Cancellation and refund policy
Cancellation of a public training course by the Non-Credit Language Courses office
The Non-Credit Language Courses office reserves the right to cancel any public training course without notice if there is an insufficient number of participants. This is the only case in which all costs will be refunded.
Cancellation of a language course by the participant
- Prior to the registration deadline: registration and placement test fees are non-refundable.
- From the registration deadline until the day before the training begins: registration and placement test fees + 30% of the total cost of training are non-refundable. No reimbursement will be granted out of those dates.
Exceptional measures for a refund
- Training fees are refunded if the level of language proficiency required for a given course is not met. This level of language proficiency is determined by a placement test, if applicable, scheduled prior to the start of the course.
- In case of illness: please send written proof from the attending physician by e-mail to the following address: languesnoncr@uqam.ca.
Change in course or level
- Any request for a change in course or level must be communicated and clearly justified to the language instructor during the first class.
- If the request is accepted by the management, the change will be effective at the second course.
- No change in course or level will be granted thereafter.
Tax receipt
The tax receipt is issued at the end of February following the year of the training. For example, if you took a course in 2020, the tax receipt will be issued in February 2021.
