Tuition Reimbursement Award

Once you complete your HSXL courses, don't let your University of Regina journey end there! Attend the U of R for an undergraduate degree, diploma or certificate program, and qualify for the Tuition Reimbursement Award. This award is equal to the total tuition amount you paid for your HSXL course(s). 

Eligibility and How to Access the Award

  1. Pay the application and tuition fees
    Students pay the one-time U of R application fee and course tuition upfront at the commencement of their HSXL course(s).

    Note: Those who hold a Student Visa and are enrolled in a Canadian high school pay domestic tuition fees, not international fees. 

  2. Complete your course(s)
    Students must achieve a passing grade of 50% to be eligible for the award.

  3. Get admitted to the U of R
    After being admitted to the U of R for an undergraduate program immediately after high school, you have two options.
    1. Come to the U of R after you graduate high school and register for your courses, or
    2. Get admitted then take a "gap" year. You have 14 months following high school graduation and your U of R admission to register for courses and remain eligible for the Tuition Reimbursement Award.
      • Those who pursue this option need to indicate this preference on their application to the undergraduate program.
  4. Get reimbursed!
The award is then credited to the student's account during their first semester of studies after the add/drop deadline. 
    • The reimbursement amount will be equal to the tuition fee at the time the course was taken. The award covers tuition and mandatory fees, but textbooks and materials are not included. 
    • There is no limit on how many courses HSXL students can take to receive the Tuition Reimbursement Award.
    • Both full-time and part-time students are eligible for the award.

Frequently Asked Questions for HSXL Students

How will my course fit into my future U of R program?

Wondering how your course meets the requirements of different programs at the U of R? 

Talk to your advisor or, if you are already an admitted student, use the Degree Audit and Program Planning Tool.

Can I drop my course?

Yes, but you must follow the policy and there are deadlines for drop requests.

It is your responsibility to drop a class if your plans change.

You may drop a course online through UR Self-Service or by contacting Student and Instructor Services in writing, indicating you wish to withdraw from the course. Always provide your full name and U of R student ID number in your communication. 

Refund dates can be found on your admission letter.

IMPORTANT: Letting your guidance counselor or instructor know you aren’t planning to continue a course does not constitute withdrawal.

Can I take a gap year after high school and still get the Tuition Reimbursement Award?
Yes, but you need to apply for admission to the UofR immediately after high school and complete the Gap Year form indicating you will be taking a gap year. You have 14 months to register at the U of R after you're admitted at which time the award would be applied to your account.
