All courses are subject to minimum enrollment requirements. If there is a cancellation, course fees will be reimbursed.
If you are a teacher and have a Tuition Fee Certificate, you can use the certificate to register as a non-credit participant for the Summer Institutes. The certificate only covers the cost of the institute fee, it does not cover the cost of course materials or any other fees. Most programs are 3-credits, so if you Tuition Fee Certificate is less than 3-credits you will need to pay the difference. For more information, contact Jeanette Hansen (604-822-2013).
