A negative balance indicates that there's credit on your account and that you may be eligible for a refund. In these cases you can either request a refund or leave that credit on your account to be used towards future course registration.


Refunds can be requested by filling out a service inquiry form. Please include the following:


- Explanation of the request                                            - Full Name

- Student ID number



Eight- week process for refunds


Most refunds for credit programs will be issued by email money transfer (e-Transfer) directly to the student. After your refund request is processed, you'll receive an email to your preferred email address advising you a payment has been initiated. If you're unsure what we have on file as your preferred email, you can find this by logging into mySAITand choosing Personal Information under Change Password/Personal Info.

Refunds will no longer be issued by cheque or to the original method of payment.  


- Refunds to international accounts are made via PayMyTuition

- All other refunds are issued by Interac email money transfer
