We have various policies in place for music, personal and cultural and professional development workshops, seminars and programs. The general guideline applies to all non-credit courses unless specific program guidelines are outlined.
Full payment is due at registration for all non-credit courses. There is no reduction in tuition for students who join the class late or miss class(es). Payment methods vary by course, but can include cash, cheque, debit, credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express), online and company purchase order.
The professional development certificate programs do allow for multiple payment options, usually one payment at the start and one mid-way through the program. Details are written on the registration forms for each program.
For Children's camps, tax receipts are given to parents/guardians during the last week of the child's camp. The Government of Canada has regulations as to how receipts can be used for tax purposes.
Refunds, or pro-rated refunds, aren't provided to students who miss one or more classes.
The following policies will apply to all adult non-credit courses offered through the Personal and Cultural Enrichment Division, including but not limited to:
Full payment is due at registration. There is no reduction in tuition for students who join the class late or miss class(es). Non-attendance does not constitute official withdrawal. A full refund of the program tuition fee (minus a 15% processing fee for Leisure Learning courses or a $25 processing fee for Conservatory courses) will be issued if requested five business days prior to the beginning of the class. This can be done by phone or in person, but must be confirmed in writing or by email to the College of Extended Learning in Fredericton (extend@unb.ca). Courses are conditional on enrolment. A 100% refund (no processing fee) is issued in the event that a course is cancelled. (Please note: Due to the nature of these courses, courses may be cancelled at short notice.)
Medical Circumstance
For students who are required to discontinue their course/program for medical reasons, a pro-rated amount of the tuition fee will be refunded to the portion of the course/program not yet completed after the withdrawal request is received. All medical requests must be made in writing and be fully supported and documented by a practicing medical physician with the Medical Association. (See UNB Undergraduate Calendar for specific allowable medical reasons.)
Note: For students 15 years and older, HST will be charged.
All Music and French courses are exempt from HST charges.

Open Entry Online Credit Course withdrawals and refunds are governed, in general, by UNB's University-Wide Academic Regulations, as well as the following specific rules:
0-5 CREDIT HOUR COURSES
The following notations on your academic record and refund amounts will apply based on when you email records@unb.ca with your name, UNB ID#, course and term indicating you wish to withdraw.
6 CREDIT HOUR COURSES
The following notations on your academic record and refund amounts will apply based on when you email records@unb.ca with your name, UNB ID#, course and term indicating you wish to withdraw.
Discounts, or a reduced amount of tuition owed by a student, are only offered in limited circumstances.
A limited number of scholarships are available for students in financial need. Parents wishing to obtain a scholarship for a student must apply in writing to the camp director, attaching a letter stating need with the completed application form. Evaluations will be made following the camp deadline.
Families that send two or more children to a summer camp may be entitled to a family discount. Normally, the first child is regular tuition, the second is 5 per cent (5%) off, the third is 10 per cent (10%), and four or more is 15 per cent (15%) each.
Discounts are given to companies who enroll three or more students at a given time for a single course.
Participants may be substituted or transferred from one non-credit course to another if they meet the criteria for acceptance and if the change doesn't affect the decision to cancel the course. The student may be responsible to pay any additional fees that are related to the change.
Participant substitutions may be made at any point prior to the start date of the seminar.
Participant substitutions aren't available for certificate programs that are comprised of several modules. If you are unable to attend the program you may transfer to the next session, subject to the 21-day written notification requirement or your organization may name a replacement candidate. Only one module transfer to another session will be permitted (subject to space availability) without penalty. Each subsequent transfer request has a $200 administration fee.
Guideline on class attendance states:
Students who don't attend class or complete necessary assignments or class requirements will be considered as “non-participating”. Grades or certificate of completion may not be issued if course requirements aren't met.
Most class absences should be worked out between the student and the team lead for the program. Because of the compressed nature of CEL workshops/classes, absence from more than one class may be considered unacceptable for course completion and a student may be required to drop the class.
Medical
In a case where a student misses a workshop or seminar for medical reasons, a note of leave may be requested for continuation in the next module or a refund may be issued.
See the refund and withdrawal guidelines.
If a student misses a class for any reason, he/she can attend another offering of that module at any location in Canada that offers the Schulich courses free of charge. The costs related to attending that seminar are at the discretion of the student (travel, lodging, etc.).
Courses may be cancelled if the minimum enrolment is not met or for various other administrative problems. In the event a cancellation should occur, notice will be given to each participant as quickly as possible.
A full refund will be issued to the participant, or the participant’s payment will be retained by CEL and enrolment in the next offering on the same topic selected by the individual.
If the university is closed due to inclement weather, non-credit classes will also be cancelled that day. Closure notifications are found at unb.ca.
Course participants will be notified of the date and time of the rescheduled classes at the next class or by telephone/email.
