Program Entry Requirements

There is no English proficiency requirement needed to register for courses in the Online Academic Program, however, to ensure success in the courses, it is strongly recommended that course registrants have both verbal and written proficiency at the post-secondary level.

HRPA does not require prerequisite courses to be completed before registering in any of the Online Academic Program courses. Courses can be completed in any order and do not have to be completed solely at HRPA. HRPA is not a degree-granting institution and, as a result, there is no application process for entering the program. Individuals may simply register for courses as they wish and entry is subject to course availability only.

It is recommended that individuals registering for finance and managerial accounting have a basic understanding of accounting concepts to ensure success in the course.

Course withdrawal and refund policy

All requests to withdraw from a course must be sent in writing to the Office of the Registrar.

All refund requests are subject to a $25 administrative fee:
