Absence from classes does not constitute withdrawal.
Full-time and part-time students who wish to withdraw from individual courses can do so using the registration feature in Self-Service.
Students who wish to withdraw from all courses in a single term or all courses in multiple terms must complete the ‘Withdrawal Request’ form in Self-Service. The date of withdrawal for the purpose of fee administration will be the date the withdrawal form is submitted. Students will receive email confirmation when the withdrawal form has been received.
There will be no fee charged for withdrawal from university by Friday of the second week of term. For withdrawals after Friday of the second week of term, fees will be calculated as 15% of the tuition for the term times the number of weeks or part weeks since the first day of classes.

These students should contact the Registrar's Office regarding their eligibility for a credit.
All self-directed distance learning course refunds are calculated from the first day of the term and the withdrawal date of a course dropped through Self-Service. Fee credits will be calculated as the tuition fee paid for the course minus 15% times the number of weeks including the week of withdrawal, since the beginning of the term. There is no credit (refund) given after 6 weeks of registration.
Refunds will not be given to students who do not adhere to these deadlines.
Refunds are calculated from the withdrawal date of a course dropped through Self-Service. Within 24 hours of making a change students should confirm their registration in Self-Service. If it does not reflect the addition, change, or deletion, or if students have problems viewing their schedule through Self-Service, they should contact the Registrar's Office.
There will be no fee charged for 3 credit courses having 2 classes per week dropped up to and including the last day for change in registration.* Fee credits will be calculated as the tuition fee paid for the course minus 15% times the number of classes including the week of withdrawal, since the course began. There is no credit (refund) given after 6 classes.
Refunds will not be given to students who do not adhere to these deadlines.
*Any course having more than 2 classes per week may be charged a withdrawal fee if dropped before the last day for change in registration. These courses may also be calculated differently for withdrawals. Please see the Registrar's Office.

Students may forfeit a scholarship or bursary or residence bursary award from ¹û¶³´«Ãº if they do not complete the Fall/Winter academic terms and this may affect whether there is a refund on withdrawal and the amount of any such refund. Furthermore, if any portion of a student's fees was paid by Canada Student Loan Program, the University is obliged to remit any refund upon withdrawal to the Canada Student Loan Program, or student's bank, for credit towards their government student loan.
