Continuing Education Withdrawals, Transfers and Refunds
The Department of Continuing Education has a strict policy on refunds for live, correspondence and on-line courses.
Transfers, Substitutions and Withdrawals from Continuing Education Courses
Transfers or substitutions between courses or sections of the same course can only be requested once per student and can only be requested before the start of the course. A signed completed Withdrawal and Transfer Request Form must be submitted to Student Enrolment for all transfers and/or withdrawals. Once a transfer has processed, a student may not subsequently withdrawal from the new course or section and be issued a refund. Unless stated otherwise, transfers & withdrawals are subject to the charges detailed in the table below.
Failures and Re-takes:
No refund will be given if a candidate is unsuccessful in the course. An unsuccessful candidate must register and pay full registration fee in order to re-take the course.

Back to topReceipts & Income Tax
We will issue you a receipt for every continuing education course in which you enroll. This is your confirmation of enrollment and it will be sent to you within five business days of your registration. Please bring it with you, as you may be asked to show it upon entering the building or when borrowing items from the Learning Resource Centre. We strongly suggest you enroll in advance of the registration deadline. If you enroll after the deadline, your receipt may not arrive prior to the start of the course.
Most of Michener's offerings are eligible as income tax deductions, in accordance with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) regulations. We issue receipts for tax purposes every February. You will be sent a receipt for income tax purposes if your total tuition paid to The Michener Institute, including tuition for continuing education courses, exceeds $100 in the prior calendar year. According to CCRA rules, total tuition fees of $100 or less from one institution are not eligible for tax deduction.
Please note that some continuing education tuition fees include materials costs (such as textbooks and reagents). As materials are not tax deductible, your income tax receipt will only reflect the education portion of the tuition. For more information regarding tax regulations, please visit www.cra-arc.gc.ca
There is a $10 administration charge for duplicate or replacement tax receipts
