Freedom of Information

International Fees
Registrants who are not Canadian Citizens or Landed Immigrants will be required to pay course fees based on an international rate. The international rate for a part-time course is calculated at $8.43/hour plus a $0.59 per course hour (up to a maximum of $33) service fee. Material costs are extra and subject to tax.
Materials
A list of materials needed for your course will be mailed upon registration. This list will also indicate any material fees that will be payable to the instructor. Please check the status of your course if you are concerned about the investment in materials.
Prerequisites
Courses are designed for the beginner to the advanced student, unless otherwise indicated. Limited class size allows for individual instruction at each level, providing maximum benefit to all students. Please be sure to check the experience recommendations indicated before you register for a course.
Refund Policy
If We Cancel: When the college finds it necessary to cancel a course, a full refund of fees will be granted. Decisions on course cancellations are made two weeks prior to course start in order to provide fair notice to students and instructors. Notifications are made by telephone – be sure to give us an alternate number to call if possible. Should you wish to transfer to another course, every effort will be made to accommodate you, providing there is space. You will be contacted only in the event of cancellation. We cannot be responsible for travel or accommodation expenses.
If You Cancel: All notifications of cancellation must be received in writing.
If you cancel any time up to 14 days prior to course start, you will receive a full refund less a $25 administrative fee. If you cancel later than 14 days prior to course start, there is no refund of fees. This policy applies in all circumstances due to our commitment to students and instructors two weeks prior to course start. Should you be able to attend a different course within the fiscal year, we would be happy to attempt to accommodate you. Our fax number is (705) 457-2255 and is available 24 hours/day 7 days/week. Notification is also welcomed electronically at contact@HaliburtonSchoolofTheArts.ca
Courses are non-transferable. Transcripts are issued for credit courses, making it imperative that the student registered is the student that attends.
No refunds, partial or whole, will be granted if we receive insufficient written notification.
Register Early!
It is advisable to register as soon as possible. Waiting until the last minute limits your choice of courses and may cause you unnecessary disappointment.
