Third Party Payments and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act
In accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, employees of Emily Carr are not permitted to provide a student’s personal information to anyone other than the student without the written consent of the student.We require the signed submission of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Release Form before requests for information by a third party will be answered. This includes information on tuition and tax forms relevant to a specific student. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
Tuition Fee Deferrals
Tuition fee deferral applications are available at Financial Services for students with extenuating circumstances. The application for tuition fee deferral must be submitted to Financial Services and approved by the published tuition deadlines. It is recommended that students who require a deferral contact Financial Services as soon as the term commences.
Past Due Accounts and Deregistration
If students have not paid their fees in full by the published deadline, they will be de-registered from all courses. Students who have been de-registered are still responsible for the tuition fees assessed. Upon being de-registered all privileges and access to Emily Carr will be revoked and:
- a $50.00 late fee will be applied to the student's record;
- a restriction will be placed on the student's record prohibiting future registrations and transcript requests until the restriction is removed;
- the student's card will be deactivated;
- locks will be cut and the contents removed from the student's locker.
Students may appeal de-registration by submitting a written request to the Registrar's Office for consideration. If reinstated, students must provide full payment for tuition, the late fee, and a $50.00 reinstatement fee. There is no guarantee that the student will be reinstated in their original class choices.
Tuition Refunds
Students who have a credit on their account after the tuition deadline will have the credit held on their account for the following term unless the student requests a refund. Refunds for tuition payments made by a third party credit card, for example a parent or guardian's card, will be processed back onto the credit card used to make the payment.
