Hey everyone,
Due to an immediate, unexpected family emergency I'm going to need to drop out before school begins this year (was supposed to start humanities). Anyways, I have a few questions about receiving money back from the university. I visited Student Accounts and Cashiers a few days ago to pay all of my fees (with a bank draft) so I've already paid.
(and I want to make it clear that I'm not looking for someone to tell me not to drop out. Trust me guys, I'll be coming back next year for sure... it's just that for family reasons, I can't start this year. Worst timing ever, this was completely out of my control. I'm regretful that I won't be coming to McMaster until 2012.)
1. Can I receive all of my tuition money back? I am under the impression that this should be ok, because it's before the courses have begun?
2. Can I receive all of my meal plan money back? I can't find much information on this.
3. Can I receive my residence money back? Minus a 600 deposit of course, and I know I have to wait until someone can take over my spot in rez.
4. Are there refunds on the MacPass?
5. For any money I receive back, do they give it to me in a cheque?
Of course, I'll be calling the appropriate offices tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone had any information/experience regarding refunded money. Thanks for all help.
