Registration: Pre-course registration is essential. Registrations are accepted on a first come, first served basis. It is recommended that you register early as classes fill quickly.

Fees: Fees must be paid at the time of registration. Look for our early bird registration fee which will enable you to save money. Both fees are listed with the course description.

Class Cancellations:

Community Programs reserves the right to cancel courses when the enrollment is too low to make running the course feasible. Participants who have registered in courses will be given a full refund of fees paid, or may transfer fees in the same term. Please allow four to six weeks for cheques to be processed after course cancellation.

Refunds: Students withdrawing from a course must give at least two working days notice before course commencement in order

to receive a refund. All refunds requested by a student are levied a 15% administration fee. Refunds will be mailed or credited to your method of payment. Please allow four to six weeks for processing.

Transfer: Students requesting a transfer from one class to another will be charged a 10% administration fee, providing it is done before classes start. Transfers will not be allowed once classes have begun.
