Fees and Expenses
Tuition Fees
Method of Payment
Students will receive detailed instructions regarding fee payments before the start of the Fall Term. Fee information is also available at Student Accounts.
Official Registration
A minimum first installment of tuition fees posted in ACORN must be paid or deferred by the August deadline as listed in the Sessional Dates section of the Academic Calendar and the Current Engineering Undergraduates website.
A student’s registration is not complete until they have paid the minimum tuition and incidental fees listed in their ACORN invoice or have made appropriate arrangements to defer those fees.
Students who defer their tuition are responsible for payment of all charges, including any service charges that may be incurred.
Once a student has successfully paid the minimum tuition fee or deferred their tuition, they will be registered, securing their course enrolments. If a student does not pay or defer their tuition fees by the posted deadline, their course(s) will be removed from their ACORN timetable and they will no longer be registered. Requests for reinstatement into courses that have been removed are subject to late registration fees and course availability.
Students have the option to pay fees on a sessional basis — Fall and Winter terms together — or by term (separate Fall and Winter term payments). Students must pay the "Minimum Payment to Register" amount displayed on their current term ACORN invoice.
Verify Registration Status
Students can confirm that they have successfully registered for the term through ACORN. If their status is listed as "Registered in the "Registration" section of ACORN for the current term, payment has been processed and registration is complete.
Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) Deferrals
Students in financial need may apply for OSAP online or through their home Province for financial aid. More information is available on the University Registrar's Office website. If a student has been approved for funding, they may be eligible to defer their fees provided that there are no outstanding fees from a previous session. Once fees are successfully deferred, the student's registration status in ACORN will display as "Registered."
Outstanding Balances
Students are not permitted to register in a new academic session with a previous debt. All fees are posted to your account in ACORN.
The outstanding balance of the account is subject to a monthly service charge of 1.5% compounded (19.56% per annum). Each student is responsible for additional interest charges incurred for payments processed after deadlines have passed. More information is posted on the Student Accounts website.
All payments are applied to outstanding charges from previous sessions first, then to the current session. Fees and other charges outlined in this Calendar are subject to change by Governing Council.

The most current fee schedule is available on the Student Accounts website. New fee schedules are published annually in July. Questions about the fee schedule should be directed to Student Accounts.
