Policies
Western University Policy and Regulations
The academic policies and regulations of the French Immersion School and Western University apply to all students studying at the School. Academic policies and regulations are described in the University's academic calendar, which may be consulted at Western, at the School office or on the web: westerncalendar.uwo.ca
Student Handbook
Take a few minutes to read the Student Handbook which outlines your responsibilities during the program in Trois-Pistoles. Due to the intensity of the immersion program, academic work outside of, but concurrent with your Trois-Pistoles course is not recommended. Your immersion experience requires your full and exclusive attention.
Refund Policy
Non-Bursary Students: A deposit and non-refundable application fee are due at the time of registration. Request for withdrawal received a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to the course start date will be granted a refund of the deposit or total fees paid less a $50 withdrawal charge. Request for withdrawal after 30 days and a minimum of 15 days prior to the course start date will be granted a refund of 75% of course fees. No refunds are given after 15 days prior to the start of a course.
Explore Bursary Students: A non-refundable application fee is due at the time of registration. All other program fees (tuition, homestay and sociocultural fees) are covered by the Explore Program funding.
Dietary Restrictions Policy
Students with dietary restrictions will be required to submit a doctor’s note or proof of medical condition requiring dietary accommodation. In order to secure a place with a host family who can accommodate their dietary needs, documentation must be submitted to the French Immersion School office within two (2) weeks of registration.
Students with dietary preferences (i.e. not medically-related) will be required to pay an additional fee of $35/week to compensate the additional costs incurred by their host family. If we are unable to offer a place with a host family that can accommodate the preference indicated, a refund of the dietary preference fee will be processed. If you have special dietary needs related to religious practice, please email the French Immersion School office within two (2) weeks of registration.
