Attendance Policy
  • If you are in class, you are marked “present”.
  • If you arrive more than 1 minute after class has started, you are marked “late”.
  • If you are not in class, you are marked “absent”.
  • If you are sick on the day of a unit test or presentation, you must give a doctor’s note to your teacher. Your teacher will allow you to re-do the assignment/test. You will still be marked absent for the days missed.
  • You must attend more than 80% of classes in order to pass the term. 

Students who miss four or more EAP terms must take the CAEL placement test, or provide an IELTS or TOEFL score to determine the correct level for them to study in. According to Acadia’s admission policies, IELTS or TOEFL scores must be no more than 12 months old at the time of registration to be accepted.

Refund Policy

Students qualify for a full refund of pre-paid tuition if they have been denied authorization to study in Canada and provide documentation from the proper Canadian authority stating that their application to study in Canada was denied.

Students who notify Acadia University ELC in writing of their withdrawal before the program start date are eligible for an 80% refund of the tuition fees paid.

No refunds will be issued after the program start date.
