It is a fundamental condition of Maple Hill School (“School” or “we”, “us” or “our”) agreement with students to offer an opportunity to attend and participate in an Educational Program. The School shall not be liable for losses or expenses a student may incur as a result of the School being unable to provide an Educational Program, or any delay or interruption in the Educational Program, that arises out of or is caused, directly or indirectly, by natural disasters or other causes beyond our control.

In the event of a disruption or delay in an Educational Program, the School will make reasonable efforts to resume delivery of the Educational Program as soon as we can do so safely and in accordance with legal requirements. We reserve the right to facilitate delivery by making changes to the Educational Program, such as by delivering the services by alternative means.

Program Fees excluding non-refundable fees will only be refunded if the Educational Program in which the student is enrolled is cancelled by the School prior to its commencement. If the School decides to cancel the Educational Program after its commencement, refunds will be issued for the portion of the Educational Program not delivered, which shall be calculated pro-rata. Refunds will not be granted to the student who provides notice of withdrawal prior to the cancellation by the School.

The refund policy and refund request procedure are in effect from the moment a student has paid tuition fees to Maple Hill School until the student officially withdraws from our program. If there is any conflict between these procedures and the terms of your Agreement with the School, the terms of the Agreement will govern.

All refund requests must be submitted in writing with all relevant and supporting documents listed on the Refund Request Procedure and Form by the last day of the intended Educational Program. Additional documentation may be requested in order to assess a refund request. The refund policy and request procedures may change from time to time, and amendments will be effective when posted. The following refund policy will apply to all students.

1. Refunds are not available for administrative fees that are paid to the School for receiving and processing a student’s application and enrollment, for a homestay placement or for making arrangements for the student’s reception or orientation in the School (“Non-Refundable Fees”). The Non-Refundable Fees, when applicable, include:
   1. Application Fee
   2. Homestay Placement Fee
   3. Custodianship Fee
2. If the School has collected any amounts from students that have been paid or are payable to third parties (including but not limited to, medical insurance, fees, taxes), then any available refunds will depend on the policies of the third party and whether payment of the monies is forgiven or refundable by the third party.
3. Students are required to enroll in medical insurance. Students new to British Columbia are not immediately eligible to enroll in MSP and must have medical insurance to cover the gap in coverage until they are able to enroll in MSP. The student is responsible for paying insurance fees. The student is responsible for additional insurance coverage should they stay in British Columbia beyond the duration of their Educational Program in British Columbia. The School is not responsible for any loss or damage suffered by the student as a result of failure to maintain adequate insurance.
4. The School will receive and consider requests for refund of fees, other than Non-Refundable Fees and $250 administration fee, where the Student’s initial study permit and/or entry visa is not approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), provided that the refusal is not due to the Student’s delay or failure to apply sufficiently in advance of the commencement of their Educational Program and subject to the Student providing satisfactory supporting documentation. The student must submit a copy of the original IRCC letter of denial, a copy of the initial study permit and/or entry visa application, and the Letter of Acceptance issued by Maple Hill School.
5. If the School determines that a refund is appropriate, we reserve the right to reduce the amount of tuition fee refunded to offset our own costs including the loss of any staff time or resources arising from a student withdrawal. Generally, reduction in amount of Tuition refunded will be as follows:
   1. One half (1/2) of Tuition Fee if a study permit extension and/or re-entry visa is not approved by IRCC.
   2. One-half (1/2) of Tuition Fee if the student in their first year of study in Maple Hill School withdraws from the program, for any reason, prior to the commencement of their Educational Program.
   3. One-half (1/2) of Tuition Fee if for any reason the returning student withdraws from their subsequent Educational Program prior to May 30th (September intake) or October 31st (January intake). No refunds will be provided after these dates.
   4. No refund of Tuition Fee regardless of the reason, if the student withdraws after the student has applied and received the letter of acceptance.
   5. No refund of Tuition Fee regardless of the reason, if the student withdraws after the commencement of their Educational Program.
   6. No refund of the Tuition Fee if the student is suspended or expelled from their Educational Program or required to withdraw due to their own inappropriate behavior, such as where the student fails to comply with the terms and conditions of their Educational Program, the School Code of Conduct, or any applicable laws or the rules, policies or procedures of the School or our homestay program.
6. No refund of the Tuition Fee if the student is removed from their Educational Program because information provided in their application for enrollment is determined by the School to be false or misleading, including undisclosed illness, medical or mental health conditions or undisclosed educational needs.
7. No refund of the Tuition Fee when the student withdraws after receiving permission to defer their Educational Program. Deferral requests must be received and approved prior to the Student’s Educational Program commencement date. The student can request a Deferral to the subsequent intake date one time only.
8. No refund of the Tuition Fee if the Student and the parent/legal guardian with whom they reside become “ordinarily resident” in British Columbia (within the meaning of the British Columbia School Act) the payment of the Tuition Fee.
9. In case of sudden closure of school, all tuition fees and deposits will be reimbursed to students.
