To enhance your university experience, the Students' Union provides a myriad of services which are maintained through the Dedicated Fees portion of your Student Fees. Dedicated fees are those created by a referendum stating a specific use for the funds collected.

Some of these fees permit students to 'opt-out' of them if the student is either philosophically opposed to these fees or cannot afford them. Students who choose to opt out must complete an opt-out form on this webpage each term, and for each individual fee, during the opt-out period for that particular fee.

Once you have opted out of a fee, there is no method to opt back in for that term. By opting out of a fee, you will likely lose access to the services provided under the fee (this can be confirmed through the fee's receiving organization).

Because these fees are only paid by undergraduate students, refunds are only provided to undergraduate students. Graduate students are not eligible to opt-out.

Once the opt-out deadline for a fee has passed, no further opt-outs of the fee are permitted for that term. The opt-out deadline for Fall 2020 is September 30, 2020. Opt-outs for Winter 2021 will be open from January 1, 2021-January 31, 2021.

Opt-outs will be processed within a month of the opt-out deadline, and the funds will be deposited into the students' ONEcard accounts. Please contact the ONEcard Office for any questions pertaining to your ONEcard account.

Health & Dental Plan

This webpage is not used for opting out of the undergraduate health & dental plan. To opt out out of the health & dental plan, please visit the studentcare website.

DFU's Collected by your UASU you can opt out of

Please note that the DFUs for APIRG, Residence Associations, and The Landing are not collected during the Spring and Summer terms, and are therefore unavailable for opt-out during these terms.

If you have any questions about the opt-out process, please contact the Students' Union.

I opted out by accident. What do I do?

If you mistakenly opted out of a fee we manage that you didn't mean to opt out of, please email dedicatedfees@su.ualberta.ca before the opt-out deadline and we will let you know what options are available.
