Orientation and Registration
  1. ORIENTATION

All new residency learners are expected to attend orientation sessions that are held during registration week of the first semester. Orientation is designed to acquaint new learners with the programmes, procedures, academic, and Learner life policies of the College.

  1. REGISTRATION

Registration is the process whereby learners are officially enrolled for each semester of the academic year. It must be completed in person during the time stipulated in the Calendar of Events of the College. New learners may be required to enroll a day earlier than returning learners.   The registration process includes:

  •   Having fees assessed and making payment to the accountant.
  •   Completing a registration form in consultation with the Registrar.

Registration is not complete until fee payment or fee payment arrangements are made with the Administration.

  1. REFUNDS

Should a learner withdraw for any reason from a course, tuition refunds will be made on the following basis:

  • Before the first week of lectures:             100%
  • Within the first week of lectures:             50%
  • After the first week of lectures:                   0%
  1. ACADEMIC CLASSIFICATION

FEA Preschool Teachers Training College students are all classified as part time students.

Tuition Payment Plans

Full tuition is payable upon enrollment unless other arrangements are approved by the administration in advance. No student will be considered officially enrolled until satisfactory arrangements have been made. The College recognizes that in some instances a definite need for installment payments of tuition exists and therefore, allows students to pay the tuition in installments, after making a required down payment. When time payments are desired, students are asked to discuss payment arrangements with the administration.
In order to qualify for an installment payment agreement and begin the diploma program, the student must make the required minimum down payment and agree to make monthly tuition payments. Tuition payments must be received each calendar month until tuition is paid in full.
Neither a certificate nor a transcript will be issued until the student’s obligation has been paid in full. All students must conform to their payment agreements.

Additional Information

TIME TABLE

The principal and education coordinator designs the timetable. The timetable is standard and will not be changed or amended except by the Academic Committee’s request to accommodate special needs of a students.

ATTENDANCE

Each lecturer keeps formal class registers. The lecturer is obliged to record every absence no matter the reason for it. A Student is allowed a maximum of 3 absences per module in a semester. The Student must submit a written note to the lecturer giving the reason for any absence. (Any class meeting 1 hour per week is allowed only one absence. An absence in a block class which meets for 3 hours at one time counts as 3 absences). Every one-hour absence, beyond the permitted number causes a drop of 3% of the final semester mark. Make-up work is at the discretion of the lecturer.

One minute late equals a tardy. Three tardies (coming late to lectures) equal 1 absence. Compassionate absence (situations beyond a Student’s control, such as death in the immediate family, hospitalization, doctor’s appointments, etc.) must be requested by completing a “Notification of Absence”. Each lecturer affected and then submitted to the Registrar must sign the form. The lecturers will decide on the validity of reason and will arrange make-up work.

  • 80% attendance is necessary in a module to qualify to write the final examination. More than 7 absences will therefore result in failure for the module.
