Late notices typically forfeit fees. Proof of visa/study-permit refusal is required for study-permit-refusal refunds for international applicants; such refunds will be processed less any designated non-refundable fees.
- Once a semester has begun there are no refunds for class fees of EAL, Physical Education, Communication Media, or IB. Bus and cafeteria refunds are available only up to the end of the first week of classes. Dorm damage deposits are refunded on withdrawal or graduation less any damage costs. Refunds may take up to eight weeks to be processed.
