time in Winter or Spring Terms will be charged a pro-rated fee
and should contact the WLUSU Office regarding their coverage.
ii)In 1990, full-time students in the School of
Business and Economics approved a $50.00 per term voluntary
student contribution program designed to increase the computer
facilities for students in the School. This fee will be refunded
to students who do not wish to contribute and who file for a
refund, through the Dean's Office in the School of Business and
Economics by the end of the second week of the applicable term.

returned to the University by the bank. Penalties will also be
applied when MC/VISA payments are denied or incorrect card
numbers/expiry dates are given.

course on a term basis. The amount charged is based on the type
of accompaniment and the number of hours required for the course.

regarding these fees.
University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) Eligibility for
Foreign Students
UHIP, sponsored by Blue Cross, is designed to pay the cost of the
hospital and medical services that eligible participants and
family members may need in order to maintain their health while
in Canada.
The plan is intended to provide coverage comparable
to that of OHIP as of July 1, 1994, and will reflect all changes
made to OHIP benefits as they occur.
The plan is provided by the Universities on a
compulsory basis for all eligible participants and their
dependents not entitled to OHIP protection. Only those with an
approved waiver may decline participation in the plan.

affiliated College holding valid student authorization issued by

existed for at least 12 months)

an eligible participant, who are unmarried, unemployed, normally
residing with the participant, and

educational institution (annual proof of attendance may be
required)

of any age if mentally or physically disabled and not
capable of self-sustaining employment, provided that disability

before the student applied for coverage, only if
disability began before 21, or age 25 if a full-time student
(proof of disability may be required)

Students dropping courses or withdrawing from Wilfrid
Laurier University are required to obtain and complete the
appropriate form which is available from the Office of the
Registrar. Non-payment of fees does not constitute a withdrawal.
The effective date for course drops or withdrawals from the
University will be the date such information is reported in
writing to the Registrar. The portion of refund is determined by
this date. There are no refunds for courses which are taken under
the audit-course classification. Tuition fees are refunded on a
term basis at the per-course rate in accordance with the
following schedule titled Drop/Transfer/Withdrawal Dates.

replacement date. Please contact the Housing Office for
information regarding the amount of adjustment allowed. Meal card
refunds are effective the date the meal card is submitted for
cancellation. Adjustments will be calculated based on usage or a
pro-rated fee charge, whichever is greater.
No application for residence refund by full-time
students will be considered if received after January 31 in the
regular session.
When students are dismissed from residence for
disciplinary reasons, their residence fees are not refundable and
they are obligated for the full term unless in the opinion of the
Dean of Students there are extenuating circumstances which would
warrant a total or partial refund.

of marriage is provided and total residence and meal card fees
are paid.

a medical statement is provided to the satisfaction of the
University administration.

Tuition Fee Appeals
The fee policies listed in the Undergraduate Calendar and in the
Part-Time Studies and Continuing Education Calendar have been
approved by the Board of Governors. If, due to extenuating
circumstances, students wish to appeal the assessment of tuition
fees for dropped courses or withdrawals from the University, a
Tuition Fee Appeal form must be completed and returned to the
Office of the Registrar. All appeals will be reviewed using the
following approved guidelines:
a)
A student is considered to be registered once a
completed Intent to Register form has been submitted to the
University. Intent to register forms, registration forms and
invoices each contain statements alerting students to the policy
that they are financially indebted to the University for unpaid
fees unless registration is cancelled, in writing, prior to the
commencement of classes each session. Lack of attendance in a
course(s) will be insufficient grounds for the granting of a
refund.
b)
Approved refunds which are based on medical or
compassionate circumstances will be calculated on a pro-rated
basis which will take into account the amount of time a student
was able to participate in classes.
c)
Incidental or miscellaneous fees are not refundable.
Tax Receipts
Receipts will only be issued for the portion of tuition fees
paid. Payments/Scholarships will always be applied to the oldest
charges outstanding. Additional tax receipts required as a result
of late payment will be issued on request. Please allow one week
for processing.
Tax receipts will automatically be mailed to Home
addresses (if available) for part-time students and students not
currently registered. Full-time students are requested to pick up
their tax receipts in the Business Office as soon as they are
available. Notices will be posted when receipts are available in
February. Receipts not picked up before March 1 will be mailed.
Duplicate tax receipts can be obtained in the
Business Office. Payment is required in advance. Please allow at
least one week for processing.
It is the student's responsibility to provide the
Office of the Registrar with a correct and up to date Home
address prior to the preparation of tax receipts. The University
will not be held responsible for tax receipts lost in the mail or
those sent to incorrect addresses.
