Obtaining a Refund

If a student withdraws from the University, drops a course, or changes from credit to audit, tuition fees will be credited to the student’s account as follows:

On or before the add/drop deadline

100%

On or before the partial refund deadline

50%

All refunds are less the Tuition Deposit, regardless of whether it was paid in advance. See “Spring/Summer Deadlines”, “Fall Term Deadlines” and “Winter Term Deadlines” for deadline dates.

To receive a refund of a credit on account, a student should submit a “Request for Refund” form. Refunds are processed in the middle and at the end of each month. However, in September and January refunds are only processed at the end of the month. Students who require a refund outside of these processing times must submit a letter of appeal to the Manager of Financial Aid.

Refunds for residence fees are detailed in the residence agreement. Refunds are less the Residence Deposit, regardless of whether it was paid in advance.

A Refund Appeals Committee exists for the consideration of exceptional circumstances surrounding a refund. Appeals must be submitted during the term to which they apply. 'Refund Appeal' forms and further information are available from the Registration and Student Finance Office.
