not accepted. Tuition fees may be tax deductible and students are advised to retain their receipt.   The College will issue a T2202A form for eligible course fees in February online.   Course fees may include a College service fee which is not tax deductible.

 

COURSE PREREQUISITES

Prerequisites are listed with each course description and you must complete these requirements prior to registration. Course credit may be granted based on education and/or training. Contact the   programming area for information.
