Accept Your Offer to CBU

Confirm Your Seat Now

Congratulations on being accepted to Cape Breton University!  In order to register for courses, you must formally accept your offer by paying a non-refundable tuition deposit that will be used towards your tuition and fees balance and will confirm your seat at CBU. For details on the amount you are required to pay, please reference your acceptance letter in your Future Student Account. Information on how to make this payment can be found at cbu.ca/payment-options.

 

Once you have accepted your offer and confirmed your seat, you can be advised and register for courses.

 

If your acceptance is conditional, please reference your acceptance letter to ensure you are meeting the program requirements. To view your acceptance letter, log in to your Future Student Account.

 

International students accepted to a program intake before January 2024 are not required to accept their offer.

Tuition deposits are non-refundable and will be used towards your tuition and fees balance. To make your deposit and review accepted methods of payment, please visit CBU’s Payment Options. Questions about this process can be directed to admissions@cbu.ca.

 

International students who have received an acceptance letter from CBU may qualify for a refund if they do not receive a valid study permit. Any eligible refund will be equal to the deposit paid less a $500 administration fee. Students should review the Refund Policy for New International Students to see who is eligible to apply for a tuition refund.

 

 

International students accepted to a program intake before January 2024 are not required to accept their offer.

This step only applies to International students. Canadian students should skip this step.

 

On January 22, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced new rules for international students applying to study in Canada, including the requirement of a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL).

 

If you have been accepted for Spring 2024 or Fall 2024 intakes, have paid your tuition deposit and have been issued a CBU email address, you must fill out this form to express your request for a PAL. Applicants for the Winter 2025 semester will be automatically assessed for PAL eligibility after they confirm their seat and are not required to complete the PAL Request Form.

 

For information on requesting a PAL, including a helpful FAQ, please visit cbu.ca/ircc. 

International students can defer their admission to the Alternate Start Date listed on their Notice of Acceptance. If the date to which you wish to defer is not listed on your letter, please contact internationaladmissions@cbu.ca for more information.

 

Deferrals are processed automatically. Students do not need to submit a request to defer to their alternate intake. Students who are not registered for classes beginning on their initial program start date, will automatically be deferred to their alternate start date listed on their notice of acceptance.

 

Canadian students should email admissions@cbu.ca to request a deferral.

 

When your deferral request has been processed, an email will be sent to your CBU email address.

 

Please note that deferrals may not be granted (for either Canadian or International students) for programs with limited seats.
