Refunds

Students who receive confirmation of total withdrawal are eligible for refunds. The effective date of a drop or total withdrawal is the date the request is received by Registrar’s Office. Students areÌýfinancially responsibleÌýfor all courses not officially dropped by the deadline.Ìý

If you are an international student who is experiencing ongoing delays in obtaining your study permit, and these delays have bearing over your ability to meet our posted fee payment deadlines for the winter term, please contact International Centre international.centre@dal.ca to discuss your options.

Withdrawal and refund schedule

Non-attendanceÌýdoes not, in itself, constitute withdrawal. Withdrawals are effective when a student withdraws from classes by dropping viaÌýÌýor by submittingÌýwritten notificationÌýto the Registrar’s Office by the deadline.

In theÌýFaculties of Architecture, Planning and Health Professions, students who wish to withdraw from the University must obtain written approval from the school or college and submit the appropriate forms to the Registrar. Students should continue to attend class until their withdrawal has been approved.
