Mandatory Supplementary Course Fees
Courses requiring additional fees can be viewed on the Mandatory Supplementary Course Fees list.
Payment of Assessed Fees
The deadline for payment of fees is published in the Undergraduate Schedule of Classes and Examinations distributed each term. Credit for scholarships and bursaries will be given only on the authority of the Financial Aid and Awards office.
Students eligible for any awards or sponsorships will receive a refund from Student Services when the appropriate units are received and processed.
Students who are eligible for tuition fee waivers or holders of Faculty of Education tuition fee certificates (school associate certificates) must submit to Student Services the properly completed forms and payment for the total amount of the student activity fee, athletic fee, UPass (if applicable), and student services fee each term no later than the tuition and fee payment deadline.
Outstanding Accounts
Students are required to pay any outstanding balance in their account to be eligible to enrol in classes. In order to ensure sufficient time for payments to clear, students should pay the balance of these account five working days prior to attempting to enrol in classes.
Cancellation of Enrolment
To cancel an entire enrolment, use the student information system to drop each course(s).
To avoid financial penalties, courses must be dropped by the deadlines.
Non-payment of outstanding fees or non-attendance does not constitute cancellation of enrolment and grades based on incomplete or no work completed will be assigned.
Co-op courses can only be dropped by your co-op coordinator.
Refunds
Space in 間眅埶AV courses is limited. Tuition refunds and penalties are designed to discourage a student from holding space in courses(s) which the student eventually decides not to take. When students who are enrolled in credit courses reduce the number of courses in which they are enrolled, a refund may be granted provided the course change is made during the prescribed refund period. Special fees are not refundable, with the exception of the graduation fee and award of certificate or diploma fee.
Tuition Refund Policy and Course Drop Penalties
Regular Term (May-August) and Intersession (May-June)
The enrolment system monitors course drops by taking snapshots of the number of courses (net course load) in which each student is enrolled. Penalties are assessed on decreases in net course load, not on units. The student will be assessed a penalty for each course drop that resulted in a decreased course load. An outline of course drop deadlines and penalties is available at .
Summer Session (July-August)
Tuition penalties are not applied for dropping summer session courses.
Refunds Due to Overpayments
To obtain a refund due to an overpayment, students must submit a refund request. Visit to obtain the refund request form.
Overdue Accounts and Dishonoured Payments
Students with overdue accounts will be considered to be in bad financial standing and will be precluded from enrolling in subsequent terms. In addition, the University will withhold certain services, including but not limited to the release of various letters and documents such as official transcripts of academic record and parchments for degrees, diplomas and certificates. An account that is delinquent without approved resolution will be forwarded to a collection agency for appropriate action.
A student who presents payment in the form of a cheque that is subsequently returned by the students Letters of Permission financial institution for lack of sufficient funds or because a stop payment has been placed on that cheque will be assessed a penalty fee of $25. In the event that a student on more than one occasion submits a cheque that is dishonoured for any reason, the University reserves the right to require all future financial transactions with the University to be by cash, certified cheque or money order. The University may cancel a students enrolment in a term when payments made by the student are subsequently dishonoured by the students financial institution. Late payment fees will apply.
Students with overdue accounts will be assessed a late fee penalty on outstanding fees. 2% will be assessed each month on the outstanding balance, regardless of any pending scholarships, bursaries, awards, tuition waivers and school associate certificates. Total penalties will be adjusted to conform to Canadian laws and regulations when the final payment is made.
Graduation Fee and Award of Certificate or Diploma Fee
If the candidates application for a degree, certificate and/or diploma is not approved, a full refund is issued. Applications may not be transferred from one term to another and the required fee must accompany each application. Late fees assessed when applying after the first deadline are not refundable.
Tuition Tax Forms T2202A and T4A
All 間眅埶AV students who have an active University computing ID can print their T2202A tax form (starting from the 2003 tax year) and T4A tax form using the Student Information System. Financial records are retained for a period of seven years and then are destroyed.
