Published transport policy text notes that bus fees are paid per term and may not be refunded in case of subsequent relocation when the route cannot be adjusted.
- Published fee-schedule/withdrawal timelines (in prior fee schedules) provide specific refund eligibility windows for term fees depending on the notice date (for example timelines that define higher refund percentages when withdrawal notice is given well in advance of a term start, and lower or no refund for late withdrawal). Those timelines are used to determine refundable portions of term tuition when students withdraw; admission/enrolment fees and application fees remain non-refundable.
