2011/2012 Tuition Fees & Payment
Tuition fees payment information for 2011/2012 Fall/Winter is available online, starting July 4, 2011. After registering for courses, the online fees account will be updated the next business day. Go to the Student Information System (SIS) via the “My Records” button to the right and select “Fees Account” from the menu.
The 2011/2012 fee Schedules are posted on the OCAD University website via Domestic Tuition or International Tuition
Deadline
Friday, August 26, 2011, 4 p.m. is the deadline to pay tuition fees. Students who have not paid their fees in full, submitted a Student Loan Deferment Form, or provided proof of sponsorship to the Student Accounts Clerk by this deadline will incur a $50 late payment fee.
Invoices
OCAD U DOES NOT MAIL PAPER INVOICES. Students are expected to monitor their “Fees Account” through the Student Information System. The “Fees Account” page reflects the current tuition and fees as per course selection, the accumulated balance owing as the student makes changes, and any payments received and applied to the account.
The amount owing is updated on the first business day following registration and is listed as “balance.” Late payment fees will be added after the payment deadline. Partial payments will not be accepted.
Payment
We must receive the required payment by the deadline date. Partial payments will not be accepted.
Newly Admitted Students: If you have paid the $500 non-refundable confirmation fee, remember to deduct this amount from the total listed on the fees schedule and add any laptop or production material fees (these amounts are included in the “balance” owing on your fees account so there is no need to adjust). The 2011/2012 fee schedules are posted on the OCAD U website via Domestic Tuition or International Tuition
Installment payments: Only students registered in 3.0 or more credits can pay by installment. A $50 fee is charged if you pay by installment. The second installment is due by Friday, January 13, 2012, 4:00 p.m.
Adding course(s) after your initial payment: If you add course(s) after you pay, it is your responsibility to pay for the additional course(s) on the next business day.
Registering for courses after August 26, 2011: If you register for your first course(s) on August 26, 2011, or later, you must pay your fees, including the $70 late registration fee, on the next business day. Non-payment will result in a late payment fee of $50 applied to your account balance.
Outstanding Balances: If your second installment is not paid in full by Friday, January 13, 2012, 4:00 p.m., you will be charged a $50 late payment fee.
