Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, the Association

page for additional information. The application fee for this is $52. We will require detailed course
Outlines/descriptions along with official transcripts in order to complete the assessment. Completed files will normally

documents are received). We will send a PDF letter of acceptance by email and the original will be mailed to the
address on the application form. Please keep us informed if any contact information changes. The transfer credit
assessment can take 2-8 weeks after an offer of admission is sent.

Why is CBU changing its admissions process?

Recently, Cape Breton University has been reviewing its processes to improve its enrolment management
activities and enhance the overall student experience. As a result, several changes are being made to its
admissions and registration processes. The goal is to ensure a positive experience for all students.
The new processes will ensure that students have lots of time to:
Apply to a desired Cape Breton University program;
Accept their offer of admission; and
apply for a study permit before the start of classes.

Students are strongly encouraged to review CBU Academic Policies before accepting their offer of admission.

What is the amount of the tuition deposit fee?

CAPE BRETON UNIVERSITY-CBU - Jan 2026 Page 2 of 19

 To accept an offer of admission, students are required to pay a minimum of $5000. The deposit is non-
refundable and will be applied to the student’s account. Learn how to make a tuition deposit by reviewing these
payment options.

Is the tuition deposit fee refundable?

The tuition deposit fee is non-refundable. The only circumstance in which a refund will be issued is if the student
is denied a study permit and has not yet started studying at CBU. If this is the case, the student can apply for a
tuition deposit refund through the Student Finance Office. If the student meets the requirements, the tuition
deposit will be refunded minus a $500 administration fee. Learn more about CBU’s Refund Policy here.

How long does a student have to accept the offer of admissions?

A student can choose to accept their offer of admission as soon as they receive it and up until the indicated
deadline if there are still seats available. It is encouraged that students review all CBU policies and research Cape
Breton Island before accepting their offer of admissions. Students should accept their offer of admission as soon

CAPE BRETON UNIVERSITY-CBU - Jan 2026 Page 3 of 19

 as possible to ensure they have a program seat for their preferred start date. Some programs have limited
enrolment and may fill up early. Students must accept their offer of admission to be guaranteed a seat.

What if a student waits to accept their offer of admission and the program becomes full?

Students are encouraged to accept their offer of admission as soon as possible. If a student waits to accept their
offer of admission and their program becomes full, then, the student will be offered a seat in the next available
intake as reflected on their Notice of Acceptance.

When is admission to Cape Breton University finalized?

Admission is not final until the student accepts the offer of admission and pays the $2500 tuition deposit. The
Notice of Acceptance is considered conditional until the tuition deposit is paid to Cape Breton University.

Can a student apply for a VISA without accepting the offer of admission?

Students should not apply for a VISA before accepting their offer of admission. A student will require the tuition
deposit receipt to apply for a study permit.

Can a student enter Canada without accepting the offer of admission?

It is unlikely. When a student arrives at a port of entry, a Canada Border Services Agent will review their file and
documentation. The Notice of Acceptance from CBU indicates that a tuition deposit of $2500 is required to finalize
admissions. If the student’s study permit file is not showing a tuition deposit paid, they will not get into the
country.

Can a student register before accepting the offer of admission?

No, students will not be able to register for any classes until the offer of admission is accepted and the tuition
deposit is paid.

What happens if a student arrives at CBU but has not accepted their offer of admission?

If a student enters the country without paying their tuition deposit and arrives at CBU before finalizing their
admissions, they will be sent back to their home country and IRCC will be alerted. Admissions to Cape Breton
University is not finalized until the student accepts their offer and pays the tuition deposit fee.
