Refunds
It is the student’s responsibility to consult the appropriate advisor and become familiar with Humber’s Academic Regulations, including course and program refund policies.
Consult an Advisor Before Program or Course Withdrawal
Students who are considering a program/course withdrawal are strongly advised to consult their program coordinator, in addition to consulting with a representative in the Office of the Registrar.
OSAP recipients should check with a Financial Aid Representative, as withdrawing may affect their current or future OSAP status. If a student withdraws after the semester’s refund date, they are responsible for any outstanding fees and for repayment of OSAP funds to the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC), if applicable.
International students should consult with the International Centre, as withdrawing may affect their status in Canada.
- Refund requests must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar on or before the tenth official day of the term. The last day to drop courses for a refund is outlined on the Academic Calendar. There are no refunds after the tenth official day of the start of the term, and students are responsible for paying outstanding fees.
- Once the refund request is reviewed and approved, students are eligible to receive a refund of their tuition fees, minus the non-refundable administration fee.
- There are no exceptions to the refund policy for students who register late.
- Full-time program fees are a package cost and dropping a course(s) does not qualify for a refund if a student remains in full-time status (this includes students approved for transfer credits). Unused Student Contact Hours are not transferable from one semester to another.
- Refund processing times can vary based on the form of payment. Most requests will be processed within 2-4 weeks of the submission date. Note: refunds to web banking payments could take up to 90 days, depending on the validity of information submitted.

Tuition deposits for domestic students are non-refundable. Once the tuition deposit is made, it is automatically withheld and not eligible for a refund.
