FEES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat is the easiest way to pay fees?Online banking. This will save you a lot oftime and hassle in your 4+ years at U. of T.With online banking you do not need a feesinvoice.

If you applied later, your OSAPwill arrive later.You should have printed an MSFAA (MasterStudent Financial Assistance Agreement)when you printed the signature pages of yourOSAP application. This will allow OSAP todeposit your funding directly into your bankaccount. The MSFAA needs to be submittedto a Canada Post outlet along with yourSIN card, a government issued photo ID andyour banking information (a void cheque orprintout from your bank) once you’ve submittedyour OSAP application online. You willalso need to confirm/update your incomeon the OSAP website after school starts inSeptember. You will receive 60% of yourfunding in September. The remaining 40%will be deposited in January provided youmaintain a 60% course load in each term (ie.3 or more courses in both first and secondterms).Dropping courses can have serious implicationsfor your OSAP.If I’m receiving OSAP and my feesare deferred, when do I have to pay?You should be sure to make a payment towardsyour fees by November 15th in orderto minimize service charges. Most studentswith OSAP can only pay 60% of their fees byNov. because OSAP only provides 60% ofthe loan in 1st term. The remainder is paidwith the 2nd OSAP instalment in January.Some service charges are unavoidable.12 N E W S T U D E N T G U I D E | U N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G E
