Commitment fees paid by new overseas international students are non-refundable and non-transferrable after an LOA has been issued unless the student is unable to commence studies due to refusal of an initial Study Permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). In the event of an initial study permit refusal, students are eligible for a full refund of the Commitment Fee less the $200 application for admission fee and an administrative fee of $300.
New overseas international students are responsible for notifying the College of their study permit refusal using the appropriate form.
In addition to the commitment fee, new international students may, at the student鈥檚 request, prepay an additional tuition deposit for up to 15 credits. This additional tuition prepayment is voluntary and refundable; however, any portion that has been applied to course registration is non-refundable. Any remaining unapplied balance will be refunded upon request.
A tuition deposit is a lump sum deposit of fees equivalent to at least 9 credits, which is required to be paid by continuing international students prior to issuance of another Letter of Acceptance (LOA), Confirmation of Enrolment (COE), or Confirmation of Continuing Studies Status (CCSS) for the purpose of applying for a study permit extension or restoration.
Tuition deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable after an LOA or COE has been issued unless the student is unable to continue studies due to refusal of a study permit extension or restoration of status from IRCC.
In the event of a refusal of a study permit extension or restoration of status from IRCC, non-registered students are eligible for a full refund of the tuition fee deposit less the $200 application for admission fee and a $300 administrative fee.
In the event of a refusal of a study permit extension or restoration of status from IRCC, registered students are required to notify the college, using the appropriate form, prior to the regular registration deadline. Refund eligibility follows the course add/drop provisions described in Section 3.
