Once you have been informed that you are accepted into the program, a $2,500 admission deposit fee must be paid to hold the seat. The deposit is usually due 4 weeks after a position admission decision; you will be advised well in advance of the deposit due date.
If you do not register at the appointed time for any reason (other than a refusal by the Faculty of Graduate Studies to issue an acceptance letter to you or refusal of a study visa) the admission deposit is non-refundable. Once you have paid the admission deposit, the seat will be held until the Program Administration receives confirmation of your travel plans and your intent to show up for the first two classes. If such confirmation is not received three weeks prior to the start of the first class, then the admission fee will be forfeit and the seat lost to you.
