Professional Development FAQs

Before the course starts:

Application Registration and Confirmation

Q: How soon before the course starts can I apply?

A: You can register by mail or by fax using the application form up to a week before your class begins. We strongly recommend early application, as space is limited to 20 students per class.

Q: How will I know when my application has been received?

A: Once your application form has been received an Admissions Officer will contact you to verify your information and answer ensure you have all the requirements for the course. A letter confirming your application will also be mailed to you.

Q. When will I receive my schedule, book and uniform information?

A. Two weeks prior to the beginning of classes we will hold a registration period. Students will receive a letter informing them of the dates and contact information to arrange a registration appointment. At this time, you will be required to bring any outstanding documents indicated in your letter, confirm your mode of payment for the course and receive all information necessary to begin studies at Elmcrest College (books, policies, schedule etc).

Q. What are the academic requirements for part-time programs?

A. Requirements for all part-time studies (except Thai Massage) are the same as full-time studies. Students must possess proof of OSSD or equivalent or receive a passing score on the CTBS and participate in an in-person or telephone interview with an Admissions Officer.

Cancellation

Q: What if I register for a course, but then can't attend?

A: If you need to withdraw from your course, Elmcrest College will give you a complete refund (minus the $100 application fee) if you cancel before your course begins. To withdraw, please inform the Admissions Office at 416-630-6300. You will be required to submit your official withdrawal in writing. If you withdraw from a course after classes have begun, you will be liable to a penalty as per the agreement outlined at your registration appointment.
