Privacy

Academy of Learning Career College will limit the collection, use and disclosure of students’ personal information to the extent required to conduct business and to provide on-going services to them. This information is confidential and is only issued to a third party with students’ written authorization or where students are funded by a government agency.


Refresher Privileges

Graduates are welcome to return to the college they attended after completion of their courses to refresh and review their course material, as long as they have already passed the course and Academy of Learning Career College still teaches the same version.


Satisfactory Progress

All students are issued a program outline that may include target dates for starting and ending each course. These dates must be adhered to as closely as possible in order for students to complete their courses by the prescribed end dates. Should students fall behind, they are expected to put in extra time to maintain satisfactory progress. Students receiving funding will have no leeway in this - if satisfactory progress and course load is not being maintained, it could result in withdrawal. Courses not completed by the program end date will not qualify for refunds or transfers. In the event that completion by the program end date is not feasible, the end date may be extended but only with the permission of sponsoring agencies and the College Director.

In order to receive a credential, students must achieve an overall average of 75%. Regular feedback from college staff ensures students can monitor their progress, and if applicable, may implement initiatives to ensure academic success.
