 7. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY

7.1 The University is not obliged to grant any refund of fees to students who withdraw from the
University. Any refund may, however, be granted at the University’s sole discretion, provided
the relevant college office is notified in writing on the OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL FORM, before the
closing date allowed for such withdrawals as stated on the annual Senate-approved sessional
dates. Students who withdraw from University without completing a withdrawal form will remain
liable for the payment of full fees due for the entire registration period.

Students wishing to change their curricula (modules or degree/diploma) must complete the
applicable Change of Curriculum forms, by relevant due dates.

7.2 In the event of withdrawal from residence, no portion of the initial payment will be
refunded unless approved by the Manager: Student Residence and Accommodation.

7.3 Approval of refunds will be dependent on the vacated room being filled by a student who is
not already in residence. Inter-residence transfers will not satisfy this requirement. Where the
room cannot be filled, the student will be liable for payment of all the applicable fees.
