Unpaid account balance

Failure to pay overdue accounts due to MLI within the specified period may result in expulsion after a written warning is issued.

Drugs and alcohol

No drugs or alcohol are permitted on school premises.

No person, whether an employee or a student, may smoke marijuana on the school premises or at any school-sponsored event.

Minors/adults who own, use, sell or distribute legal (e.g., marijuana, prescription drugs, etc.) or illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, alcohol or tobacco on school property or at any event authorized by the school will be subject to the most severe disciplinary action, including suspension or dismissal.

School drug and alcohol policies also apply to all student travel and activities while representing MLI. If students are suspected of carrying drugs, illegal substances or items during travel and activities, the school reserves the right to search personal property for any student items that may be considered banned. Students considered to be affected by or under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol face serious consequences, including suspension or expulsion.

Breach of Code of Conduct

All students must adhere to MLI’s Code of Conduct. MLI may expel students who are suspended from school for failing to comply with the requirements and who violate any provision of the BLI Code of Conduct, even if the violation did not cause harm to people or property.

Harassment or discrimination

MLI does not tolerate harassment or discrimination against any student, staff, client, or school visitor. People involved in harassing or discriminatory activities related to race, gender, or sexual orientation may be expelled or suspended immediately, depending on the severity of the behavior. Depending on the severity of the behavior, the school may, at its discretion, expel any employee or student who is investigated for serious harassment or discriminatory activities. In determining what constitutes harassment or discrimination, MLI cites the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

Damage property

Students who damage, steal, or otherwise misuse school property may be expelled. At its discretion, MLI may demand immediate restitution for losses.

Harm to teachers

MLI is committed to ensuring the safety of all school staff, students, customers and visitors. Students who take any action to harm themselves or others may be expelled.

Note:

Students expelled for any reason will be notified in writing by email, handwritten letter, or registered letter. The notice will state the basis for expulsion and the effective date. A dismissed student who disputes the fact of dismissal must follow MLI’s appeal procedure for the student, provide sufficient evidence to support the appeal, and appeal the decision within three days of notification. Students who file an appeal without success will be considered withdrawn from MLI courses and programs.

Liquidation of tuition for expelled students

For expelled students, the account of the expelled student will be filled in according to the school’s “Fee Refund Policy.”

Return of property

The expelled student is responsible for returning all school property that he owns within 10 days of the expulsion and is financially responsible for any property not returned, or property returned in poor condition.
