Tuition Refunds

Dropping Courses or Withdrawing from a Semester

Students are financially responsible for all fees incurred by course registration. A student may drop a course or withdraw from all courses with no academic penalty within the period established each term as published in the Academic Calendar Schedule of Dates. However, withdrawals may have financial penalties; the portion of tuition and fees that is refunded will depend on the date of withdrawal and the refund schedule.

Students who drop one or more courses before the specified deadline date, and hold part-time registration status for the remainder of the semester, may receive a partial refund. Students who maintain full-time status (i.e. 2.00 credits and greater) after dropping a course do not qualify for a refund. For students with permanent disabilities, please refer to the tuition policy for students with permanent disabilities for details about course load, billing, and refunds.

Discontinuing attendance at classes, or notification to the instructor, does not constitute official withdrawal from a course or the University.

Please refer to the Statement of Financial Responsibility.

Basis for a Refund

Dropping of courses or withdrawal from a semester may create a credit on the student’s account as per the following examples:

  1. Official withdrawal from all classes as per the approved refund schedule.
  2. Classification changes from full time (2.00 credits and greater) to part time (less than 2.00 credits) as per the approved refund schedule. This does not apply to students with permanent disabilities; please see the tuition policy for students with permanent disabilities.
  3. Part-time course load reduction as per the approved refund schedule (1.5 credits to 1.0 credit or 1.5 credits to 0.5 credit).

Requesting a Refund

The University of Guelph-Humber and the University of Guelph have partnered with PayMyTuition to improve the refund process. If you have a credit on your WebAdvisor financial account, follow the steps below to receive your domestic refund (i.e., being deposited into a Canadian bank account) or international refund. Credits on student accounts will be automatically refunded throughout the semester. To expedite the refund, you can contact finaid@guelphhumber.ca from your university email account; include your full name and student ID number.

If a refund is not requested, credits between $10.00- $300.00 will be moved to the next semester. Students will be notified through email when funds are moved and can request a refund if not registering for a future semester.

Refunds under $100 will only be issued if you are graduating and/or not returning for a future term.

NOTE: Domestic refunds will not be issued for amounts less than $10.00. Please contact accquest@uoguelph.ca with any International refund minimum inquires.

Domestic Refund

  1. Email finaid@guelphhumber.ca from your University of Guelph-Humber student email account to request your refund; include your full name and student ID number.
  2. Upon approval of your refund request, you will receive a confirmation email from PayMyTuition (studentrefunds@paymytuition.com).
  3. PayMyTuition will initiate the steps to begin processing your payment request to be paid by Interac e-Transfer.
  4. Once completed, you will receive an email from Interac at your University of Guelph-Humber student email account stating you have received an e-Transfer for this refund.*
  5. Please follow the instructions in the email from Interac, which will require you to enter a one-time refund authorization code to access your funds so the payment may be deposited. To retrieve this code, log into WebAdvisor, go to the “Students” page and click on “Refund Authorization Code” under “Financial Profile.” Make sure to copy the code exactly (i.e., case-sensitive, no spaces).
  6. When the code is entered for the e-Transfer, you will then select the bank account you wish to have the funds deposited into, and the payment will be complete.

    * Note: If you have auto-deposit set up with your banking institution, you will not need to retrieve a refund authorization code. You will immediately receive a second email from Interac indicating that your funds have been deposited.

International Refund

  1. Email finaid@guelphhumber.ca from your University of Guelph-Humber student email account to request your refund; include your full name and student ID number.
  2. Upon approval of your refund request, you will receive an email from PayMyTuition (studentrefunds@paymytuition.com). Please keep an eye out for this email which will provide you further instructions on how to complete your refund process.
  3. Complete the online refund beneficiary instruction form which includes currency, banking and beneficiary instructions.
  4. On receipt of your completed beneficiary instructions, PayMyTuition will verify your request for accuracy and will complete various fraud and compliance checks to comply with various anti-money laundering and compliance laws.
  5. PayMyTuition will send you a confirmation email once your beneficiary information has been verified and approved. You will receive a PDF summary that is password protected. This PDF can be accessed by entering the bank account number that you entered on your beneficiary instruction form (step 3 above).
  6. Once your refund has been processed, you will receive a notification that your refund has been settled. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to be deposited into your account.

Students who request refunds are subject to the following conditions and restrictions:

  • Payments received by the University of Guelph-Humber directly from a foreign country will only be refunded after a student is registered in two consecutive terms at the University of Guelph-Humber with a limit of $2,000. Only one refund will be paid out per semester. All refund requests that exceed $2,000 will be wired back to the originating bank account, subject to a wire charge of $30, or moved to a future registered semester.
  • Payments received by the University of Guelph-Humber directly from a Canadian bank account will be refunded without these restrictions, but are still subject to review.
  • If you are entitled to a refund and paid your fees by credit card, the refund will be sent back to the originating credit card first, up to the amount paid by the credit card.
  • OSAP students please refer to OSAP eligibility.

If your refund request is declined, you will receive an email to your University of Guelph-Humber email account containing an explanation of why your refund could not be processed.
