Refunds and account adjustments
Here, you will find detailed information on policies related to refunds and student account balances.
Account balance and overpayment
If there’s a credit on your account—often, because you paid for a course and then dropped it—complete the Student Account Overpayment Form and submit it to Reception.
outstanding accounts
The College maintains an account for each student. If you have fees owing from a previous term, you will be unable to register for courses or apply for admission. You will also not be issued an official transcript nor be permitted to graduate until your outstanding fees are settled.
Adjustment of Accounts
In the event of an increase of course load during the term, additional charges are added at the full course fee regardless of when the course is added. If you reach 3 or more credit and/or audit hours by adding a course later in the term (e.g., thesis, comprehensive exam, Distance Education course), you will be subject to pay all student fees.
Schedule of Refunds
fall and winter terms
For precise deadlines, please consult the Calendar of Important Dates or the Student Contract that accompanies each registration form.
Unless otherwise indicated on the course syllabus, the deadlines to receive a refund for dropping a course, reducing the number of credit hours in a course, or changing from credit to audit follow these guidelines:
| Refund | Deadline |
|---|---|
| 100% | Fall Term: Monday of the 2nd full week of term |
| 75% | Fall Term: Friday of the 5th week of term |
| 100% | Winter Term, January-April courses: Friday of the 2nd full week of classes |
| 75% | Winter Term, January-April courses: Friday of the 5th week of classes |
No further refunds are available after the 75% refund deadline. The deadline to make any of these changes, without refund, is Friday of the seventh week of the term. After this latter date, you will be said to have attempted the course and are committed to receive a grade.
Please note that the Registration Fee is non-refundable and that the Students Fees are non-refundable after the Early Registration deadline for the Fall and Winter terms.
January Intensive, MALTS Residencies, Spring, and Summer Sessions
Unless otherwise indicated on the course syllabus, the deadline to receive a refund for dropping a course, reducing the number of credit hours in a course, or changing from credit to audit follow these guidelines:
- 100% refund (less registration deposit) if you make the change by the Friday before the course begins
- 75% refund (less registration deposit) if you make the change by the second day of the course
No further refunds are available after the 75% refund deadline. The deadline to make any of these changes, without refund, is the last day of the class. After this latter date, you will be said to have attempted the course and are committed to receive a grade.
Please note that the Registration Fee is non-refundable.
refunds for dropping a thesis, an ipiat, or an integrative project
Refunds for students who have dropped a thesis, an IPIAT, or an integrative project are as follows:
| Refund | Deadline |
|---|---|
| 100% | if the drop is applied for within the term it was first registered |
| 75% | if the drop is applied for in the term immediately after the term it was first registered |
No refund will be issued after this second term. You will receive a 100% refund on your processing fee (if applicable). As of the third term after the term of initial registration, you may not drop a thesis, an IPIAT, or an integrative project and are committed to receive a grade.
general notes
The schedule of refunds for courses held at irregular times will be published on the course syllabus. All deadlines are 4:30 pm (Student Services Office closure) on the dates indicated. In the case of requesting a refund (e.g., due to dropping a course), please allow up to thirty days for processing.
