or courses is the date of registration.
Students who do not comply with the above may have their
registration cancelled at the discretion of the Marine Institute.

Students who have been awarded a scholarship, bursary,
Student Loan or other similar award, may be permitted to have
their payment deferred until they are in receipt of the award
or Student Loan. To request such a deferral, the student must
submit an “Application for Payment Deferral” before the first day
of lectures in the term. This form is available from the Finance
Office.

semester/session will be charged interest at the prime interest
rate plus two percent per annum. Such interest will apply
effective the first day of lectures in that semester.
Late Payment Penalty:
Except as outlined in this policy, all overdue accounts will be
subject to a late payment penalty. The late payment penalty
is $15.00 per course up to a maximum of $60.00 per term or
session.
