REGULATIONS GOVERNING PAYMENTS and REFUNDS

Full-Time Students
Part-Time Students

Full-Time Students

  1. All tuition and items 1 to 5 under Other Fees are payable during registration for first and second semesters on the dates set forth under Calendar Dates 2011-2012.  All other fees are payable when incurred.
  2. Students registering for second semester only are required to pay the tuition fees as specified above but only pay one-half Student Union fees.
  3. While a student is financially indebted to the University, no testimonial, diploma, certificate or statement of examination record will be issued.
  4. Students financing part or all of their education with funds from a Canada Student Loan and/or a Provincial Student Loan are required to complete the necessary arrangements before their arrival on campus for registration. Student loan application forms for Prince Edward Island students are available from the University Department of Student Services or from the PEI Department of Education. These application forms are to be completed and filed with the Provincial Government during the early summer months in order that a Certificate of Eligibility may be obtained before registration in September. Students from other provinces must apply through their applicable Provincial Government student aid office. All Certificate of Eligibility forms must be processed at the Accounting Office and delivered to the lending institution negotiating the loan. Failure to follow this procedure before the designated due dates will subject the student to a late fee.
  5. Students who intend to finance their education with student loan funds but have not received their Certificate of Eligibility prior to registration must pay the required fees at registration time. They should, therefore, arrange the necessary temporary financing before their arrival for registration. Failure to follow this before the designated due dates will subject the student to a late fee.
  6. Students whose educational costs are paid by an external organization which requires direct billing by the Accounting Office must present proof of such arrangements at the time of registration. Please note: if monies are not received from the external organization before the designated due dates, this will subject the student to a late fee.
  7. The UPEI Student Union administered student medical plan is a supplement to the Canadian Provincial Medicare plans and covers the student (Canadian and foreign) for certain benefits not provided by Medicare. The term of coverage is from September 1 to August 31 of each registered year for students registering in the fall. All students must pay the specified premium at the time of registration. Those not requiring medical coverage and wishing refunds on the premium paid must present proof of similar coverage to the Student Union Office prior to September 30 of each registered year or during a specific period of time which will be advertised on campus bulletin boards.
  8. Full-time students who withdraw from the University or from individual courses voluntarily or otherwise before October 31 in the first semester or February 28 in the second semester may be allowed a refund on part of their tuition fees provided written notice is previously filed with the Registrar’s Office and the Accounting Office. The date of withdrawal shall be the day notice is received. Refunds will be made for complete months only; any part of a calendar month attended or registered by a student constitutes a full month. Refunds are based on the following discontinuation dates:
    1. 1st Semester
      1. Month of September 60%
      2. Month of October 40%
    2. 2nd Semester
      1. Month of January 60%
      2. Month of February 40%
  9. Student Union Dues Refund
    Student Union dues shall be refunded to students who discontinue courses in the following manner:
    100% until September 30 for fall semester
    80% until October 31 for fall semester
    100% until January 31 for winter semester
    80% until February 28 for winter semester
