Purpose 
and Context:

In cases where students must interrupt their studies due to health-related issues and are unable to notify ICA in advance, they have the opportunity to request a retrospective deferment of up to 3 months. This consideration is contingent upon a case-by-case assessment and necessitates submission of pertinent supporting documentation.

Scope: 

This policy applies to ICA students.


Eligibility Criteria

Students who want to defer 3 months must meet the following requirements:

  • Be an enrolled student with current program access

  • Be able to provide records of program attendance to date (eg. Graduation Checklist)

  • Be in good financial standing with ICA (fees paid in full or commitment to continuing payment plan)

  • Demonstrate, or have demonstrated, a commitment to participating and completing their studies

  • Not yet have commenced their performance evaluation process (observed coaching or oral exam)
