Withdrawals
The above tuition refunds apply to all withdrawals
If a student contract is terminated after the vocational training begins, the Institution is entitled to the tuition refunds stated above.
There are 3 ways a student will be considered withdrawn:
a) 3 Consecutive unexcused absences, withdrawal by Academia - Students must attend classes on a regular basis. Should the student not attend 3 consecutive classes without notifying their instructor or their facilitator, that student is deemed academically inactive. Their status must be reported to Student Aid or IRCC (Immigration & Refugee Citizenship Canada - for International students). Should a report be made that the student is no longer attending classes, it may affect the status of their student loan or their student visa with IRCC.
b) Withdrawal by student - Should the student decide to terminate their contract with the Institution of their own volition, for whatever reason, a Withdrawal Form needs to be filled out and signed by the student. Download & fill out the document below and send it to studentsupport@aga-academy.ca.
