What will I need to pay?
You need to pay tuition and fees based on your course enrolments at the start of the semester. See the finances section of your online student record for a breakdown of your fee assessment.
If you withdraw from all courses before Monday, January 20, your fee assessment will be reduced by 90%. If you withdraw from any course before Monday, January 20, but remain enrolled in at least one other course, you will not be assessed fees for the course you withdraw from.
If you withdraw from any course from January 20 to January 31, your tuition for that course will be reduced by 50%. If you withdraw from any course after January 31, there is no reduction of fees.
Tuition deposits are non-refundable and are deducted from any refunds noted above.
