Refund Policy

Tuition Deposit & Partial Refund Policy for Undergraduate International Students

Undergraduate international students on a study permit are required to pay a $1,000.00 tuition deposit upon acceptance of admission. If the student's study permit application is denied, they can request a partial refund of the tuition deposit in the amount of $500.00.

Withdrawing from Courses
When you drop one or more courses by the official deadlines for your term or “part of term,” you automatically get a full or partial refund credited to your student account.

Finding Your Deadlines
Check the Academic Schedule or log in to UR Self-Service and view My Refund Schedule (or the Class Refund Schedule) to see the exact drop dates that apply to your courses.

Automatic Refund Levels
There are three refund deadlines each term:

  • Deadline 1: 100% refund of tuition and mandatory fees.

  • Deadline 2: 50% refund of tuition only (other mandatory fees are not refunded).

  • Deadline 3: No refund.

Additional Fee Adjustments
If you withdraw after Deadline 1 because of serious, unexpected events—such as your own serious illness or accident, a close family member’s death or illness, hospitalization, or an involuntary job transfer—you can apply for an extra tuition adjustment. You must submit a formal request with supporting documents; mandatory fees are not eligible for adjustment.

How Your Refund Date Is Set
We use the date you formally withdraw in Self-Service (or the date we receive your written request). If you stopped attending earlier for a documented reason (for example, the day you were hospitalized), we can use that date instead.
