Exceptional Refund Policy for First Semester Students with a Letter of Submission for Winter 2021
Humber has an exceptional refund policy in place for new Winter 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 Winter 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 January 15, 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 Winter 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 March 26, 2021.
Refund Policy for Second Semester Students who begin their program online while waiting for a Study Permit for Winter 2021
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 Winter 2021 term and Canadian immigration denies your visa/study permit, then the refund policy below applies. Refund requests submitted after January 29, 2021 will not be considered.
| Withdrawal Timeframe | Refund Amounts |
| Until January 29, 2021 |

Can I defer my program and transfer my tuition fees/deposit?
If you do not start studies then you may defer your program to the May 2021 term, or you may submit a new application for the September 2021 term and have your tuition fees transferred, provided you make the request by the 10th day of classes, January 29, 2021. After January 29, 2021, you will not be able to defer your tuition. There is no guarantee of deferral to the next semester due to limited space. Future term availability will be determined by Humber.

- Refund of fees paid by credit card will be returned to the original credit card.
- Refund of fees paid by web banking and debit card will be issued by cheque to the original sender.
