Exceptional Refund Policy for First Semester Students with a Letter of Submission for Summer 2021
Humber has an exceptional refund policy in place for new Summer 2021 International students (semester 1) who are studying online from outside Canada and who have applied for their study permit before the start of their program. You have the option to begin your studies online AND outside of Canada in your home country for the Summer 2021 term, provided you have applied for a study permit prior to beginning your studies.
To do this, you must submit your Letter of Submission to Humber College no later than May 7, 2021 in order to register for classes. Note: you are responsible to ensure that you have a valid study permit when Humber transitions back to in person classes.
As you may not receive study permit approval, there is a financial risk to both yourself and Humber. If you choose to begin your classes for the Summer 2021 term and Canadian immigration denies your visa/study permit, then the exceptional refund policy applies.
Students eligible under the exceptional refund policy can apply for a full refund of fees (less $1,000 withdrawal fee) if:
- Your study permit application is refused; AND
- You have submitted the refusal document from IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) to Humber by June 25, 2021.
Refund Policy for Second Semester Students who begin their program online while waiting for a Study Permit for Summer 2021

Refund requests submitted after May 21, 2021 will not be considered.
