 1.0 REGULATIONS GOVERNING PAYMENT OF FEES & CHARGES

1. All Student fees must be paid by the date specified in each term. The dates are listed in the Calendar of Events. Learners receiving Student Aid must present their notification of Student Aid form at registration. These learners are permitted to have fees outstanding after registration. Upon receipt of the Student Aid, these learners must pay their accounts in full.
   
   
2. Students who have not paid all fees within the time limits given in these regulations may have their registration cancelled by the College.
   
   
3. Students with outstanding accounts will be ineligible for a subsequent term, will not be awarded a diploma or certificate, and will not be issued a certificate of standing (transcript), grade report, or access to on-line grades until the outstanding account has been paid in full. Students are notified of their account status on a regular basis. It is the student’s responsibility to address outstanding balances and to correct any problems.
   
   
4. Should the College cancel a program, all tuition and fees paid will be refunded.
   
   
5. Continuous intake students, registering or withdrawing within a term, will pay a prorated tuition and equipment and materials fee per week.
   
   
6. Senior Citizens, 60 years and older, are required to pay 50% of applicable fees.
   
   
7. Distributed Learning (DLS):
   
   Some campuses offer programs that do not have all courses delivered in the classroom - some courses in the program are offered by DLS. Students enrolled in these programs are therefore required to do courses via DLS because the offering is not available on site. These students will pay the regular program tuition fees. No additional DLS tuition fee nor technology fee will be charged.
   
   However, additional tuition and technology fees will be charged, under the following circumstances
   
   
   
   

1. Any student electing to do a DL course over and above their normal term load (requires application to extend normal course load per semester).
   
   
2. Any student choosing to do an elective through DL instead of the electives offered on-campus will be required to pay the course tuition fee and the DL technology fee for that course.
   
   
3. Any student electing to repeat courses through DLS which was previously taken on campus or via DLS.
   
   
4. Any student electing to do a DL course instead of an identical on-campus course.
   
   
5. Any student electing to repeat courses through DL which were previously taken on campus or via DL.

In some instances, students may enroll in a program through the Office of Distributed Learning that may require them to attend on-campus to complete the required course. In this case, the student will pay the regular program tuition fees to DL andnot pay an additional on-campus tuition fee per course. Students pay the DL technology fee for online courses only.

However, an additional tuition fee per course will be charged under the following circumstances:

1. Any student electing to do an on-campus course over and above their normal DL term load (requires application to extend normal course load per semester).
   
   
2. Any student choosing to do an elective on-campus instead of the electives offered through DL.
   
   
3. Any student electing to do an on-campus course instead of an identical DL course.
   
   
4. Any student electing to repeat courses on-campus which were previously taken on-campus or via DL.
