Payment of Fees as Confirmation of Registration

Balance of fees must be paid or notice of financial assistance provided, before the deadlines for any session, whether or not a fee statement has been received. The deadlines are as follows: Spring Session - May 16, 2005; Summer Session - July 6, 2005; Fall Session - September 23, 2005; and Winter Session - January 20, 2006.

Fees for consecutive sessions may be paid before the May or September deadlines.

Method of Payment

Students may pay their fees (including registration deposit) by cash, cheque, money order, debit card, Visa or MasterCard using the following methods:

(a) mail a cheque or money order to the Fee Office (122 MacKimmie Library Block, University of Calgary, 2500 University Drive N.W., Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4);
(b) place a cheque or money order in the Fee Office drop box (located beside room 122 MacKimmie Library Block);

(c) through Telephone/Internet Banking Services. The University of Calgary is listed with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank, Scotiabank, and TD Canada Trust;
(d) call the Telephone Registration System at 220-7000. Visa and MasterCard accepted;

(e) through the InfoNet (www.ucalgary.ca/infonet). Visa and MasterCard accepted;

(f) in person at the Fee Office (Monday to Friday, 09:00-16:30);
(g) if fees are to be paid from government student loans, application must be made through the University of Calgary Student Awards and Financial Aid Office to ensure automatic deferral of payment of fees. If assistance is being provided from a source other than government loans, a letter from the source concerned must be presented to the Fee Office prior to the prescribed fee deadline date.

Students receiving disbursement of their student loan in one installment will have both Fall and Winter Session fees deducted from the single installment plus any other outstanding debts owing to the University (i.e., room and board, student emergency loans, fines, etc.). Students receiving disbursement of their loan in two installments will have Fall Session fees deducted from the first installment and Winter Session fees deducted from the second installment. Other amounts owing to the University may be deducted from either or both of the installments. The Fall Session non-refundable $100.00 registration deposit cannot be deferred and must be paid at the time of registration.

If financial assistance is refused, the fees must be paid within ten days. The letter of refusal from Alberta Learning Students Finance must be produced to avoid the late payment penalty. It should be noted that students will not have their registration cancelled if financial assistance is refused and such students will be liable for tuition and general fees owing for the session.

Late Payment of Fees

Students whose fees are not paid by the prescribed deadlines and who have not applied for financial assistance will not have their course registrations cancelled and will be indebted to the University for their tuition and general fees. A $60.00 penalty will be levied for late payment of fees.

Delinquent Student Accounts

Any current or former student with an overdue debt to the University of Calgary, including any administrative department and the Students' Union or Graduate Students' Association, will not be allowed to register, will not receive transcripts of grades and may also be denied access to other University services until the outstanding account is settled in full or until an acceptable arrangement is made. Delinquent student accounts will be referred to a collection agency.

Students are encouraged to consult with the University's Student Awards and Financial Aid Office or the Counselling Centre if they are having difficulty meeting their financial obligations.

Notes:

1. A $10.00 administrative fee will be assessed in addition to the amount owing.

2. This policy pertains to students enrolled in all courses offered by the University of Calgary.

Fee Refunds

No tuition or general fee refunds will be made where the official date of withdrawal is subsequent to September 23, 2005 for full or Fall Session courses or January 20, 2006 for Winter Session courses. Where fees have been paid from a government student loan, any refund will be forwarded to the agency that negotiated the loan to be applied towards the student's outstanding loan(s).
