This policy is for students who have received an offer letter from Cape Breton University
It is the responsibility of the students to familiarize themselves with the Important Dates Calendar and deadline dates and to plan/budget accordingly.
For students who have received an offer letter, but their study visa is not granted:
Please note that 100% of a student’s deposit will be returned in the case their study visa is not granted and they were not enrolled in any courses (appropriate documentation is required from the student). To make this refund request, please email internationalaccounts@cbu.ca CBU reserves the right to contact IRCC to verify the status of a visa and/or study permit application and to verify the contents of a refusal letter.
For students who have received an offer letter and have obtained a valid study permit:
For fully accepted students arriving to CBU with a valid study permit, should you choose not to enrol in classes, or to withdraw from previously enrolled classes, 100% of your tuition deposit is classified as non-refundable and non-transferable. Tuition deposits will automatically be withheld/forfeited to CBU. Please notify internationalaccounts@cbu.ca if you plan to withdraw from classes to ensure you are not charged additional fees.
For students who have received an offer letter and have enrolled in courses without final visa approval:
For fully accepted students who enrol in courses without final visa approval (Approval in Principle), should your visa application be refused and you choose to withdraw after courses begin, refunds will be pro-rated based on the duration of study, and appropriate documentation will be requested from the student to verify visa refusal. The unused portion of your tuition deposit will be returned. Please see fee deadlines and email internationalaccounts@cbu.ca to update your student account.
Please note that any student who enrols in courses and then chooses to defer to a later semester is responsible for ensuring all registered courses are dropped before the deadline and that medical plan opt outs are completed. Students will not be reimbursed for courses they do not drop prior to the deadline. Please see deadlines listed in the Important Dates Calendar and follow the deferral process.
