Registrations and Deposits
A student who completes and submits a Registration Form or completes Online Registration or authorizes registration through e-mail correspondence is considered to have registered at Algoma University and is liable for payment in full of all tuition and related fees associated with that registration.
- Upon registration, domestic students are required to pay a $200 non-refundable deposit per term ($100 for Spring).
- Students in receipt of OSAP funding that have completed their aid application in full by the fee deferral deadline may defer their deposit requirements according to OSAP deferral deadlines.
- International students currently living and studying in Canada, as well as exchange or sponsored students, are required to pay a non-refundable $1,000 deposit.
- International students applying from overseas are required to pay the deposit outlined in their Algoma University ‘Letter of Admission’ (LOA).
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.
How to Make a Payment
It is important to note that invoices on fees owing to Algoma University are not mailed or emailed on a regular basis. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to ensure that all fees are paid on time. Students can view their current account balance via their student portal.
