Dalhousie University has specific refund policies for international students, particularly those covered by the International Tuition Guarantee. International students who fully withdraw before the add/drop deadline are generally eligible for refunds, with the effective date being the date the Registrar's Office receives the request. Withdrawals for compassionate reasons are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and refunds may be affected by changes in a student's major or degree

Key Points for International Students:

• Full Withdrawal:

  To be eligible for a refund under the International Tuition Guarantee, students must fully withdraw from all courses on or before the add/drop deadline

• Withdrawal Notification:

  Students must officially withdraw by submitting written notification to the Registrar's Office. Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawal, and fees will be payable if courses are not officially dropped. 

• Compassionate Withdrawals:

  If a student is withdrawing for compassionate reasons, their case will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

• Refund Process:

  Refunds are processed through Student Accounts, and the refund schedule varies depending on the timing of the withdrawal.
