This includes agreeing to and abiding by our Registration Contract, which outlines our institutional policies and procedures, including fees, drop deadlines and consequences. 

    Please ensure you agree to the fall and winter contracts before moving on to registration. 

    Learn more about our Registration Contract.

  • How can I make a payment towards my student account?

    We offer a variety of payment options, including bank payment, debit/credit card, certified cheque, CIBC International Student Pay,  and more.  For full details, please visit our Payment options page.

  • How do I pay Tuition? What if I receive OSAP?

    If you are receiving enough OSAP to cover your tuition, an OSAP deferment will be placed on your account. An OSAP deferment will prevent any holds and late fees on your account until your enrolment has been confirmed and the funding sent to the university. It is your responsibility to check your tuition account and make sure that your OSAP funding has been received, and that fees have been paid in full for each semester.

    If you are not receiving OSAP, we recommend that you pay tuition via the Bank/Bill Payment option. Please note that this option may take 3-5 business days to post to your student account.
  • Why hasn’t my OSAP been confirmed yet?

    Confirmation of enrolment will begin no sooner than 10 days before the start of classes for the upcoming semester. Your enrolment will be confirmed automatically as long as you meet the following criteria:

    •   All required supporting documentation in your OSAP account has been submitted and approved.
    •   The program, course load and year of study indicated on your OSAP application matches your school file.

    Once your enrolment has been confirmed, it typically takes 5 to 10 working days for your funding to be released.

    If your estimated payment release date keeps changing, please contact the Registrar's Office to discuss your application in further detail.
