Payment of Fees as Confirmation of Registration

Balance of fees must be paid or notice of financial assistance provided, before the deadlines for any session. Consult the Fee Schedule or Academic Schedule for fee payment deadline information.

Fees for consecutive sessions may be paid before the May or September deadlines.

Method of Payment

Students may pay their fees by cash, cheque, money order or debit card, using the following methods:

(a) Mail a cheque or money order to Enrolment Services (117 MacKimmie Library Block, Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, 2500 University Drive N.W., Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4);

(b) Through Telephone/Internet Banking Services. The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà is listed with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank, Scotiabank, and TD Canada Trust;

(c) In person at the U of C Service Stop (Monday to Friday, 09:30-4:30; Thursday, 10:00-4:30);

(d) If fees are to be paid from government student loans, application must be made through the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Student Awards and Financial Aid Office to ensure automatic deferral of payment of fees. If assistance is being provided from a source other than government loans, a letter from the source concerned must be presented to the U of C Service Stop prior to the prescribed fee deadline date.

Students receiving disbursement of their student loan in one installment will have both Fall and Winter Session fees deducted from the single installment plus any other outstanding debts owing to the University (i.e., room and board, student emergency loans, fines, etc.). Students receiving disbursement of their loan in two installments will have Fall Session fees deducted from the first installment and Winter Session fees deducted from the second installment. Other amounts owing to the University may be deducted from either or both of the installments.

If financial assistance is refused, the fees must be paid within ten days. The letter of refusal from Alberta Learning Students Finance must be produced to avoid the late payment penalty. It should be noted that students will not have their registration cancelled if financial assistance is refused and such students will be liable for tuition and general fees owing for the session.

Late Payment of Fees

Students whose fees are not paid by the prescribed deadlines and who have not applied for financial assistance will not have their course registrations cancelled and will be indebted to the University for their tuition and general fees. Interest will be charged on outstanding balances at a rate which the University will set from time to time.

Delinquent Student Accounts

Any current or former student with an overdue debt to the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, including any administrative department and the Students' Union or Graduate Students' Association, will not be allowed to register, will not receive transcripts of grades and may also be denied access to other University services until the outstanding account is settled in full or until an acceptable arrangement is made. Delinquent student accounts will be referred to a collection agency.

Students are encouraged to consult with the University's Student Awards and Financial Aid Office or the Counselling Centre if they are having difficulty meeting their financial obligations.

Note: This policy pertains to students enrolled in all courses offered by the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ.

Fee Refunds

No tuition or general fee refunds will be made where the official date of withdrawal is subsequent to the fee deadline for the corresponding term. Where fees have been paid from a government student loan, and after withdrawal the student still qualifies for full-time status, the refund will be paid to the student. If the withdrawal results in a reduction of the student's status to part-time, the refund will be forwarded to the agency that negotiated the loan to be applied towards the student's outstanding loan(s).
