Fall 2023 Exceptional Withdrawal/Refund Policy Update
For most international students enrolled in the Fall 2023 semester, the standard withdrawal/refund policy will apply. The final date to withdraw with a partial refund is September 18, 2023.*
However, George Brown College will have an exceptional withdrawal/refund policy in place for registered Fall 2023 International students who are studying online from outside Canada and have applied for their study permit before the start of their program.
Students eligible under the exceptional withdrawal/refund policy can apply for a full refund of pre-paid tuition** (less $100 withdrawal fee) if:
- Your study permit application is refused; and
- You have submitted the refusal document from IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, & Citizenship Canada) to George Brown College (intlwithdrawal@georgebrown.ca) within 2 weeks of receiving your study permit refusal from IRCC together with your Withdrawal/Refund Form, or before.
The Fall 2023 Exceptional Withdrawal/Refund Policy is in place until October 13, 2023 *** with no extension beyond that date.
*For students pursuing studies from within Canada (online or in person) a study permit or implied status for study permit is required. Therefore, the Day 10 withdrawal/refund policy applies, which has a deadline of September 18, 2023.
**The tuition refund will not include some material fees or the health insurance premium. Students are not eligible for a refund for any semesters prior to Fall 2023.
***Students must contact the college via email (intlwithdrawal@georgebrown.ca) within 2 weeks of receiving their study permit refusal from IRCC with the IRCC refusal documentation and before October 13, 2023, whichever is earlier, with the completed Withdrawal/Refund form in order to be eligible for the exceptional policy. This exceptional policy is in place until October 13, 2023.
