Payment

Tuition and student fees are normally automatically charged to students at the time of registration (graduate students who began their program prior to May 1, 2005, are assessed manually). Registration automatically results in a financial obligation.

Payment Due Dates

In order to avoid Late Payment fees, tuition and fees for classes in the above terms are due on the specified dates regardless of what day a specific class starts. Tuition and fees for classes spanning both terms will be split between the terms: half will be due on the Term 1 due date and half will be due on the Term 2 due date. The exception is health and dental fees, which, if assessed, are all owing in Term 1.

Late Payment Fee

If payment is not received on or before the payment due dates, a Late Payment Fee equal to 1.5% will be charged monthly on any past due balance. Amounts that remain past due will be charged the Late Payment Fee on a monthly basis until the balance is paid in full. Students who add a class after a payment deadline are immediately assessed the appropriate tuition and Late Payment Fees.

Failure to make payment by the stated deadline will result in the withholding of future services by the University and in some cases can result in the termination of student status.

Withdrawal of services means students will not receive grades through PAWS, official transcripts, or their parchments upon graduation, and they are not eligible for re-registration until all overdue accounts have been cleared with the University. Nonpayment of tuition and fees does not constitute an official withdrawal from the university.

University services may also be withheld for overdue amounts owing to other university departments or affiliated units.

Withdrawal of Service Dates (Fall & Winter Terms)

Term	Due date
Term 1	October 1, 2008
Term 2	February 1, 2009

If an error is made in assessing a student's account, upon discovery the student's account will be retroactively reassessed and the student notified of any significant amount credited or owing, regardless of whether or not the student has completed the class, graduated, or is no longer attending the University.

Payment Methods

A statement of tuition, student fees and other balances owing will be sent to students on a regular basis, however, payment is due regardless of whether or not a statement is received. In fact, depending on when students register and/or add classes, they may not receive a statement. You can view your statement in PAWS.

The stub portion of the statement can be paid at any bank or financial institution. You can pay your tuition using telephone or internet banking. The account number for the University is your student number. The University is registered with all major banks and most Credit Unions. Acceptable forms of in-person payment include cash, cheque, money order, debit card, Visa, or MasterCard.

Payments sent through the mail must be received by the due date.

Payments should be directed to:

Student Accounts and Treasury
E40 – 105 Administration Place
Saskatoon, SK  S7N 5A2

Consult the Calendar for complete fee payment information.

Refunds

Any credit resulting from dropping a class will be applied against any other tuition or fees owed to the University, either for the current term or the next subsequent term. If no monies are owed, students may request a refund through the Request for Refund Form. If a student has negotiated a student loan, any credit will be returned to the loan provider so as to reduce the balance owing.
