ESL Terms and Conditions

1. Study Permits: International Students studying for longer than 6 months require a Study Permit and are therefore required to obtain a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL).  Instructions on applying for the PAL will be sent to students after the application and tuition deposit are received. For more information on study permits please visit Brock’s Study Permits & Extensions page.
2. Health Insurance: All ESL students are required to enroll in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP). UHIP fees are mandatory.  Coverage begins on the 10th of the month prior to the start of the enrolled term and ends on the final day of the month in which the term finishes. UHIP covers students up to age 65. Students over 65 should contact UHIP Support about alternate health insurance. Personal travel insurance is recommended for health coverage before and after these dates.
3. Deferrals:  Deferral options vary by program. If you are not able to arrive by the start date of your program, contact Brock ESL for information about deferring to a new term.
4. Prices: All prices (tuition, ancillary fees and UHIP fees) and dates listed are subject to change with or without notice.
5. Currency: All fees listed are in Canadian (CAD) Dollars.
6. Deposits: All applications require a non-refundable $2,000 deposit and $25 application fee due at the time of application. Please visit Making a Payment to learn how to pay your fees.
7. Payment: For new students, full payment is due one month (30 days) prior to the first day of the program. For returning students, full payment is due one week (7 days) prior to the first day of the program. Only upon receipt of full payment by Brock University, students will be registered for the program.
8. Late payment fees: A late payment fee of $250 will be applied to all students who do not pay their full tuition fee by the first day of the Program. Please send us an email if you cannot make your payment by the first day of the program.
9. Refunds: All fees are non-refundable except in cases of visa denial by the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Students denied a visa will receive a refund with proof of denial. Refund requests must be made within one year of the application date. Refunds cannot be processed after program start.
10. Receipts/Invoices: Brock does not issue an invoice for Tuition; however, students can access records of their payments by logging on to their student accounts.
