Paying Your Fees

After selecting your courses, complete your registration for the upcoming semester by paying your fees through your bank.

You can find a breakdown of your tuition fees on ACORN by clicking on the Finances menu, and selecting the "View invoice" button. Your invoice will show your upcoming fees for each semester that you enrol in.

Note: All payments are applied to the oldest outstanding charge on the ACORN invoice. There is no distinction between the type of charge, e.g. residence fees, academic fees, etc. Do not pay more than your tuition and residence fees for the session.

International Student Admission Deposit 

If you are a new International student (a student who requires a study permit to study in Canada), you are required to make a non-refundable $1000 admission deposit as a part of accepting your offer of admission. You must also accept your offer of admission through your JOIN portal. The admission deposit will be applied to your student account and towards your tuition fees. Paying an admission deposit allows your spot at the university to be held. 

Instructions for making your admission deposit will be posted in your JOIN portal as a part of your offer of admission information. This amount must be paid in full and you will be able to pay your deposit by credit card only. Your deposit due date is the same as the offer response date outlined in your offer of admission. After your payment has been processed, you will be able to see that your payment has been received in ACORN.
