Refund Schedules

After the start of classes, the amount of refund or fees owing changes weekly at a rate of 12% of the declining fee balance. Certain fees are non-refundable.

**This does not apply to the Summer term. For summer refund rates, please refer to the corresponding Refund Schedule.

It is important to complete the withdrawal procedure immediately. The amount of refund or fees owing is calculated by the withdrawal date authorized by the Faculty Academic Counselling Office.

If you are a new International student (a student who requires a study permit to study in Canada), you are required to make a non-refundable $2500 CAD admission deposit as a part of accepting your offer of admission.
