International Tuition and Fee Deposit

International students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $10,000 within 30 business days of receiving a letter of acceptance. As outlined in the Tuition and Fee procedure, this deposit reserves your program seat and is applied against tuition and fees.

Non-attendance at the start of the program (no-show) is considered a notification of intention to withdraw from a program. The tuition deposit is non-refundable.

We recognize you may have questions, please see additional details below.

The follow does not apply to BScN applicants.

Our goal is to provide a quality learning experience to students committed to joining the Saskatchewan Polytechnic community. Late withdrawals from programs do not allow sufficient time to accept the next qualified applicant. Remitting a significant amount of tuition and fees in advance as a non-refundable deposit demonstrates your commitment to attend and helps Saskatchewan Polytechnic to ensure students are able to attend in available program spaces.

Questions related to the non-refundable deposit? See our FAQs.

You are eligible to receive a full refund on the $10,000 deposit, less an administration fee of $200. A withdrawal form and the study permit refusal must be dated within 10 business days of each other. You must withdraw no later than the fifth day of the start of the program.

You have three choices:

Retain your seat by paying the $10,000 deposit if you have received a letter of acceptance and not yet made payment OR retain your seat if the deposit was previously paid. (See the Deposits section of the General FAQs below: "I already made the payment as per my acceptance letter. Do I have to pay more.")

Defer your program start date to a future intake if you have paid your deposit and are unable to attend on your start date. See “Deferring to a future start date” below. Your updated letter of acceptance will request the updated deposit amount and you will be required to ensure sufficient payments are submitted.

Please note you are not reissued a receipt. Please retain your Flywire receipt or the receipt previously provided as your proof of payment.

General information and FAQs

Upon acceptance into a program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, a non-refundable deposit to a maximum of $10,000 is required to reserve the program seat. This deposit is required within 30 days of receiving a letter of acceptance. The deposit is applied against tuition and fees. See How to Pay for more information on paying your deposit.

FAQs

Saskatchewan Polytechnic prefers the deposit payment be made in full in one transaction. If you need to pay your deposit in more than one transaction, the full deposit must be paid within 30 business days of receiving your letter of acceptance. If you have paid only a partial deposit within 30 days, your program seat will be offered to the next qualified applicant and the deposit you have paid will be returned due to partial payment. The partial deposit will be returned within 4-6 weeks by the same method payment was made.

No, the payment already made as per your letter of acceptance is adequate and will be applied against your tuition and fees should you choose to retain your seat. For example, if your letter of acceptance requested that you submit $9,500 and you paid that amount, we will not request that you submit and additional $500. However, if you choose to defer the full $10,000 will be required.

If you have been accepted prior to the change in the non-refundable deposit, you have three choices:

Retain your seat by paying the $10,000 deposit if you have received a letter of acceptance and not yet made payment OR retain your seat if the deposit was previously paid. (See FAQ above: "I already made the payment as per my acceptance letter. Do I have to pay more?")

Defer your program start date to a future intake if you have paid your deposit and are unable to attend on your start date. See “Deferring to a future start date” below. Your updated letter of acceptance will request the updated deposit amount and you will be required to ensure sufficient payments are submitted.

Please note you are not reissued a receipt. Please retain your Flywire receipt or the receipt previously provided as your proof of payment.

Withdraw from the program before June 30, 2021 and receive a refund of your deposit, less a $900 administration fee. After June 30, 2021 withdrawals will result in a refund less the new required non-refundable deposit. See “Withdrawing from a program” below. Study permit refusal terms will still apply. See "Study permit refusals" below.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic offers deferrals to a future program start date if you have paid your deposit and are unable to attend.

This must be done no later than the fifth day of the program by completing a deferral form. Please note that deferral timelines are subject to change. The deposit you have already paid will be moved and applied against tuition and fees for the next start date. There is no guarantee a seat will be available in the next term when your program is offered as others may already be admitted to the intake. Your updated letter of acceptance will request the updated deposit amount and you will be required to ensure sufficient payments are submitted.

Your current deposit will be moved to a future intake and applied against tuition and fees. You are not reissued a receipt. Please use your Flywire receipt or the receipt previously provided.

If you choose to defer your program start date, do not complete a withdrawal form. Completing both a deferral and a withdrawal form will cause delays. Saskatchewan Polytechnic will process the program withdrawal which may lead to losing both your application status and your non-refundable deposit.

If you are interested in a future intake, applicants may request one free deferral or you may apply to the intake of interest.

If a seat becomes available, additional applicants are accepted with priority given to those on the waitlist. At this point, you will receive an acceptance letter. This letter will provide information about your learning experience at Saskatchewan Polytechnic including information about the non-refundable deposit, which is applied against tuition and fees.
