VIII. Fees
Refund of Fees
Upon the authorization of the Assistant VP of Graduate Studies a graduate student who withdraws from the university may be eligible for a refund of part of the fees, to be effective as of the date upon which the withdrawal notice is received in the Office of Graduate Studies. Outstanding Library fines and charges are deducted from the calculated refund.
If the withdrawal results in a credit balance in your fees account, i.e. payments are greater than charges, a refund cheque is produced. Allow approximately four weeks before refunds are available from Student Financial Services. The University has been directed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to return refunds to the National Student Loan Centre in instances where assistance was received through a Government Student Loan.
Refunds of tuition fees will be calculated according to the effective date and the following schedule.
| Class days | Rate |
|---|---|
| 1 - 5 inclusive | 100% |
| 6 - 10 inclusive | 75% |
| 11 - 15 inclusive | 65% |
| 16 - 20 inclusive | 50% |
| 21 - 25 inclusive | 35% |
| 26 - 30 inclusive | 20% |
| 31 and beyond | nil |
Refunds of University Non-Academic fees and Student Organization fees (except Bus Pass, medical insurance premium and dental insurance premium) will be made in full up to and including the 15th class day of a semester. No refund of University Non-Academic fees and Student Organization fees will be made after the 15th class day.
