For individuals registered for courses, fees must be paid by the first day of class.
Fees can be paid by either of the following methods:
Applicants can use the Marine Institute Letter of Acceptance to approach various funding sources such as banks, etc. The Newfoundland and Labrador provincial government Department of Advanced Education and Skills (AES) is the most common agency to contact if an applicant is EI eligible. A list of provincial AES Employment Centres can be found here.
It is advisable that the applicant seeking funding from funding sources start the process when first applying to the program, as funding approval can be a lengthy process.
Application deadlines for short courses for funding through the Department of Advanced Education and Skills are 4 weeks before courses begin, except for courses beginning in September, which require applications 6 weeks in advance. It is advisable that applicants contact their local AES Office to discuss deadlines, as policies may change.
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.
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:
This policy applies to all community-based students including those receiving assistance from sponsoring agencies.
