Student's Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the student to:

  1. Familiarize him/herself with both the academic and financial regulations of Algoma University. This includes payment of fees, schedule of fees, refund policies, and deadline dates.
  2. Regularly view the status of his/her financial obligation. Algoma University is not required to mail invoices in order to prompt payment. To determine account balances, students can access their Account Statements through the online Student Portal.
  3. Be aware of the policies surrounding “OSAP Deferral of Fees/Deposits Deadlines” and “OSAP Redirection of Funding to Fees” if the student is intending to use OSAP to help pay fees owing to Algoma U. Students receiving other forms of student aid are required to follow the same dates and deadlines. Upon request, those students who have applied for student aid funding on time and have received their assessment may be asked to provide proof of the assessment to the Student Accounts Office.
  4. Failure to pay outstanding fees may result in deregistration. Algoma University reserves the right to deregister students from courses for non-payment; however, non-payment does not constitute proper withdrawal from courses. In the event of deregistration, the student will remain financially responsible for all tuition and related fees. Non-payment of fees will also result in prohibited registration for future courses, inability to obtain statements of academic standing, transcript requests, and/or other matters relating to academic progress until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.
