International Refunds and Transfers
Continuing Education International Refund and Transfer Policies apply to the International Professional Programs. International application fees are 100% non-refundable.
International Professional Programs are not eligible for transfers to future terms. Applicants will need to reapply to the next available term if they are not able to attend the original term to which they applied, regardless of reason.
Application fees and deposits for each term of the full program of study are required in order to receive a Letter of Acceptance. Application fees and deposits are non-refundable. Deposits are inclusive of tuition fees, not in addition to. All fees are in Canadian dollars.
Tuition refund and transfer eligibility is relative to the program start date.
| Date | Refund/Transfer |
|---|---|
| 15 days or more before start date | Full tuition less deposits |
| 2 – 14 days before start date | 50% of tuition |
| Less than 24 hours before start date | No refunds/transfers |
Example: International Professional Program refund, 18 days or more before start date
If you withdraw from an International Professional Program 18 days before the program start date, your refund/credit would be calculated as follows:
Paid amount: Application fee of $200 + Full fee for the first term $7,350 + Deposit of $675 for the second and third term = $8,900
Fees that can be refunded or transferred: $7,350-$675 = $6,675
International Professional Programs
As an IPP student, you are registered in a closed cohort. This means that all students in your cohort take the same courses, at the same times throughout the program. Students are expected to attend all classes. Absences may result in students having to repeat a course, particularly for courses with in-person participation graded components.
If for any reason, you need to retake a course, or transfer to another available section of the course (or approved substitute for the course), you will need to pay for that course at advertised domestic tuition fee.
There are no refunds for withdrawing from an individual course, only for withdrawal from the entire IPP program.
Pausing your studies
IPP students cannot take a break from their program. If you need to pause your studies for ANY reason, you must withdraw from the program and reapply for the program when you are ready to do so. It is not possible to transfer to a future term.
After reapplying to the program, please contact our student services team for assistance in reviewing the status of your program and determining the remaining requirements you need to complete.
Tuition Refunds and Transfers Related to Visa/Permit Status
Please be advised to submit your study permit application as early as possible as processing times can take several months depending on the country you are applying from. If you submitted an application for entry into Canada to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at least 3 months prior to your program start date, and you do not receive the required visa/permit to enter the country, your full tuition is eligible for refund/transfer if you submit the following supporting documents at least 15 days or more before the course/program begins:
- A copy of the visa/permit refusal letter.
- A copy of the visa/permit Application Status webpage indicating the application is still in progress.
| Date | Refund/Transfer |
|---|---|
| 15 days or more before start date | Full tuition |
| 2 – 14 days before start date | 50% of tuition |
| Less than 24 hours before start date | No refunds/transfers |
Please be advised that the policy above pertains to program applicants only, not family members or dependents.
