Paying with OSAP
If you wish to pay your tuition fees with your
OSAP loan you must apply for OSAP by June

to cover your first installment of tuition fees,
you are responsible for paying your difference
by the due date. If you pay in two installments
(September and January) with your OSAP you
will be charged the $54.00 deferment charge.
Note: OSAP loans are issued in 2 installments,
60% in September and the remainder in January.
Paying Your Tuition and Fees

online through student.uwo.ca. A PIN and

hard copy of your fee bill will not be mailed.
Tuition fees for first-year students are due August
3. They are due August 16 for all upper year
students. You must check your account balance
online.

isn’t showing…
Wait two weeks from the time you made
your payment. If it has been longer than two
weeks, go back to your bank and trace your
funds. Keep checking student.uwo.ca to see
if your fees are posted.
Fee Deferment
Students using OSAP to pay their tuition
fees and who have an assessment that covers
the first installment fully, will be granted
an automatic fee deferral until the loans are
available in September. The second installment
of tuition will be due in January. Students
receiving OSAP funding may wish to pay
in two installments. Information about fee
deferment will be available on the fee bill.
Students can avoid the deferment fee if full
tuition is paid by September 30.
Avoiding Additional Charges

of tuition by the deadline date. Be sure to contact
Student Financial Services if you have any
questions about fee payment.
How to Make a Tuition Fee Payment
Payments for tuition fees can be made via
internet banking through any Canadian bank.
Your student number is your account number
for internet payments. Be sure to pay in advance
of the due date to ensure payment is received
on time/by the deadline. Students can pay in

Student Services Building with cheque or debit.
