- Providing a student with a notice of dismissal
- Receiving an order from the registrar to issue a refund because a student was admitted in an approved program without meeting the admission requirements

If a refund is due and the student has paid for, but not received, textbooks or other course materials, including equipment or uniforms, the institution must also refund the fees charged for these items.
The refund to which a student is entitled is calculated on the total tuition fees due under the contract. Where total tuition fees have not yet been collected, the institution is not responsible for refunding more than has been collected to date and a student may be required to make up for monies due under the contract.
If the institution has received fees in excess of the amount it is entitled to under the student contract, the excess amount must be refunded.
