Refunds

Students are assessed fees according to the number of courses in which they are registered.  It is important to note that course changes may have financial implications.  Students who drop or add a course but remain registered in 3.5 or more credits are considered full-time and are charged full-time fees.  It is possible to withdraw or change from full-time to part-time status and still owe some tuition.  

It is important to complete the withdrawal procedure immediately because the amount of refund or fees owing is computed on the date authorized by the Academic Dean’s Office.  No fee adjustment occurs after the last dates to withdraw without academic penalty.  To withdraw from a course, you must notify the Academic Dean’s Office in writing of your intent to withdraw. Otherwise, you will be considered a course registrant and will be assessed the full fee as well as receiving a grade of “F” for the course.  Refer to the REGISTRATION section.

Charges for changes made during fall/winter sessions based on full-time enrollment:

  • Withdrawal prior to the first day of classes (September/Winter Session): $220.00.
  • Withdrawal from classes following the first day of classes: $220.00, all non-refundable charges, plus 12% of the declining fee balance per week.  As of November 30 there is no refund granted.

Charges for changes made during fall/winter sessions based on part-time enrollment:

  • Withdrawal prior to the first full week of classes (September/Winter Session): $44.00/full course; $22.00/half course, plus 12% of the declining fee balance per week.

Refunds are calculated by comparing the total payments and the total charges.  Students who change their status from full-time to part-time after classes begin are responsible for all the full-time non-refundable charges, such as bus pass and health plan.

If the withdrawal or course drop results in a credit balance in your fees account (i.e. payments are greater than charges), a refund cheque will be issued. Refund cheques are prepared by Student Financial Services eight weeks after the withdrawal date to allow for bank clearing, dropping and adding of courses, etc.  King's University College has been directed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to return refunds to the National Student Loan Centre in instances where payment was received through a Government Student Loan.  No interest is paid on refunded tuition.  Full refunds are given if a course(s) is cancelled by the University.

Changes to your enrollment may affect your OSAP entitlement.  Contact Student Financial Services at (519) 433-3491 ext. 4319 prior to altering your course load if you are unsure of the financial implications.
