FULL REFUND will be issued if notification* of withdrawal is received 10 or more full business days before the course start date. If the course is cancelled by the University, you will receive a full refund.
50% REFUND will be issued if notification* of withdrawal falls between 6 – 9 full business days before the course start date.

EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCE: The Director of Professional and Continuing Studies (or designate) will review exceptions to the refund policy on an individual basis.
*You can notify us via telephone, email or your online account.
REGISTRATION PROCESS: Registrations are processed in the order that they are received. Please register at least one week prior to the course start date. Some courses fill up quickly while others
may be postponed or cancelled due to insufficient enrolment or circumstances beyond our control.
WITHDRAWAL OF COURSES: Professional and Continuing Studies reserves the right to withdraw, cancel or postpone courses listed in its publications. Should a course be withdrawn, cancelled or postponed, you will receive a full refund of the fees paid and, when applicable, be placed on a callback list for a subsequent offering of that course.
CONFIRMATION: You will receive a confirmation email a few days prior to the start date of your course. Details will include specific class times, building and room numbers, suggestions of what
to bring and directions with a map of the campus. Please be sure to include a phone number where you can be reached day or evening, and email address when registering.
FORM T2202A: T2202As are issued, for qualifying courses attended in a year, by 28 February of the following year. A student enrolled in a credit program at RRU will receive a single, consolidated T2202A. A student enrolled only in qualifying PCS courses in a year will receive a T2202A via the email address on file.
Please Note: Form T2202A reports only the tuition paid and the number of months the student is enrolled in a qualifying educational program; it does not provide assurance that the student is eligible
for the tuition, education or textbook credit or for a scholarship exemption, nor does it provide assurance that the student is eligible to participate in the Lifelong Learning Plan. Each student must determine if he or she is eligible for these tax incentives according to his or her own circumstances. For further details, refer to the resource material located on Canada Revenue Agency’s web site for students or consult your tax advisor.
GST/PST REQUIREMENTS AND EXEMPTIONS:
All courses are subject to applicable taxes unless exempt by CRA policy. If you or your company are tax exempt, we require a statement requesting exemption on company letterhead to accompany your registration and payment.
CAMPUS ACCESSIBILITY: Please note that two
of our heritage buildings, including Hatley Castle, have areas that are not easily accessible to persons who use wheelchairs. Please call the Professional and Continuing Studies office at 250.391.2513 for more information and assistance before registering.
CHANGES IN PROGRAMS OF STUDY AND/OR COURSES: The programs of study that our calendar lists and describes are available for the year(s) to which the calendar applies. They may not necessarily be available in later years. If the university must change the content of programs of study or withdraw them, all reasonable possible advance notice
and alternative instruction will be given where possible. The university reserves the right to change or alter the content of courses, instructors and instructional assignments, enrolment limitations, and prerequisites. The university will not, however, be liable for any loss, damages or other expenses that such changes might cause.
ENROLMENT LIMITATIONS: The university makes every reasonable effort to project and plan enrolment to strike a practicable balance between available instructional resources and quality instruction.
At times the number of students exceeds the instructional resources that we can reasonably make available and in such cases, we must reserve the right to limit enrolment in the programs or courses listed
in the calendar and to withdraw courses for which enrolment or resources are insufficient. In the event of a course becoming full, the student may indicate an interest in being placed on a waitlist and/or on
a callback list for a future offering of that course. The University will not be liable for any loss, damages, or other expenses that such limitations or withdrawals might cause.
FEES AND OTHER CHARGES: The university reserves the right to alter the fees and other charges described in the calendar and on the website. The University will not be liable for any loss, damages
or other expenses that such changes might cause.
REGULATIONS AND POLICIES: In registering for study, the student assumes certain responsibilities to the University and, if registered, shall be subject to all rules, regulations and policies for students
as amended from time to time. University rules, regulations and policies are available for review
on our website. We reserve the right to deny any registration where appropriate. Professional and Continuing Studies at Royal Roads welcomes everyone 18 years and older (and in those courses designed for all ages, children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult), on an open admission basis.
EMERGENCY UNIVERSITY CLOSINGS: Bulletins of emergency closings due to poor weather conditions are available by calling the Security office at 250.391.2525 or checking the website at www. royalroads.ca.
