Once signed, a copy of the form is submitted to the Campus Director; the student keeps the original.

The student and the Campus Director will sign the declaration.

Review Process

If a student’s appeal is successful and he/she is eventually reinstated as part of the internal college or Ministry appeal processes, then the college will arrange for the student to make up the training time that he/she had missed since the date of expulsion specified in the written notification.

Fees

Settlement of student’s accounts, for students that have been expelled, will be completed under the College’s Fee Refund Policy, using the effective date of expulsion as the final day of attendance in their program of study.
