2012 Fees/Refunds

Undergraduate Summer 2012 Fees [updated 2012-04-09]

Note: Students can check their Fees Account for 2012 Summer fees by mid-April.

FEE PAYMENT

Friday, May 4, 2012 is the deadline to pay summer tuition fees. Students who have not paid their fees in full, submitted a Student Loan Deferment Form* to the Financial Aid & Awards Office, OR provided proof of sponsorship to the Student Accounts Clerk by this deadline will incur a $50 late payment fee.

*Please note that students must apply for financial aid (OSAP or other funding) through the Financial Aid & Awards office by Friday, April 27, 2012 in order to request a Student Loan Deferment.

Students who register for courses after May 4, 2012 must pay their fees, including the $70 late registration fee, in full by the next business day. Students who do not pay their fees in full the first business day after registering will incur a $50 late payment fee.

Students will be held responsible for all course registrations.

OCAD U does not mail paper invoices. Students are expected to monitor their ‘Fees Account’ through My Records. The ‘Fees Account’ page in My Records reflects tuition, fees and credits for each registered or dropped course, the accumulated balance owing, and payments submitted as of the previous business day.

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.

METHODS OF PAYMENT

Fees are payable to OCAD University in cash or by Interac, cheque, or money order. There is a charge of $30 for each NSF (non-sufficient funds) or returned cheque.

Online or telephone banking: Sign up with your bank for online or telephone banking. Add OCAD U as a payee (select Ontario College Art & Design) and use your 7 digit student ID number as your account number. Payments made through your bank will take up to 5 business days to show up on your fees account.

** Please double check your student ID number (should start with 1 or 2) when making payment to ensure that the funds are properly credited to your account **

Cheques (by Mail): Cheques should be mailed to OCAD University, Attention: Student Accounts Clerk, 100 McCaul Street, Toronto, ON M5T 1W1. Please write your student ID number on all correspondence, including the cheque. Post-dated cheques are not accepted.

In-Person Payments: Payment can be made in-person to the Cashier, Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Cashier is located in the Rosalie Sharp Pavilion, 115 McCaul Street, Level 1.

Sponsored Students: If your fees are being paid in full by a sponsor, you may use one of the above payment methods to pay your fees OR you may request a deferment until your sponsorship payment is received. To defer your fees, submit a letter of sponsorship to the Student Accounts Clerk in the Finance office by 4 p.m., Friday, May 4, 2012.

Student Loan Deferments (OSAP and out-of-province students): If you have applied for OSAP (or any government-funded student loans through another province) for the 2012 summer semester at OCAD U, you may use one of the above payment methods to pay your fees OR you may request a deferment until you pick up your student loan. To defer your fees, submit the Student Loan–Deferment Form. This form is available on the OCAD U website under Domestic Tuition and from the Financial Aid & Awards office. The form must be submitted to the Financial Aid & Awards office by 4 p.m., Friday, April 27, 2012.

Course change period: A student may withdraw from a course without academic penalty and receive a credit to their account as outlined below. Students must drop their courses online during the online registration period in order to receive 100% refund. After the online registration period closes, students withdraw from courses by submitting a written request to the Office of the Registrar before the published deadline. Course withdrawal forms are available from the Office of the Registrar. There is no refund of late payment or late registration fees.

Non-attendance does not constitute notice of withdrawal, nor does notification to the instructor.

Non-payment of fees does not constitute notice of withdrawal.

All credits will be applied to a student's account and refunds will be issued only if the student's account has been paid in full. Ancillary fees are non-refundable after the applicable course change deadlines. Refunds will not be issued during the course change period. Refunds are not issued automatically and must be requested through the Finance Office. Allow two to three weeks processing time. All refunds will be issued by cheque. Please ensure that all course changes have been completed before requesting a refund.

To request a refund, submit a Tuition Refund Request Form to the Student Accounts Clerk. Forms are available from the Cashier, the Student Accounts Clerk (416-977-6000, ext. 317), or online at Students, Financial Matters, Tuition & Fees, Refunding on Withdrawal.

Notes:

1. All tuition fee refunds are subject to the approval of the Financial Aid & Awards Office. If students have received more money than entitled to on their OSAP files, the tuition fee refund may be remitted to the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC) to pay down the OSAP overpayment. Students will receive copies of any documentation sent to the NSLSC.
2. Students who have received scholarships or bursaries through an OCADU-administered program (internal and external programs, including the Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarship), may have part or all of the bursary or scholarship rescinded.

For information on Summer Financial Assistance, contact the Financial Aid & Awards office at 416-977-6000, Ext. 231, 257 or 391.

 * There is no withdrawal or refund after this date. [updated 2012-05-03]
