It is the responsibility of the learner to familiarize themselves with NOSM University Fees and Refund Schedules and Policies and Academic Fee Schedule.

To be eligible for a full or partial refund, the student must first drop courses and or withdraw from their program, and there must be a credit balance on the overall account.

All charges and outstanding fees accrued to the drop date or date of withdrawal will remain due and payable on the student’s account. The partial or total reimbursement of tuition fees depends on the official date of withdrawal as registered on the student’s file. Any eligible refund will be issued to the original payer and to the original method in which it was paid.

If the student is the original payer, and the funds came from a Canadian bank account, the refund will be issued by direct deposit.

For learners who are sponsored who make withdrawals or make any registration adjustment that results in a credit balance, the sponsoring organizations will receive a refund directly. If the sponsor wishes to allocate the refunded balance to the learner, they must do that independently. NOSM University will issue all sponsored account refunds to the original payer.

Sponsorship payments are bound by the Refund Policy and Schedule.

No refund of Ancillary Fees will be given after the final date to register in the term. Please see the Schedule of Academic Fees for a list.

All graduate students must be registered in each of the three semesters of the academic year throughout their program until all academic requirements are met and they have been deemed eligible to graduate. There is a minimum fee for all graduate degrees, and this will depend on the semester fees in effect at the time of first registration. Semester fees are subject to review at least annually.

For students enrolled in a Graduate Studies program(s) the amount of the tuition adjustment will be determined by the date on which the course or program has been dropped. The amount will be prorated in accordance with the Graduate Studies Refund Schedule. Aside from withdrawal from the program, Graduate students must register and pay per term, until graduation. Accordingly, there is no adjustment of fees for early completion within the last term of study.

Please note that students should not deliberately overpay their student account. In cases where payments exceed the amount of the student’s tuition fees for the session, where no fees are billed, or where payment for student living expenses is made to the University, the University reserves the right to hold the credit on account for (a) subsequent academic session(s) or to return the funds to the original payer, by the original method of payment. Normal Refund Administration and International Wire Transfer fees will apply.

All tuition deposit payments are non refundable.
