PAYMENT OF FEES
FEE REGULATIONS AND SCHEDULE


32.1.1 PAYMENT OF FEES

Fees are due and payable before the commencement of regular term classes. (see 30, “Calendar of the Academic Year” for specific dates). As a convenience, students may pay their tuition fees at any time prior to the appropriate due date. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that deadlines are met.

Cheques or other remittances must be made payable to The University of Windsor and must be received by the Cashier's Office prior to the due date. The student's name, identification number, address and telephone number should be recorded in the upper portion of the form of the remittance to ensure that the records are properly credited.

Students may pay their fees at any chartered bank in Canada by using a bank payment form available at the Cashier's Office. If a student has a grant and/or loan (e.g., OSAP), the loan must be assigned to the University to pay the fees. Any known difference between the amount of the award and the fees must be paid on or before the due date.

Students who are unable to complete payment of fees by the prescribed due date must arrange a fee deferment. Daily interest charges may apply. Deferments are permitted under the following circumstances:
(a) a student has evidence of having been awarded a Canada Student Loan or an Ontario Student Loan.
(b) a student has evidence of having been awarded a scholarship, bursary or similar award, which may be used to pay the fees.

Students who are sponsored and require invoices to be sent for collection of fees must bring the appropriate documentation to the Accounts Receivable Office, 1st Floor, Chrysler Hall North.

Notes:

1) It is the responsibility of the student to accurately report his or her academic status and correctly calculate the amount owing to the University for fees and other charges. Where calculations are incorrect or full payment is not made, daily interest will be charged on balances outstanding after the payment due date. Students should check all calculations thoroughly.

Any errors in a student's academic program, level, and status in Canada must be reported to the Office of the Registrar. Any errors which result in the incorrect calculation of fees owing do not relieve the student of the responsibility for payment of these fees. Students will be responsible for any additional charges incurred as a result of changes in their academic profile for all terms that are applicable.

2) It is the responsibility of the student paying his or her fees by cheque to ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover any cheques made payable to the University of Windsor. Cheques returned by the student's bank for any reason will incur return cheque penalties plus other penalties.

3) Every effort is made to process payments in a timely manner; however, cheques are valid for a period of six months and may be cashed at any time during that period.
