There are no tuition refunds as a lot of administration goes into establishing the student account, enrolling the student into the course, contacting the teacher, contacting the school, etc. In an extremely rare case, there may be a refund returned to the student within three days of the original enrolment. In such a case, there will be a $125 administration processing fee applied to the refund. The decision of the Principal will be considered final in all cases involving requests for refund. A student who has not completed an assessment nor an evaluation in the course and who wishes to withdraw from the course must notify Virtual High School (Ontario) within seven days of enrolment. A student requesting withdrawal will receive a course credit minus a $125 administration processing fee. The course credit must be applied to a subsequent course within one year of the original registration. Only one course credit will be granted per original enrolment. The decision of the Principal will be considered final in all cases involving student requests for withdrawal. While the student is allowed to move through their course at their own pace, Virtual High School (Ontario) reserves the right to unenroll any student from their course if the student goes for a prolonged period of time without logging into the course or if the student goes for a long period of time without completing any evaluation in their course. The decision of the Principal will be considered final in all cases involving student unenrollment. Tuition refund policies, course credit policies and student enrollment policies may be modified at any time at the Virtual High School (Ontario) website. The use of Virtual High School (Ontario) courses indicates that the student accepts these tuition refund policies, course credit policies and student enrollment policies.
