Refund policy

Full-Time Programs

Please read our refund policy carefully before you apply to the English Language and Culture Program.

For Non-Visa Students:

• We need the $250 non-refundable application fee (if applicable) and full tuition payment for your chosen program of study in order to send your Letter of Acceptance.
• If you cancel your registration before the registration deadline, you will receive a full refund of the tuition you've paid minus a 10 percent processing fee, providing that you return the original Letter of Acceptance.
• We cannot grant refunds after the registration deadline.

For Visa Students:

• We need the $250 non-refundable application fee (if applicable) and full tuition payment for your chosen program of study in order to send your Letter of Acceptance.
• When we receive your application fee and full tuition payment, both are non-refundable unless Canadian Immigration denies your application for a Study Permit.
• If Canadian Immigration denies your application for a Study Permit, you will receive a full refund of the tuition you've paid minus a $100 processing fee.
  • You must return the original Letter of Acceptance and the original written documentation from Canadian Immigration verifying that your application was denied.
  • We must receive all required documentation within two months of the date of the visa denial letter

For All Students:

• If you have received a Letter of Acceptance from our program for two or more terms, you cannot defer your second term.
• We can issue refunds only in the name of the person who originally paid the tuition.
• Refunds normally take six to eight weeks to process and are usually issued in bank draft form.
• Refunds are non-transferable. In other words, you cannot transfer your fees to another student or another program at Simon Fraser University.
• You may defer your registration to the next term only once, at no charge.
