Refund Policy

We understand that plans can sometimes change. If you need to cancel your enrollment, here is a detailed explanation of how tuition fee refunds and deferrals work at Olds College of Information & Technology.

✅ Tuition Refund Eligibility

That there will be Tuition Fee Refund only in the following conditions:

  1.  If you cancel your admission within four months before the program begins and provide proof that your Study Permit application was rejected.

  2. If you cancel your admission within four months before the program begins and provide proof that your Study Permit application has not been processed yet.

If you meet these two conditions, you can request a refund for the tuition fees and deposit you have paid. Please note that a $300 CAD processing fee will be deducted from your refund.

❌ Non-Refundable Situations

Your tuition deposit and any first-term tuition or fees that you have paid will not be refunded under the following conditions:

  • You have already been issued a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) by the college. Once this letter is issued, your fees become non-refundable regardless of your study permit status.

  • You cancel your admission less than four months before your program start date and do not provide proof that your Study Permit was denied or is still in process.

  • You cancel your admission after your Study Permit has already been approved. At this stage, it is assumed you are ready to attend, and cancellation does not qualify for a refund.

  • You do not inform the college of your cancellation before the program begins. If you fail to notify the college ahead of time and simply do not show up, you will not receive any refund.

These rules apply to all international students, and no exceptions will be made in the situations listed above.

* Deferral Policy (Postponing Your Admission)

If you cannot start your studies on the scheduled date, you may be able to defer (delay) your enrollment to a future intake, but certain conditions apply:

  • You are allowed to defer your admission only once. Multiple deferrals are not permitted.

  • You may only defer if your Study Permit has not been denied. If your permit was rejected, deferral is not an option—you must reapply for admission.

  • Your deferral request must be submitted before your program start date. If you wait until after the program has started, you will not be eligible for a deferral.

If approved, your tuition and deposit will be carried forward to the new intake.

 

Other Terms & Conditions
  • Validity of Information and Documents: You affirm that all information and copies of documents provided are valid, authentic, and up to date.
  • Application Fee: The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances.
  • LOA Deposit: The Letter of Acceptance (LOA) deposit is refundable only if your study permit application is refused. If you fail to submit your visa application and request a refund of your LOA deposit, the college reserves the right to deny the refund.
  • Accuracy of LOA Information: You must ensure that all information on the LOA is accurate, as it will be reflected on your Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL). Once issued, the details on the PAL cannot be changed.
  • Email Communications: You are responsible for checking your email regularly for deadline notifications. Failure to do so may result in automatic removal from the intake, and your LOA deposit will not be refunded.
  • Visa Submission Recommendation: We strongly recommend submitting your visa application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at least three (3) months before the program start date. This aligns with college guidelines and supports refund requests in the event of visa refusal.
  • GCKey Account Monitoring: You should monitor your GCKey account regularly and promptly inform the college of any updates to ensure timely actions (e.g., class registration, refund processing).
  • Post-Registration Matters: Once you are registered at the institution, any withdrawal, tuition refund, or related issue becomes a direct matter between you and the institution; the agent cannot intervene.
  • Tuition Refund Period: You acknowledge that most colleges enforce a maximum 90-day period for processing tuition fee refunds.
  • Post-Graduation Work Permit: Subject to immigration regulations, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years upon successful completion of your study program. For details, please visit: Eligibility details.
  • Change of Agent or Institution: You agree not to change your education agent or institution after your study visa has been granted or after any tuition fees have been paid.
  • Immigration Regulation Changes: You acknowledge that immigration policies and procedures may change beyond our control. We cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect impact such changes may have on your admission.
  • Legal Standing: You confirm that there are no legal cases pending against you in any court of law in your home country or abroad.
