North View College is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and academically sound learning environment. While the College makes every reasonable effort to support students in successfully completing their programs, expulsion may be necessary in cases where academic integrity, safety, or ethical standards are compromised.
Students wishing to withdraw from their program must personally notify the Campus Director and submit a formal written notice of withdrawal. A meeting will be scheduled with the Campus Director or designate to finalize records and ensure all academic and administrative matters are properly completed.
Failure to follow the official withdrawal process may result in failing grades becoming part of the student’s permanent academic record.
North View College is committed to fairness, equity, and due process. Expulsion is considered a last resort. In most cases, progressive discipline such as verbal warnings, written warnings, or suspension will be applied before expulsion.
However, the College reserves the right to impose immediate expulsion where the safety, integrity, or well-being of students, staff, or visitors is at risk.
A student may be expelled for cause under, but not limited to, the following circumstances:
North View College does not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. Definitions and determinations are guided by the Ontario Human Rights Code. Students found guilty of severe harassment or discrimination may face immediate expulsion.
Depending on the severity of the situation, disciplinary actions may include:
Students subject to expulsion will receive written notification either in person or by registered mail. The notice will include the reason for expulsion and the effective date.
Students may appeal the decision in writing within one week of notification by following the College’s official complaint and appeal procedure. Further appeal options may be available through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities where applicable.
Financial settlements for expelled students are handled in accordance with the College’s Fee Refund Policy. The effective date of expulsion will be considered the final date of attendance.
Expelled students must return all College property within 10 days of expulsion. Students will be held financially responsible for any missing or damaged items.
This policy is established in compliance with Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005 and O. Reg. 415/06, including sections 3.15, 20.13, and 24.4.
North View College is committed to providing career-focused education through practical training, industry-relevant programs, and supportive learning environments that prepare students for real-world success.
