Notes
- Credits are applied against any amount owing on your account. Refunds are issued only when all charges outstanding on your account have been cleared.
- Fee withheld refers to the amount of fees retained by the University when you drop a course during the specified time frame. You are responsible for this amount, whether or not the fees have been paid.
- Terms LA, LB, LC, LD are not eligible for a refund as of the start of the course.
Please note that the academic withdrawal/drop dates are different from refund table dates.
If you enrol in courses for the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 session and later decide not to continue in these courses, please be sure to drop the courses through the Registration and Enrolment Module (REM) as early as possible to free up space for other students who may be waiting to add those particular courses for the summer.
Dropping or changing courses may cost money. You can exchange a course you are in for a different course. Using the feature to exchange a course performs the course add and course drop for you in one step. If you are not able to get into the second course successfully, e.g. it is full, you will still remain enrolled in the first course. If you are successful, the first course will be dropped. Because a successful exchange performs a course drop, exchanging a course may have a financial impact. Please refer to the table above for the term in which you have enrolled to see what the financial impact will be.
Associated Course Fees: Additional fees for course materials, lab fees etc. may be charged in individual courses. Visit the York University Courses website or the appropriate academic department or unit for information about such fees.
