Refund / Withdrawal Policies

Withdrawal From University

Students who register and decide not to attend the university or choose to withdraw during the year must inform the Registrar’s Office in writing with a withdrawal form or letter.

Please note: Non-attendance at classes does not constitute withdrawal.

Students must let the Registrar’s Office know that they’re planning to drop a course. There are three ways to do that: by filling out a course change form; by letter; or by dropping the course via WebAdvisor. Students who stop their studies without formally withdrawing are not eligible for financial adjustments. Students are advised that financial adjustments are calculated using the tuition refund schedule shown in this section. The withdrawal date is the date recorded by the Registrar’s Office when the course change form is received or the date on which the drop is done via WebAdvisor. Students are also advised to ensure that their account is cleared with Financial Services when withdrawing from the University.

Financial Services will not process adjustments to tuition fees until a copy of the letter of withdrawal or the withdrawal form has been received from the Registrar’s Office.

Co-op Work-Term Withdrawals
Co-op students who take part in the preparatory work in order to go out on a work-term and then don’t go on the work-term will be assessed a prorated fee based on the duration of the preparatory work and the co-op work term. Please check with Financial Services or the Co-op Office for details.

Residence Withdrawals Students withdrawing from residence at any time after they move in will have to pay for their room for the entire eight months of the academic year, unless an off-campus replacement can be found to take their spot. Please refer to policy section for details.

Cafeteria Refunds Students withdrawing from the University may receive a refund of the balance of meal charges on a proportional basis, at the discretion of the University. The refund will be determined after considering the amount of the debit-card balance already used, the average anticipated usage by students and the total number of students on the meal plan.

Please note: All students withdrawing from the University and residence are responsible for contacting Financial Services to ensure final settlement of their student account.
