 2.9 Fee Regulations and Schedule

The following regulations apply to all students. 

2.9.1 PAYMENT OF FEES 
Fees are due and payable before the commencement of regular term classes. (see 1.1, "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 many financial institutions by 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. Late penalties may apply. 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. 

(b) if a student has evidence of having been awarded a scholarship, bursary or similar award, which may be used to pay the fees. 

(c) 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. 

Any known difference between the amount of the award and the fees must be paid on or before the above-mentioned due date. 

Notes: 
1) It is the responsibility of the student to accurately report his or her 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, penalties will be charged on balances outstanding after the payment due date. Students should check all calculations thoroughly. 

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

2.9.2 OVERLOAD COURSE FEE  
Students who enrol in a course overload as defined in 2.5.13 will be assessed an overload course fee. 

2.9.3 LATE PAYMENT PENALTY AND INTEREST CHARGES

2.9.4 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 (see above, 2.9.1) 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. 

2.9.5 TUITION AND EDUCATION CREDIT CERTIFICATE (T2202A)

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.

2.9.8 FREE TUITION FOR STUDENTS  
60 YEARS OF AGE AND OVER 
The University of Windsor offers an incentive of free tuition and incidental fees for students sixty years of age and over.

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.
