POLICY
Nicola Valley Institute of Technology shall waive tuition fees, for courses taken by Senior Citizens (60+ years), subject to the following conditions:
1. This waiver is not applicable to tuition for all Continuing Studies courses.
2. The waiver applies only to the tuition fees for the course; any other expenses necessary for participation in the course such as books, supplies, Student Society fees, lab fees, UPASS BC fees, theatre tickets, equipment rental, etc., must be paid by the student.
3. Students must provide proof of age to Registration Office staff if they wish to be considered for this waiver.

5. Registration priority will be given to tuition-paying students. Senior Citizens may register for any available seats no sooner than the day before the class starts.
6. All refunds are subject to the Refund of Fees Policy - C.3.12.
