Before enrolling at St. Catherine Academy, all students should review these Terms and Conditions carefully. By signing the Registration Form (either online or in person), students and/or guardians agree to these policies, forming a binding contract with St. Catherine Academy. Enrollment implies agreement with all academy policies stated here and on our website.
Signing the St. Catherine Academy Registration Form creates a binding agreement for the student's entire course of studies, including any additional courses added later. Students are required to provide an updated school transcript to verify all course prerequisites. If prerequisites are not met, the Academy may modify or cancel the course. By signing, students confirm that the information provided is accurate and agree to abide by the Code of Conduct and guidelines in the Course Calendar.
To withdraw from a course, a student must submit a written cancellation request within one week of registration. For students under 18, a parent or guardian's approval is required. Once processed, students will receive an updated receipt, which is needed for any potential refund. Not attending a course does not constitute a formal withdrawal, and students will remain liable for fees on all registered courses.
Refunds for dropped courses are available only before the first session. After the first session, no refunds will be issued. Refund requests must include the original receipt. In cases where the Academy cancels or modifies a course, refunds are issued based on remaining hours.
International students seeking a visa through St. Catherine Academy will receive a refund only if the visa is denied. A non-refundable $500 administration fee will be retained. The following fees are also non-refundable:
Refund requests must be accompanied by official visa denial documentation. Students who obtain a visa are required to complete their studies at the Academy. Students transferring to another institution are responsible for one academic year’s full fees.
Refunds for online courses are issued only if the welcome package, course materials, or platform access have not been provided. Students are responsible for all outstanding fees, regardless of attendance.
Tutoring sessions must be prepaid 24 hours in advance, with a minimum of two hours per session unless otherwise agreed. Tutoring takes place on campus, and unused hours are refundable with a $50 administration fee, provided the student notifies the Academy at least 24 hours before the session. Missed or late sessions without prior notice are non-refundable.
Textbooks can be purchased for $130 each from the Academy or external vendors. Books returned in good condition at semester’s end may be eligible for buyback at $100. Partial buyback may be offered for damaged books, subject to condition; heavily damaged books are non-returnable.
Assignments are to be submitted on or before the due date. Late submissions must include a written explanation and be handed in before graded assignments are returned to the class. Late work without prior approval will receive a grade of zero.
Students are responsible for catching up on assignments and tests missed due to valid absences. Missed presentations without a legitimate reason will result in a grade of zero.
For Grades 11 and 12, all enrolled courses must be completed. Withdrawals after three days following the midterm reports will be recorded on the Ontario Student Transcript (OST).
The Academy provides access to at least 15 computers, with internet usage restricted to educational and research purposes only.
Regular attendance and academic honesty are required. Inappropriate behaviors, including but not limited to abuse, bullying, or discrimination, are strictly prohibited.
Attendance is mandatory. Parents and guardians are encouraged to ensure that absences are necessary and valid.
All course updates, schedule changes, and cancellations are posted on our website. Please check www.st-catherineacademy.com regularly for the latest information.
