OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT - SPECIAL CATEGORIES (not applicable for the tuition deposit)

If for any reason, fees can't be paid by the due date, the following special categories may be used to complete registration.

Certain professional programs require that fees are paid by certified cheque/money order and therefore the following special categories do not apply. Specific payment instructions and due dates are provided on the "Registration Fee Bill".

Applicants to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) and Other Provincial Student Loan Assistance Programs

Students wishing to pay their fees through OSAP must apply for funding before June 30, 2002 and Loans must be picked up by September 13th, 2002 from Student Financial Services, Room 190. If your OSAP/Government student loan entitlement has been confirmed, the minimum payment is deferred until you pick up your loan in September (Visit the OSAP website at http://osap.gov.on.ca/ to confirm your loan entitlement). Students are responsible for paying any outstanding balance that is not covered by your loan by the due date on your bill. Failure to do so will result in a late payment charge.

Students applying for OSAP after June 30, 2002 will not be granted a deferment based on OSAP and will be expected to pay by the due date on the bill.

External Sponsors

Students whose fees will be paid by an external sponsor must provide proof of funding for each session to Student Financial Services-Office of the Registrar prior to the deadline on the "Registration Fee Bill". In order for the University to bill the agency, the letter must include sufficient information such as: name of the sponsor, amount of the award, billing address and student's name and student number.

Students are responsible for the payment of any fees which exceeds the amount allowed and paid by the sponsor.

Scholarship Recipients (University-Administered)

Scholarships administered by The University of Western Ontario will be automatically applied towards outstanding tuition fees. The scholarship value will be reflected on the "Registration Fee Bill". If a student is expecting a scholarship but no amount is reflected on the "Registration Fee Bill", the student should notify Student Financial Services-Office of the Registrar prior to the fee payment deadline. Students are responsible for the payment of any fees which exceeds the amount of the scholarship. Funds in excess of the required fees will be paid by cheque and mailed to the student.

Faculty Dependent's Scholarship Tuition Plan

Students who qualify for this scholarship should:

obtain a form from Student Financial Services - Office of the Registrar;
submit the completed and signed form to Student Financial Services - Office of the Registrar;
pay the balance of fees by the specified fee payment deadline.

Note: Scholarships will be automatically applied towards outstanding tuition fees for UWO students only.

Students are responsible for the payment of any fees which exceeds the amount of the scholarship. Where fees have been paid in full at registration prior to the scholarship processing, a cheque will be mailed to the student.

Senior Citizens' Bursary

Contact Student Financial Services-Office of the Registrar for information. Also see SENIOR CITIZENS in the ADMISSION section ().

Special Fee Deferments

In special circumstances, if a student is unable to pay the required fees by the fee payment due date, they need to go to Room 190, Stevenson-Lawson Building to made deferment arrangements. Fee deferments are not granted for full fees. Special deferments are available to students on the basis of proven financial need.

All special deferments are dependant upon a previously established good credit rating with the University Student Financial Services. Therefore, students who are taking their first course at Western will not be considered for a deferment.

Note: Deferments may be cancelled if a student fails to comply with the terms of the deferment or new information is introduced regarding the ability of a student to pay outstanding fees.
