Application Fee

All students must apply and be accepted to the college before being permitted to take courses. A non-refundable application-processing fee of $150 must be paid before the application is processed.

Tuition Fees. Tuition fees are charged for attendance at courses and must be paid in full before the student is permitted to attend classes.

Waitlists. When there are more students wishing to take a course than the number of seats available in that course, a waitlist is created. By paying the tuition fee, students may have their names placed on the first-in first-out waitlist. In the event that a student is removed from the course list by reason of withdrawal or non-payment of fees, then the top student on the waitlist is moved to the course list.

Last Day for Payment. For every term a Last Day for Payment is identified. Students who pay all of their fees on or before this date are guaranteed their places in their courses. Students who do not pay their fees on or before this date are removed from the course list. If there is a waitlist for the course, then students on the waitlist are moved to the course list in the order in which they joined the waitlist.

Late Fees. Students who register for a course after the Last Day for Payment must pay all outstanding fees at the time of registration and are assessed and additional 3% Late Fee on their outstanding balance.

Registration changes. Students may add courses to their programs during the first week of classes. All tuition fees must be paid at the time of registration and a late fee is assessed. Students may not register for a new course after the first week of classes.

During the first two weeks of classes, students may switch from one course to another provided that they have attended at least one class of their initial courses, and that there is space for them in their new course. There is no charge for changing courses.

Refunds.
Students who withdraw from a course on or before the Last Day for Payment receive a full refund of the tuition fee for that course. Students who enter a waitlist and are not successful in obtaining a seat in their desired course also receive a full refund of the tuition fee for that course.

International students who obtain a Letter of Acceptance from Alexander College cannot receive a refund unless they are denied a Study Permit Authorization by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Proof of permit denial by CIC is required and in this case they are eligible for a full refund of all fees.

Refunds for students who withdraw from courses after the Last Day for Payment are determined as follows:
   Fall, Winter and Spring course refunds
      Withdrawal before end of first week of classes 50% refund
      Withdrawal before end of second week 30% refund
      Withdrawal after the second week No refund
   Summer course refunds
      Withdrawal before start of the second class 50% refund
      Withdrawal before end of the first week 30% refund
      Withdrawal after the first week No refund

Students must confirm their intent to withdraw in writing or in person to a responsible staff member. Non-attendance does not constitute notice of withdrawal.
Refunds are sent to the sponsor, agency, or individual who initially paid the fees.
