Your Question: When is the deadline to pay course fees?
Delivered Response: When is the deadline to pay course fees?

Fee Payment Due Dates

Statements are available online* around the 18th of each month and capture course enrolment activities, residence fees, meal plan and telecommunication charges as well as payments made since the last statement was issued*. Each statement calculates a minimum payment due that month and indicates the due date. If there are overdue amounts, the late fee is also calculated at that time. You must pay your balance in full, including the health plan fee, to avoid late charges.

* Please note: statements are not mailed out to students, they are issued and available online on your Student Account Online Statement.

Normally payments are due as follows:

  • enrolment deposit is due within five business days of enrolling in courses;
  • fees for summer course enrolments are due May 10;
  • fees for fall and full year course enrolments are due September 10;
  • fees for residence charges and meal plans are also due September 10;
  • fees for winter course enrolments are due January 10;
  • health plan fees are usually charged in September through November and are due the 10th of the following month.

Any activity that takes place after a statement is generated will be reflected on the following month's statement. Therefore, if you drop a course after August 18, it will not be reflected on your August statement; it will appear on your September statement and will be part of your amount due on October 10.

Around the 18th of each month, review the "Minimum payment due this month" on your Student Account Online Statement.

If you cannot make the required payment of the "amount due" indicated on the statements by the "due date" indicated on the statement, the account will incur late fee charges of 1% per month compounded or 12.7% a year.

Note that if your account is not paid in full you may not enrol in future sessions and that the University does not release transcripts or diplomas if students have fees in arrears.
