Pay your fees by the date noted on your invoice.
Paying your fees on time secures your spot in your program and avoids late payment charges. For fee payment information, visit our Fees and Financial Aid pages. NOTE: If you've applied for OSAP, you have the option to pay $300 by your fee deadline and defer (postpone) your fee payment until you pick up your OSAP funding. Returning Students - Considering paying your tuition fee late? Be aware and informed of all the implications of that decision. |

You can apply online at http://osap.gov.on.ca/. Verification and processing may take 4-6 weeks. Apply early! Don't forget to book your OSAP pickup appointment via myStudent Centre. |
