Students who officially withdraw up to and including the first ten (10) days of the beginning of a semester are entitled to receive a refund of full fees for that semester less a $100.00 administrative charge and a $50.00 deferral fee, if applicable. The College will refund in full any tuition paid in advance for second and subsequent semesters. Failure to attend does not constitute a withdrawal. Students must inform the Registrar's Office, in writing, that they are withdrawing. Withdrawal forms are available from Student Services or from the Registrar's Office.

A $50.00 administrative fee will be assessed at the time of payment to all students deferring fees or paying by instalment. This administrative fee is non-refundable.

Some programs charge an additional consumables fee. Information will be included with the fee statement.

International students who officially withdraw within 10 business days of the beginning of a semester or the beginning of a period for which the student paid fees in the case of a non-semestered or continuous intake program of instruction will receive a refund of a portion of the full tuition and ancillary fees paid for the semester or program period, calculated according to the following equation:

Refund = fees paid - international student tuition fee X $100
tuition fee for Canadian citizens
and - a refund in full of any tuition and ancillary fees paid in advance for subsequent semesters.

For all students, please note that after 10 business days, colleges are required to refund only fees paid in advance for subsequent semesters.
