F.A.T.S. Knows!
You owe all your fees and you'll still have all F's on your transcript.
What if I don't pay my fees?
Your account will be sent to collection.
What if I drop a course or I don't pass a course?
You have to make it up before you can graduate. The course might not be offered again until next year and you might be in school longer than you'd like.
You might not be able to take courses in the next level if this course is a prerequisite.
If you have to make up a course later, you have to pay for it again.
What if I decide I need help?
Talk to your coordinator, your Student Success Advisor, or the folks in the Student Success Centre. Don't leave it too late! We can help more, the sooner you talk to us. We're in F2010, or call 519.452.4282.
What if I need help in math, or with my writing or my English?

What if I withdraw from my program?
Depending when you withdraw, you may owe all your fees AND have F grades in all your courses! To cancel your registration, you must formally withdraw from programs and courses by written notice whether you attend classes or not. If you don't formally withdraw, all your fees are still due!
How do I withdraw?
Post-Secondary (Day School):
During the first 10 days of classes, fill out an “Application for Student Withdrawal” form in the Office of the Registrar (room E1012).
After the first 10 days of classes, fill out an “Application for Student Withdrawal” form in the Student Success Centre (room F2010).
Continuing Education:
Fill out a “Student Withdrawal” form in the Office of the Registrar (room E1012).
What about my money?
The refund deadline for day school programs and courses is the tenth day of classes.
The refund deadline for continuing education courses is different for each course. They are listed in the CE course guide.
If you withdraw by the refund deadline, you are entitled to a partial refund of your fees, as long as you don't owe us anything else. Refunds usually take four-to-six weeks to process.
If you withdraw after the refund deadline, you won't get any money back.
If you do not formally withdraw, you owe all your fees, even if you never attended class.
What about my grades?
If you withdraw before the refund deadline, it does not show on your transcript.
If you withdraw after the refund deadline, but by the withdrawal deadline date, you'll receive a “W” grade.
If you withdraw after the withdrawal deadline date, you'll receive an “F” grade.
