Holland College Fee and Refund Policy Summary

(refer to Administrative Regulations 50-03-2 and 50-03-3 for full details)

Application Fees
Non-refundable and must be submitted with the application.

Confirmation Fees
When applicants are accepted to a program they must forward a confirmation fee in order to confirm their
attendance and hold their seat. The confirmation fee is credited toward the tuition cost. Domestic applicants who
officially notify the College of the decision to cancel their seat in a program prior to program commencement are
eligible for a refund of the confirmation fee as follows:

 50% of the confirmation fee will be refunded up to thirty (30) days prior to the start date of the program.
 No refund of the confirmation fee will be granted within less than 30 days before the start date of the
program.
 Students accepted less than 30 days prior to the start date of the program will be eligible for a refund of
50% of the confirmation fee, to the end of the last working day prior to start date.

International Students
When international applicants are accepted to a program they must forward a confirmation fee of $500 (CAD) in
order to confirm their attendance and hold their seat. The confirmation fee and the international student fee
($3,250 CAD) are not refundable unless the applicant has been denied a Study Permit from Citizenship and
Immigration Canada (CIC). A copy of the letter of refusal from CIC must be received by the College within sixty
(60) days of the issued date of the letter. Once the refusal letter has been received by Holland College a refund
may be processed. At the time of registration, international applicants will also be charged an International
Student Medical Fee, and a Health and Dental Fee. International students may choose to purchase their own
Health and Dental insurance. In order to opt out of the Health and Dental Fee, at the time of registration students
must provide a copy of adequate health and dental insurance that is acceptable to the College (Health and Dental
Insurance for International Students purchased from a Canadian provider.) In order to opt out of the International
Student Medical Fee, students must provide a valid Province of PEI Health Card.

Tuition Fees
Certain programs at Holland College are offered on a program year basis, not a semester system. A listing of
those programs offered on a program basis and those on a course basis is attached.

A full time student is defined as anyone who is enrolled for a minimum of 15 hours per week that span a semester,
or enrolled in three or more credit courses that have a minimum combined credit value of nine credits that span a
semester.

For programs offered on a program basis, tuition in full is due from the start date of the program. For

Over 
convenience, students are expected to pay sixty percent (60%) of tuition/lab fees before the start date of the
program and forty percent (40%) on or before the first day of the second half of the program. If a student chooses
not to return any time after sixty (60) calendar days from the commencement of the program, the student is
responsible for the full year program fees.

For programs offered on a course basis, tuition is based on the number of enrolled courses taken each semester,
and tuition in full is due before the start of each semester.

All other fees are due and payable upon program commencement. These include student union dues and other
amounts which may be applicable to certain programs.

When a student loan application is in process, an extension for payment of fees may be granted, upon request, by
the student for up to four weeks.

All overdue accounts are subject to interest charges and a late payment fee of $50.

Refunds to students will be granted under the following conditions:

 A student exits the program within sixty (60) calendar days after the day of start date of the program.
