How do I obtain sponsorship for a course?
Applicants can use the Marine Institute Letter of Acceptance to approach various funding sources (e.g. Banks, Service Canada). It is advisable that the applicant seeking funding from funding sources starts the process when first applying to the program, as funding approval can be a lengthy process.
How do I know if I am accepted for a course?
Upon submission of a completed application including all required documentation, a "Letter of Acceptance" shall be issued by the Marine Institute Office of the Registrar noting the location and date of the course as well as providing further instructions and information regarding registration.
Applicants will be confirmed for a particular offering of a particular course on a first-come first-served basis, based upon the date that an individual's application is complete and he or she is approved to register. That is, on the date that the Marine Institute receives all documents and fees.
The Marine Institute requires a minimum number of applicants in order to deliver a specific offering and the minimum numbers vary depending on the course. If the minimum number of applicants have not been approved to register, the offering will be cancelled and all applicants will be notified.
What is the Marine Institute's refund policy?
Students are charged for the cost of tuition fees on either the first day of classes or registration day, whichever is later. Students are responsible for all charges on their account. That is, once a student registers, tuition fees are considered due. Cancellation of these charges for students who discontinue will be provided according to the Marine Institute's refund policy as follows:
In the first 5 days of classes 100% refund
6 class days to 8 class days 50% refund
9 class days to 11 class days 25% refund
12 class days and beyond no refund
No refund for programs 3 weeks or less
This policy applies to all community-based students including those receiving assistance from sponsoring agencies.
