Fees and Withdrawal from the University
If you decide not to attend the term(s) in which you are registered, you must officially withdraw from the University in accordance with University Withdrawal. Otherwise, you are liable for all applicable tuition and other fees.
If you use Minerva to drop your last course between September 1 (January 1 for the Winter term) and the end of the withdrawal period with full refund, you will be deemed withdrawn from the University. You are automatically charged a registration cancellation fee of $200 to cover administrative costs of registration.
If you stop attending classes without dropping your courses, you are liable for all applicable tuition and other fees. See University Withdrawal.
If you are considering withdrawal from the University, please review the information found on the following Student Accounts web page for further details of the financial repercussions of withdrawal: mcgill.ca/student-accounts/your-account/withdrawals.

Refund Procedures
Refund Procedures
You are not automatically refunded your credit balance as many students choose to keep the balance on account for use for a future term. You may request a refund if you have a credit balance of over $2.00. Students with awards may be subject to a waiting period for their refund until the end of course add/drop, as most awards require full-time registration. For directions on requesting your refund online in Minerva, see mcgill.ca/student-accounts/your-account/requesting-refund.
Note: We strongly recommend that you supply direct deposit banking information via Minerva (Canadian banks only); otherwise, a refund charge will apply.
