Fee Payment
Course fees must be paid at the time of registration. No participant is allowed to attend class without having paid the full course fee or without proper billing authorization. Registered students are ultimately responsible for payment of fees, regardless of authorization for third-party invoicing. Metro is unable to accept post dated cheques. Cheques returned due to “non-sufficient funds” (NSF) will be subject to a $25 service fee and will result in cancellation of the registration. For all fees paid by cash or cheque, refunds may take up to four weeks to process through Edmonton Public Schools Financial Services.
Cancellations
Metro reserves the right to cancel any class where difficulties arise in staffing or scheduling or where a minimum enrolment is not achieved. A full refund will be issued for all canceled classes.
