Refund Policy for First Semester Students with a Letter of Submission for Winter 2022
Humber has implemented a modified refund policy for new Winter 2022 international students (starting in Semester 1) who are studying online from outside of Canada and who have applied for their study permit before the start of their program. Students who have applied for their study permit, but not received the permit before classes begin, may begin their studies online from outside Canada.
To do this, you must submit your Letter of Submission to Humber College immediately so that you may register for classes. Registration closes January 14, 2022. Note: you are responsible to ensure that you have a valid study permit when the transition back to inperson classes takes place.
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 2022 term and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) denies your visa/study permit, then this modified refund policy applies.
New students eligible under the exceptional refund policy can apply for a full refund of fees, less the $1,000 administration fee, if:
- Your study permit application is refused; AND
- You have submitted the study permit refusal document from IRCC to Humber by February 18, 2022.
Where do I upload proof of my visa/study permit denial?
You must upload the visa/study permit denial letter through the Humber International Contact form. This must be uploaded when you submit your refund request.
Can I defer my program and transfer my tuition fees?
Your tuition fees are transferable for up to two consecutive semesters (8 months) for academic programs and two consecutive levels (4 months) for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) if you make your deferral request by February 18, 2022. An administration fee will not be applied to admission deferrals. There is no guarantee of deferral to the next semester due to limited space. Future term availability will be determined by Humber.

Humber is continuing to finalize the details related to its support for students directly affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We will be communicating directly with the individual students who are affected on or before the payment deadlines.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC’s) policy regarding Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility currently states that time spent studying outside of Canada after August 31, 2022 will not count toward the length of a PGWP. We continue to monitor this deadline and if IRCC changes this date, Humber International may consider revisions or updates to this refund policy. The refund policy below is currently in effect for Fall 2022.
