Hola aska,
I’m planning to apply to professional school once I complete my 4th. However, I don’t think I’d want to officially graduate at that point because I might end up considering a 5th year to boost my grades. If things go well and I don’t need the fifth year but I’m already a month into it, how much money can I get back? Also, does the amount I can get refunded differ when I cancel my registration (late August-early September) before the start of the semester?
Muchos gracias,
DL

Bonjour mon ami,
Although the exact dates change each year, you can definitely refer to the 2012-2013 refund schedule to get a feel for what you?ll be getting back if you decide to back out of your hypothetical fifth year. So if you choose to cancel registration in late August or really, really early in September, you should get all of your money back. There would probably be something on your account saying you owe around $45 for a ROSI access fee, but even that will eventually go away.
However, the easiest way to put this is that if you go to the class, you will be charged something. So if you don?t drop out before school officially starts, you?ll have to pay a minimum of $235 (granted that may very well change for next year). But if you wait for a full month, there?s a very good chance you won?t get any money back, so do try figuring out what you want before you give the university a whopping seven grand.
But if your concern is raising your GPA, there are always summer courses. Some people either do really poorly or really, really well, so consider that instead of spending a full year back at U of T.
Ciao!
