Payment Options

By registering for classes at Laurentian University, students agree to pay all assessed tuition and fees as a result of this registration. Students are responsible to properly cancel, adjust or drop their registration via their student Self-Service portal or via email to registration@laurentian.ca.

Students understand that decisions with respect to any request for course withdrawals, tuition refunds, tuition adjustments, or other fees shall be made at the Laurentian University’s sole discretion and in accordance with the applicable Refund Schedule - Rules and Regulations. Furthermore, students agree to pay any additional charges they may incur, including, but not limited to: charges for residence, meal plans, class materials, other departmental charges, penalties and late fees.

Students understand that it is their responsibility to verify their student financial account on a regular basis. Students understand that, regardless of their eligibility for financial aid, they are personally responsible for the full amount assessed to them as a result of their registration and will be held accountable to Laurentian University’s policies and procedures. Students understand that having an overdue balance on their student financial account may have both academic and non-academic consequences (financial sanction), including, without limitation, the withholding of official academic documents, the ability to register for future terms and possibility of deregistration.

Payment Due Dates

*If you register for courses after the payment due date, your payment is due upon registration.

In addition, interest of 1.5 % monthly is added automatically to past due accounts.

You can view your tuition, incidental fees, and payment history for current and previous years by viewing your Account Summary, 24/7 in Self-Service.

Payment Options

If you’re studying during the fall and winter trimesters, you have two options for making your tuition and fees payments. If you’re studying in the Spring/Summer trimester, you must pay using Option 1.

Option 1: Pay The Full Amount

Note: This is the only payment option for the Spring/Summer trimester.

Pay the full tuition and fees amount at once. The Total Amount Due is based on your chosen program, incidental, residence, and meal plan fees (if applicable).

Option 2: Pay One Session At A Time

If you’re studying during the fall and winter trimesters, you can pay for one trimester at a time, instead of paying the total amount at once.

In the Fall, you will be required to pay:

• Tuition for all Fall courses (courses that span September to December)

• Half of your tuition for Fall-Winter courses (courses that span September to April)

• All of the incidental fees

• Half of the residence and meal plan fees (if applicable)

Before the Winter term begins, you will be required to pay:

• The remaining tuition for Fall-Winter courses

• The remaining residence and meal plan fees (if applicable)

Important: If you add courses to your schedule after the payment due date, payment must be made immediately following registration.

We offer various convenient payment methods for tuition and fees, including online banking, debit card payments at the myLaurentian Hub, Canadian credit card payments, and International credit card and bank transfer payments. 

Remember to have your 7-digit student number ready when making your payment. Payments can take up to five business days to process, unless otherwise stated. Once a payment is processed, it will appear on your Account Summary. You are responsible for ensuring that payments are made by the payment due date.

Where to find your student number 

After you applied to your program, the Office of Admissions sent an email with your student number. If you already have a myLaurentian account, you can also log in to the myLaurentian Portal and find your student number below your name in your profile.

Still can’t find it? Reach out to admissions@laurentian.ca to request your student number.
 

Online Banking

Paying tuition and fees online through a Canadian financial institution is the easiest and fastest way to pay, with no additional fees. Log in to your online banking, add Laurentian University as a payee in bill payment. Use your 7-digit student number (starting with a 0) as the account number.

Debit Card

Tuition and fees can be paid using a debit card from a Canadian financial institution. Debit card payments can be made in person at the myLaurentian Hub.

Credit Card

International

Flywire offers a payment solution for paying tuition and fees by International credit card or bank transfer. Flywire will notify you once funds have been delivered to Laurentian University and applied to your Account Summary. 

Canadian or International

Pay your tuition using a Canadian or International credit card directly from Self Service. PayPath is a payment platform that applies your payment directly to your Account Summary within minutes. PayPath collects a non-refundable transaction fee during processing: 2.65% for credit cards and 1.65% for debit cards. 

Receiving Financial Aid?

Receiving financial aid can significantly help with your studies. This section explains how various types of financial aid, such as OSAP, sponsorships, scholarships, bursaries, and grants, can be applied to your tuition and fees. It also provides important information on what you need to pay if your financial aid doesn't cover the full amount. Depending on the type of financial aid you expect to receive, your financial aid may be automatically credited to your total amount owing.

Important Note: You must pay any tuition or fees not covered by financial aid using one of the other payment types by the due date.

OSAP

If you have been approved for OSAP, tuition and fee payments (including any applicable residence fees) will automatically be applied to your Account Summary.

Sponsorships

If you are receiving sponsorship (for example, Employment Insurance or a First Nations Band), you must provide a letter from your sponsor, confirming the sponsorship. Email this letter to the Student Awards and Fees Office by the third week of August. If you have any questions about applying for sponsorships, contact the Student Awards and Fees Office.

Scholarship and Bursaries

If you qualify for an award from Laurentian University, you will receive confirmation of your eligibility by early August. The amount of the award will be applied to your Winter term fees.

If you are receiving an award from a source other than Laurentian University, you must email proof of this award (i.e. letter of confirmation) to the Student Awards and Fees Office by the third week of August. If you have any questions about scholarships and bursaries, contact the Student Awards and Fees Office. 

Ontario Learn and Stay Grant (OLSG)
