If a student requests a transfer, an administrative fee will be required as the preliminary work will have to be repeated by our staff. It is important to note that if a student transfers into a new course, the 12-month deadline will not refresh. The student will be required to complete the new course within the original 12-month deadline, based upon the enrolment date of the original course. Transfers will not be available to a student who has completed more than three assessments. The decision of the FLEXI ACADEMY Registrar is final in all cases involving refund requests and course transfers.

Fees apply to the number of months being purchased at the time of transaction and are not calculated in combination with any extensions previously purchased by the student. For example, if a student purchases one month for $50 and requires an additional one-month extension, the same fee ($50) will apply, with no fee reductions. Students will be removed from theircourses on the next business day following the expiration date. Once removed, the course cannot be reactivated.
