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.

Financial Penalties

Late payment fee is applicable after mid May for Spring/Summer sessions, end of September, for the Fall session,  and mid January for Winter session. In addition, interest of 1.5 % monthly is added automatically to past due accounts.

OSAP recipients

The payment of fees will be deferred without financial penalty until September 15 if the student is receiving sufficient funding and January 20 for the second term.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure their OSAP application is complete and a confirmed assessment has been obtained in order for the University to receive funds in a timely manner.

If the amount available from the first and second OSAP disbursement is less than the required amount the student is responsible to pay the difference to the University by the set deadlines.

Late service fees and interest charges will accrue on outstanding balances.

Your account summary is available 24/7 by logging into your Self-Service account (through your myLaurentian portal) and clicking on Account Summary under the Financial Information menu.
