FEE DEFERRALS
What is a deferral?
A fee deferral is a legal agreement between you and the College. You agree to pay the balance of your fees as soon as you receive OSAP funds or a notice of denial.
Who can apply?
If you have applied to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) for financial assistance, you can request a fee deferral.
Caution: If you request a fee deferral and the College finds that you have not applied to OSAP, you will have to pay the $125 late registration fee.
Cost
The total deferral payment is $145. This includes a $45 deferral fee and a $100 fee applied to your tuition. The deferral payment is non-refundable. Students in certain programs are required to pay material fees in full together with the $145 deferral payment.
How to apply
To request a fee deferral, follow these steps:
- Check the deferral box on the registration form.
- Submit the $145 deferral payment (by VISA/MasterCard/American Express or by certified cheque or money order payable to George Brown College) and your registration form to George Brown College. Online payment is also available, using VISA, MasterCard or American Express through STU-VIEW.
FEE REFUNDS
Fee refunds
Potential refunds and academic penalties are based on the date you submit a completed and signed program withdrawal form to the Registrar’s Office. Some programs do not refund material fees. A minimum of four weeks is required to process a refund. An administrative charge of $20 will apply for replacement cheques.
Example: If you withdraw from a program within 10 working days from the start of a semester, the tuition for that semester will be refunded (and any fees paid in advance for other semesters), minus the withdrawal fee of $100.
International students
For a copy of international student refund procedures, contact the International Centre by e-mail at internationalcentre@georgebrown.caor call 416-415-5000, ext. 2115.
Cost
The administrative charge for withdrawing is as follows:
- Canadian citizen or permanent resident – $100
- International student – $500
Who gets the refund?
You or the organization paying your fees will get the refund. For example, if you get an OSAP bursary for child care or disability-related expenses, your refund will be paid to the Treasurer of Ontario, not to you. The College pays the refund by cheque. For some programs, material fees are not refunded.
