Yes! Please check the expiry date on your Letter of Acceptance. It is the last day to arrive on campus. If you cannot arrive before the indicated date, you may not be able to start your program in that term. 

Students who received a visa denial or wish to cancel their application can apply for a refund by submitting a Refund Request Form. Additional refund information can be found here.

You can delay the start of your studies to the next consecutive term if you qualify for a deferral. Please check the “Defer your Admission” page to learn about the Deferral eligibility and process.

If you are not eligible for a deferral on your current application, you will need to re-apply and open a new application through the same Applicant’s Account. You will need to upload all supporting documents and your academic profile must meet the admission requirements of the program offered in that intake. A new tuition deposit will be required to reserve the seat in the new application cycle.

If you are still waiting for a visa response, you will get an email with instructions when the deferral window opens. Please check “Defer your Admission”” page for more information on the deferral window dates. Once you fill out the deferral survey, the Admissions team will review your eligibility for an extended deferral of the start date due to the visa delay. If approved, a new Letter of Acceptance will be issued.

The email instructions will be sent to the email recorded on your application. Be sure to check your emails regularly.

If your study permit was approved less than 30 days before the expiry date on your Letter of Acceptance, leaving you without enough time to make travel arrangements to start the term on time, you will be eligible for a deferral. You will receive instructions on how to proceed once the deferral window opens. Please refer to “Defer your Admission” page for more information on the deferral process.
