Fees & Fee Deferrals
Fee Assessment & Registration
Each summer you are faced with making decisions about which courses you will take for the following in the Fall and Winter. After making your decision, you will enroll in each of your chosen courses and your fees invoice is assessed (calculated) after you have enrolled in courses.
However your registration is not complete until you pay at least the minimum fees. And you have to do this by the registration deadline date. Failure to pay, or make arrangement to pay, the minimum fees amount will result in you being removed from your classes. Complete details on how to pay your fees and the dates by which you must pay them are available in the Registration Guide.
Information on Fees and Fees Invoices can be found at the Student Accounts website. When you get to the website, click on the Session that applies to your enrolment. E.g. Fall & Winter or Summer.

University Policy on Fees Payment
University policy states that:
- payment of fees is the responsibility of the student;
- payment must be made before you can register for the academic session;
- a student’s payment must be sufficient to cover in full any unpaid charges from a previous session as well as the required amount for the current session;
- fees must be paid in full by the end of winter session (i.e. April 30);
- a service charge is levied on any outstanding account balance (1.5% compounded (19.56 per annum));
- the service charge is applied to a student’s account on the 15th of each month starting on Nov. 15th for the Fall/Winter Session and thereafter until the account is paid in full.
In addition, the University expects students to monitor their account information, recommends students make monthly payments towards their account balance if they do not pay their fees in full by the registration deadline date.

University of Toronto Scarborough imposes the following academic sanctions on students in debt to the University:- transcripts are not issued

TopFee Payment Deferral Information & Deadlines
The University recognizes that not all students may have the resources to pay their fees before the school year begins. We have a program in place to help. A fee deferral is a special financial arrangement available to a qualified student who cannot make the minimum tuition payment by the deadline date of a session. This arrangement is temporary and you are expected to pay your tuition as soon as you can. Before you make a financial arrangement, you must clear any unpaid charges from previous sessions.

| Summer | April 16 – April 30 |
| Fall only | July 16 – August 17 |
| Fall & Winter | July 16 – August 17 |
| Winter only | November 1 – 27 |
