Semester Fee Adjustments

Refund Policy

EBC allows students to withdraw from courses after they have registered. However, they will be charged an administration fee. Refunds are calculated on a percentage basis, in accordance with guidelines established by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, based on the proportion of the course(s) completed. *Students who receive OSAP funding and withdraw from a course, may be reassessed by OSAP and any refund will be issued to the National Student Loans Centre. Below is a schedule showing the refund owing proportional to the total:

Refund Factors for Each Semester

Withdrawal From Residence

No refunds for room costs are given. A pro-rated refund for food costs – 1/3 of the cost per week – will be issued to a student with certified medical evidence that the student is unable to live in the EBC residence for a minimum of two weeks. To receive this refund the student (or student’s guardian if the student is under 18 or medically unable to provide the written request) must make a written request to the Associate Dean of Students.

Students are eligible to withdraw from the residence between the Fall and Winter semesters if they have given 30 days notice in writing to the Associate Dean of Students and if they fit into one of the following categories:

  1. he/she has medical certification they are not able to live in the residence
  2. he/she will be getting married during the following semester
  3. he/she will no longer be a student at Emmanuel Bible College

In such a situation the student will not be required to pay room or food costs for the Winter semester.

Any other requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Associate Dean of Students prior to September 1st of the given year.

A limited fund has been made available by the college to provide special assistance to students encountering serious financial problems during the course of their programs. Application forms are available from the Dean of Student Life or from the Forms Download page. Government financial assistance may be available for those Bible College students who qualify in the province in which they hold permanent residence.

Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)

Students enrolled in the MountainTop Certificate Program, the Diploma in Biblical Studies, the Bachelor of Religious Education or the Bachelor of Theology program may be eligible, if qualified, for assistance under one or more of the following components of the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP): the Canada Student Loans Program (CSL); the Ontario Student Loans Program (OSL).

For Ontario residents, application forms for OSAP may be obtained on the internet using http://osap.gov.on.ca. Please contact the Business Office for an information sheet “Applying for OSAP – Facts You Should Know”.

To ensure a completed assessment, students should apply on-line to OSAP at least 10-12 weeks prior to registration day with all required information.

Supporting documents must be submitted to EBC for verification.

A student receiving funding through OSAP, and failing to comply with the Active Student Participation Policy for five consecutive days of his/her scheduled classes (without valid and documented reason), will be considered to have withdrawn from the program and will no longer be eligible for OSAP funding.
