Cancellations

Metro reserves the right to cancel any course. A full refund will be issued for all courses cancelled by Metro. Refunds take up to four weeks for processing through Edmonton Public Schools Financial Services.

Withdrawals

If you submit a withdrawal form before the start of the second class of a course, all tuition and textbook fees will be refunded. The $40 program fee is non-refundable. If you submit a withdrawal form before the start of the fourth class of a course, you may apply for a full credit towards taking a course next semester OR a 50% refund of the tuition fees. The $40 program fee and the $30 textbook rental fee are non-refundable. No credits or refunds will be issued after the start of the fourth class of a course. Course credits or refunds will only be processed once your textbooks are returned. Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal. Refunds may take up to four weeks to process.
