• + Tuition Credit (PTCC) »

  Education is an important investment for all students this is why MOSMA created the Part Time Completion Credit (PTCC). The PTCC applies to students who have completed any of our part time courses and would be eligible for up to $600.00 tuition credit towards the Audio in Media tuition, a SOUND investment.

  Who is eligible?

  Any student who has *completed one or two part time courses offered by Mid-Ocean School of Media Arts after January 1, 2005. *Attendance of all 10 classes is considered a completion or where a certificate was awarded.

  How much credit do I earn?

  Completion of 1 part time course = $400
  Completion of a 2nd part time course = add $200.00
  Potential Credit = $600.00

  Can I receive a refund instead of credit?

  No, this is a credit toward full-time tuition. The PTCC is applied toward your Audio in Media tuition upon successful application of the intended intake. The PTCC is a one-time credit and cannot be applied to future dates due to voluntary transfers or withdrawals.

  When is the PTCC applied to my Audio in Media tuition?

  The credit amount will be applied to the tuition balance after the initial instalment and Confirmation of Enrolment has been submitted.
