32 FEE REGULATIONS AND SCHEDULE
The University reserves the right to make changes without prior notice in the various fee schedules, as well as changes in rules and regulations and the revision or cancellation of particular courses and programs. The acceptance of fees does not necessarily imply approval of registration. The following regulations apply to all students. 32.1.1 PAYMENT OF FEES Fees are due and payable before the commencement of regular term classes. (See 29, "Calendar of the Academic Year" for specific dates.) As a convenience, students may pay their tuition fees at any time prior to this day. 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 above-mentioned 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 branch of any chartered bank in Canada, using a remittance 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. Students who are unable to complete payment of fees by the prescribed due date must arrange a fee deferment. Deferments are permitted under the following circumstances: (a) if a student has evidence of having been awarded a Canada Student
Loan or an Ontario Student Loan.
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, Windsor Hall North. 32.1.2 LATE PAYMENT PENALTY AND INTEREST CHARGES Full-time and part-time students who have not paid fees prior to the above-mentioned due date will be assessed a late payment charge according to the following schedule:
A monthly interest charge will be levied on all outstanding accounts. The rate applicable will be in excess of the bank prime rate. A student who has failed to comply with the above regulations may have his or her registration cancelled as of the date on which the unpaid fees were due. 32.1.3 NON-PAYMENT OF FEES AND CHARGES Information concerning academic results of any student who has an overdue debt owing to the University shall be withheld until the debt is settled. Students who are graduating and who have an outstanding debt will be permitted to attend Convocation, but they will not receive their diplomas until all their debts are settled. Any student who has an overdue debt owing to the University may not be permitted to re-register until the debt is settled. A student who has not made a satisfactory fee arrangement by the appropriate fee payment due date may be subject to cancellation of his/her registration. Appropriate charges will be assessed effective the date of cancellation. Any student whose registration has been cancelled for default of payment is required to apply for reinstatement of registration at the Office of the Registrar. If the application is approved, a $50.00 reinstatement fee is added to any other assessable charges. Overdue accounts must be paid by cash, certified cheque, or money order. Any student who has an unresolved grievance concerning fees or other charges may present an explanatory letter to the Credit Manager, Cashier's Office. 32.1.4 TUITION AND EDUCATION
A special certificate in a form acceptable to Revenue Canada authorities is required in order that the student may claim a tax credit for eligible tuition fees for income tax purposes. This certificate will be mailed out by February 28 to all students whose accounts were paid in full by December 31 of the previous year. Note: Student incidental fees and other society fees are not allowable for tax purposes and consequently are not included as eligible for tuition education credits. 32.1.5 SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships and other awards paid to students through the Finance Office are usually credited to the student's account on the basis of one half payable in each term. A cheque for any balance owing to the student will be available to the student at the Cashier's Office. October 31—First Installment
32.1.6 WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICY Graduate students who, for any reason, wish to withdraw from the University must notify, in writing, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, as otherwise resumption of graduate study at this University may be difficult or impossible. Full-time undergraduate students who intend to withdraw completely from the University are required to undergo an interview and complete the appropriate forms at the Office of Student Affairs. Part-time students who find it necessary to withdraw from a course or from the University entirely are required to notify the Registrar in person or by registered mail and to give their reasons for withdrawal. Notice by telephone is not acceptable. Failure to attend classes does not constitute a withdrawal. Full refund will be given to part-time students enrolled in a course that has been cancelled by the University. Full- and part-time students withdrawing from regular courses during the periods indicated below will be assessed fees as indicated.
Refunds resulting from complete withdrawals will be available no earlier than six weeks after the date of withdrawal. Refunds resulting from net course drops will be available only on request. 32.1.7 FREE TUITION FOR STUDENTS
The University of Windsor offers an incentive of free tuition and incidental fees for students sixty years of age and over. It is felt that people in this group might wish to avail themselves of the University facilities, not only for degree purposes, but perhaps for personal enrichment and the fuller utilization of their leisure time. If you feel that your needs can be served according to this program, we encourage and invite you to contact the Division of Continuing Education. This applies to Canadian citizens only. 32.1.8 SCHEDULE OF FEES The Board of Governors reserves the right to make changes without notice in the published schedule of fees and charges if, in its opinion, circumstances so require. Any such changes will be reflected in the Self-Assessment form issued through the Cashier's Office before registration. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain this information. The schedule of fees changes annually. Contact the Cashier's Office
for information on the current schedule of fees, which outlines tuition,
incidental, and other fees.
