Refund Policy

Students who have officially withdrawn from the University or specific courses, may be entitled to a tuition refund to be paid within 15 business days of receipt of the official withdrawal or drop request. Refunds will be based upon the total charge incurred rather than the amount paid by the student.

The percentage of tuition refunded excludes the nonrefundable domestic student tuition deposit, international student deposit*, and all other fees, and is determined in accordance with the following schedule:

  • End of 10th calendar day of the course period, 100%.
  • 11th calendar day of the course period through the end of the term, 0%
  • To initiate a refund, written notice must be provided: (a) By a student to the institution when the student withdraws; or (b) By the institution to the student where the institution dismisses a student

*Refund entitlement is calculated on the total fees due under the contract, less the applicable nonrefundable application, deposit, or registration fees. Where total fees have not yet been collected, the institution is not responsible for refunding more than has been collected to date and a student may be required to make up monies due under the contract.

  • Refund When Visa/Study Permit Is Denied
    International student deposits will be refunded in full less the admissions processing fee of $200 should the student not be able to obtain a Visa/Study Permit prior to the start of the program. Students should submit an International Student Refund Request form to the Student Accounts Office.

  • Refund for Voluntary Non-Commencement
    International student deposits will be refunded in full less the admissions deposit of $5,000 should the student choose not to start their program after obtaining their Visa/Study Permit.
