Payment and refund policy

Payment Options:

Toronto Science Academy accepts the following methods of payment:

  • Credit Card

  • Wire Transfer

  • PayPal

Note: All payments must be made in Canadian dollars. Other currencies will not be accepted.

Graduation Packages (Ontario Secondary School Diploma Program):

Payment Options:

  • Full Installment: Students and parents can pay the entire tuition in one full installment at the time of registration.

  • Two Separate Installments: Alternatively, students can pay in two separate installments. The first installment is due at the time of registration, and the second installment is due two months after registration.

Individual Courses 

Payment Options:

  • Students interested in purchasing individual courses rather than enrolling in a diploma program, the full amount must be paid in one installment at the time of registration.

Course Extensions:

Students who need additional time to complete their course(s) beyond the scheduled 4-month period may request a 1-month extension. An extension fee of CDN $200 will apply, and no refund of the course extension fee will be provided once purchased.


Refund Policy:

To be eligible for a refund, students must submit a formal withdrawal email and fill out the withdrawal form before the deadline for refund eligibility. Our refund policy is designed to address various scenarios:

Individual Course Withdrawal within 10 Calendar Days of Enrollment:

  • Students who withdraw within the initial 10 calendar days from their course start date qualify for a complete monetary refund, excluding the CDN $200 admission and application fee.

  • After the initial 10 calendar days, no refund will be issued.

Note: Course start dates are determined by the Toronto Science Academy administration with consideration of the student’s registration date and the payment date. This information will be included in the student’s welcome package.

Graduation Packages Withdrawal within 10 Calendar Days of Enrollment:

  • Students who withdraw within the initial 10 calendar days from their program start date qualify for a complete monetary refund, excluding the CDN $500 admission and application fee.

  • After the initial 10 calendar days, no refund will be issued.

Note: Program start dates are determined by the Toronto Science Academy administration with consideration of the student’s registration date and the payment date. This information will be included in the student’s welcome package.

Note: If a graduation package student requires or wants to take more than 8 courses there will be an additional surcharge of $900/course.

Discounts:

If a discount or promotion is applied to any tuition fees, it may not be used together with another discount or promotion. In the event of a refund of tuition fees, only the discounted amount will be refunded.

Course Failures:

  • Students who fail to achieve a minimum grade of 50% will not be awarded credit for the course and will not receive refunds for course/program fees, including non-refundable admission and application fees. Students may enroll in the TSA credit recovery program for up to 2 courses or re-enroll in the failed courses after approval from the TSA Administration. Students are obligated to make a full tuition payment for failed courses, whether they were initially enrolled in a diploma program or an individual course.

Dismissal from Course or Program Due to Violation of School Policies:

  • Students who violate the Toronto Science Academy Policies, including the Code of Conduct, may be dismissed from their course or diploma program at any time. In such cases, no tuition refunds or credits will be issued. 


TSA reserves the right to amend this Payment and Refund Policy as needed. Students are encouraged to review this policy before enrolling in any courses or programs offered by Toronto Science Academy.
