Inclement WeatherCCE is closed if McMaster is closed. Please note the changes in the Inclement Weather Policy. 1. McMaster University decides when the University is closed. Closures are no longer linked to closures at the Hamilton Board of Education. 2. There is the capacity for McMaster University to close for only a partial day. Examinations that are scheduled on the day or the evening of a closing because of bad weather will be cancelled and rescheduled. Deadlines for assignments and other requirements are postponed to the next class session. This information will also be communicated via the University’s Daily News Website. Late Registration Fees1. Registrations received after the 3rd class but before the mid-term will be assessed a late fee of $60.00, unless prior arrangements have been made with CCE. 2. Students who have not registered by the mid-term will not be admitted to class. Receipts/ConfirmationsConfirmation of certificate or diploma registration will be mailed to all course registrants. It is recommended that you register at least two weeks prior to the start date of a course in order to ensure you receive your letter prior to the first class. The confirmation letters will list course name, date, hours and location. Any inquiries regarding official receipts for payments should be directed to Financial Services (905) 525-9140, ext, 24478. T2202A Income Tax Certificates will be available on MUGSI at the end of February. Under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, a student may claim allowance for tuition fees paid for certificate and diploma courses.

If the Centre is unable to process confirmations prior to the course start date, registrants will be notified by telephone. Under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, there is no allowance for tuition fees paid for professional/personal development seminars or courses. Transfer of Credit (Other Institutions or McMaster faculties)Students may apply for Transfer of Credit through the Program Manager for the program in which they are enrolled. To be eligible students need to be currently enrolled in a CCE program and submit a cover letter that maps out what you have completed, where and what course you would like the credit applied towards (i.e. Marketing 123 completed at University of Toronto, in place of 570-819 Marketing), an official transcript with marks and a copy of the course outline or course description. Course content has to be at least 80% comparable to our CCE course. Please note that only courses in which a minimum grade of C- has been achieved may be considered for a transfer of credit. Also, courses completed longer than 5 years at time of application may not be considered. There is a fee of $79 for each TOC (once approved by the Program Manager). The price is subject to change. Your McMaster transcript will show the actual details of the TOC. Students will receive a letter from CCE confirming the TOC has been granted which the students should keep for their own personal records. TOC is not viewable for the students on MUGSI. Tuition Assistance for Eligible McMaster EmployeesMcMaster employees may be eligible for tuition assistance for some programs. Supplementary fees are the responsibility of the student and must be paid at time of registration.
