Tuition Fees and Expenses

Where the number of credits in the normal course load is exceeded because students have been granted permission to enrol in additional subjects or are required to take remedial courses in addition to the normal course load requirements for their program, they will be assessed additional tuition fees for each extra subject. The fees for these extra subjects will be the same fee that a part-time student is required to pay. Payment of this fee is due at the time of registration for the extra subject.

Please note that dropping courses may not necessarily result in a reduction of fees.

If you choose to withdraw from college prior to selecting your timetable, please notify the college in writing in order to be eligible for a refund of tuition and ancillary fees paid minus non-refundable deposit of $250 due June 15.

After Registration, up to the First Ten days of program semester start

Refund Appeal Request Guidelines

Refund Appeal Request Form

Eligibility
Students are required to register for the program through Student Success Services at https://www.canadorecollege.ca/support/student-success-services

Students are to provide documentation confirming the disability and the need for a reduced course load as a learning accommodation.

For the purposes of this policy, the definition of permanent disability is:

a functional limitation caused by a physical or mental impairment that restricts the ability of a person to perform the daily activities necessary to participate in studies while enrolled in what the institution considers to be a full course load for the period of study in question, which impairment is expected to remain with the person for the expected duration of the person’s postsecondary studies.

For the purposes of this policy, the definition of persistent or prolonged disability is:

any impairment, including a physical, mental, intellectual, cognitive, learning, communication or sensory impairment, or a functional limitation, that,
(a) restricts the ability of a person to perform the daily activities necessary to pursue studies at a post-secondary school level or to participate in the labour force, and
(b) has lasted, or is expected to last, for a period of at least 12 months but is not expected to remain with the person for the person’s expected life

Policy
Students who require a reduced course load as a learning accommodation for a permanent, persistent or prolonged disability may be eligible for reduced tuition fees for the final courses needed to complete their academic program.

Students with a reduced course load as a learning accommodation and who register in additional semesters in order to complete their program are eligible to pay a reduced tuition fee of $20 per course upon full payment of the equivalent in tuition fees as a student completing the program in the approved duration known as the Tuition Threshold Amount.

The policy covers only the tuition portion of student fees. Students are required to pay all applicable ancillary fees for each semester in which they are enrolled.

Courses, which students are unsuccessful in, or withdraw from (after the early withdrawal date), are not eligible for calculation of the Tuition Threshold Amount. Tuition fees from unsuccessful or withdrawn courses are deducted from the Tuition Threshold Amount.

Students eligible to pay the reduced fees will have to pay full tuition fees to repeat courses which are not successfully completed or which are repeated voluntarily by the student but do not represent part of the requirements for program completion.

Students paying reduced tuition fees who are also in receipt of OSAP funding may have an OSAP reassessment. Student who have met the Tuition Threshold amount and are paying reduced tuition fees should contact their Financial Aid Officer.
