VIII. Fees
Refund of Fees
Upon the authorization of the Assistant Vice-President (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 Advanced Education and Skills Development to return refunds to the National Student Loan Centre in instances where assistance was received through a Government Student Loan.
