Graduate House Refunds

Graduate House fee 

Graduate House is supported by a fee charged to some graduate students per term on their tuition statements and is based on their program and is included as part of the "GSA Administered Fees".

(Please note that this is not the "GSA Association Fee" which is non-refundable and for a separate purpose.)

Graduate House fee refund procedure and deadlines

The Graduate House fee is applied per term for registered graduate students. Please check your Quest Financial statement to see if you were assessed the GSA Administered Fee. Distance Ed (Online) programs, School of Architecture, Stratford Campus and Exchange Students have not been assessed the Grad House Fee.  A refund is only available to those that have paid the fee.

If you have paid the GSA Administered Fee including the Grad House portion, then you may request a refund. Refunds are available only during the first three weeks of class of each term.  The refund period is detailed below.

How to obtain a refund:

If you are registered in a regular on campus program you must come to the Grad Student Association Office to receive your refund.

How:  Bring and submit a copy of your detailed tuition statement showing ancillary fee "GSA Administered Fee" for the appropriate term to receive a cash refund.
