Tuition and fee adjustments and refunds

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 If you have not withdrawn by the revision deadline, you must pay your tuition fees regardless of attendance.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

For more information on how to request a refund, see the Pay your tuition page

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.
