International Student Deposit
Starting Spring 2025, new international students must pay a $6,000 deposit. This deposit is non-refundable unless your initial Canadian study permit is refused by IRCC (refusal letter must be dated on or after your application). To request a refund, complete the International Student Deposit Approval Refund Request form:

Paying on Time
You must register and pay all fees and deposits by the published deadlines. If you miss the Phase I payment deadline, you will be dropped from your classes.

Phase II Registration
Any fees owed for Phase II (Late Registration) are due immediately. Late payments will incur penalties and interest.

Non-Payment Doesn’t Mean Withdrawal
Not paying or not attending doesn’t automatically drop your courses. You remain responsible for all fees until you officially withdraw.

Access & Collections
All outstanding fees and fines must be cleared before you can use College services. Unpaid accounts go to a collection agency.

Dropping Courses & Refunds
You may get full or partial refunds if you officially drop courses by the posted deadlines.

Appeals
If you have extenuating circumstances, submit an appeal with documentation to the Registrar’s Office.

Late Fees & NSF Cheques
Overdue accounts incur interest (1.8% per month) and a $10/month late fee. NSF (bounced) cheques carry a $25 charge. Future payments must be by cash, money order, or certified cheque.

Holds for Unpaid Balances
If you owe money (tuition, library fines, equipment fees, etc.), you cannot register for new courses or receive transcripts, diplomas, or letters until your account is paid in full.
