Refund Policy

Account Balance & Statements
Laurentian University does NOT mail paper bills. You’re responsible for all tuition and related fees for your registered courses. To see what you owe, log in to your Self-Service account and check your Account Summary.

Tuition & Incidental Fees
Your tuition is based on level (undergraduate or graduate), program, course load (full- or part-time), cohort year, and citizenship. Incidental fees (student association, athletic, wellness, etc.) are mandatory. International students without private health coverage must pay UHIP insurance (Sept 1–Aug 31). Canadian citizens aged 60 and over pay no tuition but still cover materials, administrative, and incidental fees.

Payment Deadlines & Charges
All fees are due by the published financial deadlines, not academic deadlines. To avoid late fees and interest (applied on the 1st of each month), allow extra time for your payment to arrive. If you register after the deadline, payment is due immediately.

Withdrawal & Refunds
Simply stopping classes or telling an instructor does not count as withdrawal. To officially withdraw and qualify for a refund, drop your course(s) via Self-Service before the financial refund deadline. Be aware: the last day to withdraw without academic penalty differs from the refund deadline—late withdrawals may incur partial or no refunds.

Requesting Your Refund
If you have a credit balance after dropping courses in time, email fees@laurentian.ca to request a refund. Enter your bank details in WebAdvisor under Financial Information for direct deposit. If you can’t add banking info, the University will mail you a paper cheque at session’s end.

Holds & Collections
Any unpaid balance blocks registration for future terms and delays release of diplomas, transcripts, or letters. Accounts still unpaid at session’s end are forwarded to the University’s internal collections department.

Initiating Course Changes
You are responsible for making any course changes yourself. To do so, log in to your Self-Service account and update your schedule.

When Fees Increase
If your new course choices cost more, you must pay the extra amount right away.

When Fees Decrease
If your changes lower your fees, we’ll first apply the credit to any unpaid charges. If there’s money left over, you can request a refund of the remaining balance.
