By clicking the submit box, I am registering for the Intensive Bridge to Academic Success in English (iBASE) program. I understand my program payment includes a $200 CAD non-refundable deposit. I am only eligible for a refund if I submit a passing English language test score by July 12, 2022. I will be eligible to receive the amount I paid to Renison, less this $200 fee and any applicable banking fees. I understand my residence fee payment (if applicable) includes a $500 CAD non-refundable administrative fee. If I am unable to obtain a study visa, this administrative fee will be refunded, following the submission of supporting documentation.
By selecting this box, I recognize that I must submit my tuition fees and residence fees to Renison University College and NOT the University of Waterloo. I recognize that tuition fees and residence fees for the iBASE program are due by June 7, 2022.
