Policy for completing distance courses internationally on a temporary basis
Distance education courses are available to students who reside in Canada. We understand that extenuating circumstances occasionally occur, and in these cases students are required to inform the School (via their academic advisor) prior to any changes in living circumstances which may necessitate moving out of the country.
For students who need to temporarily reside outside of
Canada due to extenuating circumstances, conditional
permission to continue in courses may be granted on a
non-precedent setting basis, with the following
conditions outlined by the school:
1) The student will take full responsibility for
all contacts with the School as the School is not able to
absorb costs of overseas telephone or teleconference
calls, or international postage.
2) The student will take full responsibility for
obtaining all required course materials on time and is
responsible for all costs related to obtaining these
course materials. The student must contact the Bookstore
directly with any questions related to shipping of
materials.
3) A Canadian mailing address must be provided to
the School. All mailed correspondence from the School,
including return of graded assignments, would be sent to
the student's Canadian mailing address only.
4) The student will require access to a computer
and reliable high speed internet and will be expected to
participate fully in online components of the course(s).
5) In granting permission to take courses while
residing outside of Canada, the School will not be
responsible for any delays in mail or electronic receipt
of feedback from instructors that might ultimately affect
the student's ability to apply/integrate instructor
feedback in subsequent assignments.
The student is required to email their advisor with
a brief note confirming that they are in agreement with
the aforementioned conditions.
