7. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY

7.1 The University is not obliged to grant any refund of fees to students who withdraw from the University.
Any refund may, however, be granted at the University’s sole discretion, provided the relevant college
office is notified in writing on the official withdrawal form, before the closing date allowed for such
withdrawals as stated on the annual Senate-approved sessional dates. Students who withdraw from the
University without completing a withdrawal form will remain liable for the payment of full fees due for the
entire registration period. Please refer to Section 8 of this document for more information on applicable
fees when withdrawing from the University or deregistering for one or more modules.

Students wishing to change their curricula (modules or degree/diploma) must complete the applicable
Change of Curriculum forms, which are available from all College Offices. College Offices will confirm the
effective dates for all approved changes.

7.2 Withdrawal from residence is not automatic. Students who withdraw from the University, if also
registered for residence, should immediately contact the Department of Student Residence Affairs
(DSRA) to officially withdraw from residence as well. Students who withdraw from residence without
completing and submitting a withdrawal form to DSRA will remain liable for the payment of full fees due
for the entire registration period, regardless of whether or not they stayed in residence.

7.3 In the event of withdrawal from residence, no portion of the initial payment will be refunded unless
approved by the Manager: Student Residence Affairs.

7.4 Approval of refunds will be dependent on the vacated room being filled by a student who is not already
in residence. Inter-residence transfers will not satisfy this requirement. Where the room cannot be filled,
the student will be liable for payment of all the applicable fees.
