Domestic Students Refund

Refunds as a result of Financial Assistance/Awards

These apply to scholarships, awards, student loans, and bursaries.

You will be generated a refund only  if it results in overpayments after all fees are paid. Please refer to the Refund Schedule.

Direct deposits

If you have enrolled in Direct Deposit, you will receive your refund in your Canadian bank account. Once the refund is processed (as per our refund schedule), you will be sent an email notification that the deposit will be in your bank account within 3 business days. 

You may log in to your student account on  and know that your refund has been processed when you see "AP Refund" listed on the Account Activity page on go¶¡ÏãÔ°AV. (After logging in, click on the Account Inquiry link under the Finances section, then click on the Activity tab. At the dropdown menu select Term.)

Refund cheques

If you are unable to enrol in Direct Deposit, a refund cheque will be issued as scheduled for in-person pickup at the Registrar & Information Services counter, MBC 3200. Please note that cheques are only released once per month as compared to the more efficient method of direct deposit. Cheques are only valid for 6 months after the issue date.

If you have been notified of a cheque refund and cannot pick up your cheque on campus, please complete the refund cheque mailing request form to have the cheque mailed to your Canadian address.

Please note: prior to pick up your cheque or request for cheque mail out, you would need to show that you have enrolled in Direct Deposit so that future refunds can be made to you electronically.
