Tuition fees for the Winter 2025 term must clear your student account by Saturday, January 25 to avoid late payment fees and interest.
Late fees
A $100 late fee is charged once per-term (on last day of the month) on all student accounts not paid in full by the payment due dates. Subject to change.
Interest
Interest is charged at a monthly rate of 1.2% (compounded to 14.4% annually) on any unpaid balance due, on the second-to-last business day of each month, beginning September and ongoing until paid in full. Subject to change.
Payment Plan
Learn more about the university’s payment plan option, which allows you to pay your fees in monthly instalments.
