Fee Assessment and Refunds for Dropping Classes

As soon as you register in classes, you are responsible for any assessed fees. Please read carefully the information about complete cancellation charges, tuition and fee refunds, and student responsibility.

Fees for students using PAWS registration are assessed and re-assessed based on the dates transactions are entered by the student.

Fees for students not eligible for PAWS registration are assessed at the point of registration with their college. Re-assessments are based on the date Class Changes are performed by the student's college.

Students will be charged for classes dropped according to the fee cancellation schedule. Credits will first be applied to any outstanding balance or to a future term in which the student is currently registered.

Students who have a credit balance on their account can request a refund by filling out a Student Accounts Request for Refund form at www.usask.ca/fsd/forms_and_reports.

Credit balances will be refunded to the original method of payment (i.e. to Canada Student Loans, credit cards).

A different schedule of fee refunds may apply for classes with non-standard start and end dates. Contact Student Central or consult the Formula for Calculating Financial and Academic Deadlines for further details.

If an error is made in assessing a student's account, upon discovery the student's account will be retroactively reassessed and the student notified of any amount credited or debited, regardless of whether or not the student has completed the class, graduated, or is no longer attending the University.

Complete Cancellation Fee

Students are financially responsible for any registration activity. If you register in any classes, you will be charged a minimum of a $30 fee for single term classes and a $60 fee for two-term classes if you subsequently withdraw from University.

The Complete Cancellation Fee is only charged if the cancellation occurs before the deadline for registration changes and is non-refundable. In other words, if students drop a class running over two terms (September-April or May-August) prior to the deadline for registration changes, they will be charged the $30 Complete Cancellation Fee for the September-December or May-June portion of the class, and another $30 for the January-April or July-August portion of the class, for a total of $60. The student will be charged a portion of the tuition if the cancellation occurs after the deadline for registration changes instead of the minimum registration fee.

If you choose not to attend the University, you must withdraw yourself from your classes through PAWS.
