Note: Students enrolled in commerce, computer science, bioinformatics and computational biology, or concurrent teacher education subject POSt pay higher fees; see Academic Fees for Commerce, Computer Science, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, or Concurrent Teacher Education Subject POSts for details.

How and when to pay

To be automatically registered for the fall-winter session you must enrol in courses AND pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by August 19. We allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University. If payment is not received by this time, you will be removed from your courses.

IMPORTANT: Students on waiting lists will be added to the course when space is made available at any time. You may not be able to be reinstated to a course that you have been removed from because students on waiting lists may have filled the space created.

Students who have been removed from courses and had their registrations cancelled will have to show proof of payment before they can attempt to enrol in courses again.

You can check to see if you are registered on the SWS. Log on and select “Timetables” from the main menu. Display your timetable for the current session-on the upper right portion of the timetable is your “Status.” If it is “REG,” your registration is complete. If your status is “INVIT,” you risk being removed from your courses! You should check your status a fews after you have paid to be safe.

What happens if I don't pay or defer by August 19?

If your payment or deferral has not been received by the University by August 19, you will be removed from your courses and your space may be filled by a student from a waiting list. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University If you are reinstated because of late fees payment, you will also be charged a late registration fee. You will only be reinstated into courses if there is space.

Electronic payments

Once you enrol in courses, you should pay your fees using electronic payment (see below). You can obtain an up-to-date balance on ROSI immediately after changing your course enrolments.

You can pay your fees using telephone or online banking if your bank offers this service. Provide your financial institution with your account number and the name "University of Toronto" for their telephone or online banking service. Your account number is displayed on the invoice format of your account on the Student Web Service. The account number consists up to the first five characters of your surname (in capital letters) and 10 numbers which is your student number with leading zeroes. Make sure you distinguish between the letter ‘O’ and the number ‘zero’.

Sample account numbers

• Anthony Cho’s student number is 123456789; his account number is CHO0123456789.
• Jane Seto-Paul’s student number is 987654321; hyphens and spaces are not used, so her account number is SETOP0987654321.
• Christine Elias’ student number is 934578; her account number is ELIAS000934578.

Be sure to make a note of the confirmation number in case there is a delay in processing your payment. If you pay after August 19, make sure you get proof of payment, and proof of the date you paid, and show it to your college registrar’s office as soon as possible.

Official Registration

Registration will occur automatically if you pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by August 19. If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by August 19, you will be removed from your courses at any time. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University.

Just taking courses starting in January?

If you enrol in 2010 winter session courses only, you must pay at least the first installment of fees by August 19 in order to avoid being removed from your courses. If you enrol in 2010 winter session courses only after August 19, you must pay at least the first installment of fees as soon as possible or risk removal from the course(s).

Owe fees from a previous session?

Students with outstanding financial obligations to the University (including tuition and residence charges) must pay their fees in full before registering in the next academic session. Fees payments will be applied first to outstanding debt from previous sessions before being applied to the 2009-2010 fall-winter sessions. Please ensure that your payment is sufficient to cover all arrears as well as the minimum first payment, or you won’t be registered.

OSAP deferrals

If you have no outstanding fees from previous sessions and if you applied for OSAP by the specified deadline (see below), you may request deferral of your fees payment. This deferral is not automatic! The deferral must be completed at Student Accounts or your college registrar’s office by August 19 or you will be removed from your courses. For details, see the Student Accounts web site or contact your college registrar’s office.

Returning students should apply for OSAP by May 31 and new students by June 30. It is important that you meet these deadlines; if you do so, you may request a fees deferral, your OSAP entitlement will be determined before classes begin, and you can budget accordingly.

If you need to defer your fees but did not apply for OSAP by the deadline you should go to Admissions & Awards, 315 Bloor Street West, to request a deferral form.
