Upon registration for correspondence or on-line courses students are automatically subject to the Wild Rose College policies listed below.

When a maximum of $1495.00 worth of correspondence/on-line courses are purchased in a single transaction, the College will issue a 20% discount on the course fees. Books and GST are not included.

Current full time attendance at another secondary or post secondary school qualifies students for a 10% discount on correspondence/on-line fees. Student I.D. # is required.

Senior Citizens (60+) are eligible for a 10% discount on correspondence/on-line course fees. Please provide proof of date of birth upon registration.

24 hours notice is required for a person correspondence course purchases.

At the time of purchase and regardless of whether one or more correspondence/on-line courses are purchased, students are given one year to complete their course work. The exception is when a purchase of $1495.00 or more is made, in which case students are given three years to complete courses.

The amount of time needed to complete a single correspondence/on-line course is dependent on how much time a student spends each day/week/month on their studies. Students are encouraged to proceed at their own pace with the one year completion date in mind. Two, six month course extensions are available upon request. There is a fee of $50.00+GST for the first extension and a fee of $100.00+GST for the second extension. ALL extension requests must be received in writing, along with payment, prior to the original course expiry date.
