Refund deadlines for all other irregular courses

Courses offered outside of the standard term dates have specific prorated Refund and VW deadlines. Refer to the Class Schedule for the dates that apply to your course, or confirm the dates with your faculty/college/school.

Refunds are offered before the completion of 15 percent of the course or program term. Voluntary withdrawals are permitted before completion of 75 percent of the course or program for single-term courses or 58 percent for courses that span two or more terms, but no refunds will be granted.

Are you eligible for a refund?

In order to receive a refund of fees, students wishing to withdraw from courses must do so before the end of the revision period in each term. If you have not withdrawn by the revision deadline, you must pay your tuition fees regardless of attendance.

The amount eligible for refunds is calculated based on the full cost of the course, not including field trip fees and late payment fees. Fee adjustments will first be applied to outstanding balances, including fees assessed for the next term of registration.

The following fees are not refunded when you withdraw from your program or any courses in it:

  • Application for Admission
  • Admission Acceptance Deposit
  • Examination Fees
  • Field Work Fees
  • Incidental Fees
  • Late Payment Fees
  • Letter of Permission Fee
  • Other Compulsory Fees

Appealing your fees

To appeal your academic fees on medical or compassionate grounds, submit the fee appeal form and the accompanying attachments.

If the voluntary withdrawal deadline has not yet passed, you may simply drop your courses in Aurora and submit a fee appeal form to the registrar's office.

If the voluntary withdrawal deadline has already passed, you must first submit an authorized withdrawal request before submitting the fee appeal form.

Tuition Fee Appeals can be submitted through your Aurora Account. If you no longer have access to Aurora, you may contact the Registrar's Office to restore your access.

If you are unable to use Aurora, then you may complete the Tuition Fee Appeal PDF request form.

You cannot appeal a course that you are still registered for.

Submitting a Fee Appeal through Aurora:

  • Select the "tuition fee appeal card' card
  • Upload your documentation as a part of the appeal.
    • Documentation required will vary depending on the reason for your appeal. In all situations, you will be required to submit a one-page letter explaining the circumstances.
  • Once complete, your request will be submitted to the Fee Appeals Committee. There is no set processing time for fee appeals, as they are looked at on a case-by-case basis.

Contact Fee Appeals

The fee appeal committee is only available by email. If you would like to know the status of your appeal, you may email fee.appeals@umanitoba.ca using your student email address.
