Payment of Tuition PolicyThe Boucher Institute is a non-profit private professional school and as such does not receive government funding or subsidies of any kind. Therefore, implementation of our operational budget and our ability to carry on business depends primarily on the revenues generated by the tuition paid by our students.
BINM is accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA) of B.C. which makes our students eligible to apply for student loans through BCSAP. However, PCTIA also prohibits the school from collecting tuition until the end of each month of instruction.
In order to pay our highly qualified instructors, staff and regular bills, it is essential that all tuition, due the last instructional day of the month, must be paid and cashable on time.
It is each student's responsibility to honour their financial obligations to the school as outlined in the student contract. Failure to do so will result in the student being barred from classes and examinations until all tuition payments are brought current.
Any student having more than one NSF check returned in an academic year will be required to submit all remaining payments for the year in the form of a money order or bank draft.
BINM reserves the right to submit outstanding student accounts to collections. All tuition and outstanding fees or fines must be paid in full prior to graduation and release of final transcripts.
This policy stands subject only to an appeal to the Board.
