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 fee schedules posted on each school website have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. Refer to your child's school website for specific fee details.

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

School Fee Refund Statement
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 as outlined in AP 505: School and Administrative Fees. 

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.

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. Designated students who move outside the distance eligible requirement shall be refunded a prorated portion of their transportation fee.

as outlined in AP 505: School and Administrative Fees.

*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.

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
