FEE PAYMENT

Friday, May 7, 2010 is the deadline to pay 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 30, 2010 in order to request a Student Loan Deferment.

Students who register for courses after May 6, 2010 must pay their fees in full by the next business day. Students who have not paid their fees in full by the next business day of registering will incur a $50 late payment fee.

Students will be held responsible for all course registrations.

Fees payment information for the 2010 summer session is available on-line. To determine fees owing, students may view their fees account on the OCAD web site by clicking on ‘Students/My Records, logging on to the Student Information System and selecting 'Fees Account' from the Student Access Menu.

OCAD 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.

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 on-line during the on-line registration period in order to receive 100% refund. After the on-line 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 a notice of withdrawal, nor does notification to the instructor.

Non-payment of fees does not constitute a 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 and will take two to three weeks to process 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 the Tuition Refund Request Form, available from the Finance Office or by clicking on the link below. Submit the Refund Request Form to the Student Accounts Clerk. Forms are available from the Cashier, the Student Accounts Clerk at 416-977-6000, Ext. 317, or on-line under Students, Financial Matters, Tuition & Fees, Refunding on Withdrawal.

Please note: All tuition fee refunds are subject to the approval of the Financial Aid & Awards Office. In cases where students have current overpayments on their OSAP files (where they have received more money than they were entitled to due to any type of change), tuition fee refunds may be remitted to the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC) to pay down the OSAP overpayment rather than being issued to the student directly. Students will receive copies of any documentation sent to the NSLSC.

Students who have received scholarships or bursaries through any of the OCAD-administered programs (internal and external programs, including the Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarship program), may have part or all of the bursary or scholarship recovered through the tuition fee refund and the tuition fee refund payable to the student may be reduced. Contact the Financial Aid & Awards office for more information on Summer Financial Assistance: 416-977-6000, Ext. 231, 257 or 391.
