Transfer Between Courses

Unless otherwise stated on the Confirmation of Registration, the following transfer policy, deadlines and fees apply.

When transferring to a course where the fee is less than the course in which the student originally registered, the student will be reimbursed the difference (minus a transfer fee when applicable). Refunds will be made via the original payment method. A refund by cheque may take two weeks or more to process. Alternatively, a student will be responsible to pay the difference in fees when transferring to a course where the fee is greater than the course in which the student originally registered (plus a transfer fee when applicable).

For courses equal to or greater than 30 hours in length:

  • Requests to transfer out of a course will be allowed prior to the start of the second class session (or, in the case of online courses, prior to seven days following the commencement of the class).
  • If the request to transfer out of a course is received at least 10 days prior to the start date, a transfer fee will not be applied.
  • If the request to transfer out of a course is received less than 10 days before the start date, a $25 transfer fee will be applied.

For courses less than 30 hours in length:

  • Requests to transfer out of a course will be allowed only if received at least 10 days prior to the start date. No transfer fee will be applied.

Failure to return course materials included in the fees—in mint condition—at the time of transfer will result in the cost of the materials being added to the transfer fee.

In some cases the transfer fee may be adjusted to include non-refundable costs incurred by Continuing Education on behalf of the student.

Exceptions to this policy include: full-time, fast-track, professional designation, and Travel Study programs, and others as stated on the confirmation of registration.
