Refunds-Domestic Students
*****Electronics funds transfer (EFT) is the electronic exchange, transfer of money from one account to another, within a single financial institution through computer-based systems.
To receive direct deposits from Trent University, you are asked to provide your information for an account at a Canadian Financial Institution. By providing this information, you consent to Trent University depositing into that account any amounts payable to you by the university. Please check your deposit information carefully.
The university is not responsible for missing funds if incorrect banking information is provided to us. If an error occurs, the university will work with our financial institution to recall the funds on a best effort basis.
The refund tables outline the percentage at certain dates during the academic year at which credit is calculated for full withdrawal from the University or for a course drop by a part-time student. The actual amount of refund will depend on the amount of fees actually paid. The refund schedule assumes that all fees are paid. Student Association and Organization Fees are not refundable by the University.
While Students may opt to seek financing for their education through private lenders, please be aware that Trent University will not issue refunds greater than the student's Trent-related expenses(tuition, ancillary fees, meal plans, and ON-campus housing).
Students who are borrowing funds to pay for OFF-campus housing and other living expenses should arrange for funds to be deposited directly into their personal bank account.
Peterborough home location students who drop courses but remain in at least 2.0 credits per term pay a flat billing rate and do not receive a refund for the dropped courses. Students dropping courses and registered in fewer than 1.5 credits will receive credit in accordance with the refund schedule, and the drop date.
