Refunds 

Waiver of Fees

EIPS charges a variety of fees to support the quality programs and services offered for students. 

FAQ - School Fees  |  FAQ - Transportation Fees  
Administrative Procedure 505: School and Administrative Fees 

All school jurisdictions in Alberta are required to establish a schedule of transportation and school fees. The per-student fee amounts detailed in the schedules below have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees.

  • 2020-21 School Fees
  • 2020-21 Transportation Fees

Fees are charged to international and non-resident students, in addition to the attending school and transportation fees.

EIPS uses an online fee management system to streamline the school fee and transportation fee payment processes for parents and school administrators. This system is accessible through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. 

Note: The only way to pay school fees online is through the desktop version of the PowerSchool Parent Portal (and not through the app or mobile version).

Refunds

Student Transportation Refund Statement
Refunds will not be issued for cancellations or changes in circumstances after September 30 with the exception of:

  1. Students who leave the Division prior to the end of the school year shall be refunded a prorated portion of their transportation fee.

  2. Students who move outside 2.4 km shall be refunded a prorated portion of their transportation fee.

*Refunds will only be processed after the bus pass has been returned to the Student Transportation office.  An administrative fee will apply to all refunds.

 

School Fee Refund Statement (excluding Next Step Continuing Education)
Students who leave their school prior to the end of the school year or semester shall be refunded school fees (excluding activity or extracurricular fees) on a prorated basis. This does not apply to students who change from in-school classes to out-of-school learning during a quarter/semester unless the Government of Alberta closes the school.

One of the following statements regarding refunds will be outlined on each activity or event when the fees are assessed:

  1. Refunds will be issued when students are unable to participate in this activity.

  2. Refunds are available for the registration portion only. The cost of busing cannot be refunded.

  3. We are unable to issue refunds for this activity due to fixed costs.

If a student is not able to participate in an activity and a refund or partial refund is available, it is the responsibility of the parent to contact the school to have the applicable portion of the fee removed from their account.

A student registered for an optional course—where a substantial amount of the course is related to activities—is not eligible to be refunded and is responsible for any related outstanding fees if the student is not able to participate or chooses not to participate in the activity.

Refund Process 
For Transportation and School Fees, refunds and credits on accounts will be applied in the following order:

  • Payment of outstanding fees
  • Left on account for future fees
  • Transferred to sibling fees, on request
  • By cheque

Important Information for Families

  • Individual school fees for Quarter 1 will be posted on the PowerSchool Parent Portal by end of day September 25.
  • As soon as school fees are posted, they can be paid online using the PowerSchool Parent Portal. School fees are due within 14 days of being assessed.
  • Please note: Additional fees may be added throughout the year—for example, at the beginning of each quarter, as your child takes part in various activities, or they may be adjusted by changes in selected optional courses in junior and senior high school. Please check the PowerSchool Parent Portal on a regular basis to ensure all applicable fees have been paid.
  • If circumstances exist where you are unable to pay your fees, you can apply to have certain fees waived. Please note the cut off dates for waiver applications. No applications will be accepted after these dates. Learn more about the fee waiver process.
