Refunds: Deadlines and How to Claim a Refund
Refunds of tuition and administrative charges are available in the following cases:
- if you cancel your registration prior to the start of classes;
- if you drop a course during the Course Change period (first four scheduled classes, which include lectures and laboratories; please see course descriptions of intensive courses where deadlines may be non-standard).
You are not automatically refunded your credit balance as many students choose to keep the balance on account for use for a future term. You may, however, request your credit balance to be refunded at any time.
You can request a refund in Minerva at Student > Student Accounts > Refund Request > Create a new Refund Request. Please note that we strongly recommend that you supply direct deposit banking information via Minerva (Canadian banks only); otherwise, a refund charge will apply. Please see mcgill.ca/student-accounts/your-account/requesting-refund for details.
If the course is cancelled due to insufficient enrolment, fees are refunded in full. There are no refunds under any circumstance if you withdraw from a course after the fourth scheduled class (which include lectures and laboratories).
