STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES


WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS

Students are assessed fees according to the number of courses in which they are registered. It is important to keep in mind that every course change you make has a corresponding financial implication. The only exception to this is, if a full-time student who drops a course but remains registered in 3.5 credits; in this situation, there is no adjustment to fees. It is possible to withdraw or change from full-time to part-time status and still owe some tuition if only the first instalment amount was paid at the time of registration. No fee adjustment occurs after the last dates to withdraw without academic penalty.

To withdraw from a course, you must notify the Dean's Office in writing of your intent to withdraw or you will be considered a course registrant and will be assessed the full fee as well as receiving a grade of "F" for the course. Refer to the REGISTRATION section (Pointer) .

Refunds are calculated by comparing the total payments and the total charges. Fee charges may be reduced by a withdrawal or a course drop. Charges are reassessed with the withdrawal or drop date recorded by the Dean's Office and the percentages from the Pro-rated Refund Schedule.

After the last day to officially drop, full tuition and activity fees would remain assessed. The last day to obtain any reduction in tuition is the posted last day to drop without academic penalty. Therefore, it is important to complete the withdrawal procedure immediately because the amount of refund or fees owing is computed on the date authorized by the Dean's Office.

If the withdrawal or course drop results in a credit balance in your fees account: i.e. payments are greater than charges, a refund cheque is produced. Refund cheques are automatically prepared by Student Financial Services - Office of the Registrar and available no earlier than eight weeks after the withdrawal date to allow for bank clearing, dropping and adding of courses, etc. (The University has been directed by the Ministry of Tranining, Colleges and Universities to return refunds to your bank in instances where payment was received through a Government Student Loan.) No interest is paid on refunded tuition. Full refunds are given if a course(s) is cancelled by the University.
