Fee Regulations
All fee calculations are made at registration without prejudice and are subject to confirmation and adjustment at a later date. In addition to the handling charge for any cheque returned, the return may result in cancellation of enrolment. Applications for Canada Student Loans (CSL) must be made two to three months prior to registration and through the Student Aid Office of the Department of Education in the province of permanent residence. Approved applicants are issued a Certificate of Eligibility. This is subject to an assignment towards payment of fees at the time of approval by the university at registration. These loans must then be negotiated at a registered postal outlet within thirty (30) days of signing by the university. Students financing their education through scholarships or through external sponsors must present proof of this at registration, or failing this have made prior arrangements to enable payment of amounts required at registration. Late arrangements for payment will result in interest being charged. Enrolment may be cancelled for non-payment of fees.
Full-time Students All fees are due and payable prior to or at registration.
1. A full-time student registered for the fall-winter semester, however, may pay fees in two
instalments.
2. A full-time student registered for either the fall or winter semester is required to pay 100% prior
to or at registration.
Graduate students receiving Acadia Graduate Awards or external scholarships are permitted to use this funding to pay fees. Please consult with the Graduate Studies Officer for further assistance.
Part-time Students All fees are due and payable, in full, at registration.
Late Payment
Interest will be charged monthly at a rate of the then current Bank of Montreal prime plus 5%, on any outstanding balance as of the last working Thursday of the month following registration until such time as the account is paid in full. Where a student has elected to pay fees in two installments, no interest will be charged on the second installment until the last working Thursday of the month following the first day of classes in January of that academic year.
Students who have outstanding accounts are:
1. Not permitted to register again,
2. Not permitted to receive of have sent an official transcript of their record,
3. Not recommended for any degree or diploma, until the debt has been paid,
4. Not permitted to access grade information.
Regulations Regarding Cancellation/Withdrawal
Full-time students: Students must complete an academic withdrawal form obtainable from the Registrar's Office. This requirement applies at any time of the year, irrespective of the reason for withdrawal or whether the student is registered for one or two semesters. Students ceasing their studies without completing withdrawal forms or notifying the Registrar's Office in writing automatically incur academic course drop penalties and are not eligible for adjustments to their fees.
Academic Fees
Students withdrawing from university during the academic year (September to April) are charged for academic and student organization fees of 5% per week for each week or partial week of attendance, based upon information contained in the Academic Withdrawal Form. Students registered only in either the fall or winter semester are charged 10% per week. No academic fee adjustment is made after the tenth week in either fall or winter semester.
Acadia Graduate Awards
Payment of Acadia Graduate Awards will cease immediately upon termination of enrolment in any graduate program.
Part-time students
Students withdrawing from courses must inform the Registrar's Office of this in writing. Withdrawal is effective the day the Registrar's Office receives this written information. Refunds and course withdrawal penalties are calculated as of this day. Non-attendance, or merely informing the instructor of intention to withdraw, is not accepted as equivalent to withdrawal. Students are charged 5% of the course fee per lecture day for full courses and 10% of the course fee per lecture day for half courses. For these purposes a lecture day is three scheduled hours of class.
Regulations Regarding Dismissal
Where a student is dismissed by the university from either, or both, residence or the university, the withdrawal regulations regarding academic fees, residence fees, scholarships and meal cards shall be applied in the same manner as for a withdrawal initiated by the student. The date upon which such dismissal takes effect will be the date used by the university for the purpose of determining the amount of these fees payable to the university by the student.
Income Tax Exemption
Students are responsible for downloading their Tuition, and Education Credit Certificate, Income Tax T-2202A form, from the Registrar's Office website.
