Tuition Fees


Introduction
Top of the page

The Council of Administration sets all Saint Paul University fees and reserves the right to modify the fees and the regulations governing refunds without advance notice.

Students who are officially registered at Saint Paul University must pay tuition fees before the last day to pay tuition fees or as soon as their course selection is approved (late-registration fees may apply). Dates are published in the University calendar. The partial or total reimbursement of tuition fees depends on the official date of withdrawal as registered on the student's file.


Invoicing
Top of the page

The University sends invoices to the mailing address provided in the student's record. It is possible that you may not receive an invoice before the deadline date to pay your fees, if you registered too close to the deadline, if we do not have your correct address or for other reasons. If that is the case you may confirm the amount by consulting the list of tuition and incidental fees or by calling Financial Services at (613) 236-1393 ext 2295.

Students are responsible for paying their tuition fees within the prescribed delays regardless of whether they receive an invoice or not.


Payment Dates
Top of the page

Tuition is payable by the last day to pay tuition fees, or as soon as course selection is approved.

The suggested method of payment is by the internet through your financial institution. If you use another payment method, pay your tuition at least a week prior to the due date in order for it to be processed before that date.

NOTE: Late-registration fees will apply after deadline date for registration.

Registration and modifications completed after the deadline dates to pay fees

Registration or modification to the registration completed after the deadline dates for registration will generate additional fees that must be paid immediately without waiting for an invoice.


Special Students

To avoid late payment penalty and interest, your tuition fees must be paid by payment deadlines. Students who have not paid their tuition fees will be withdrawn from their current session.

NOTE: Credit cards are not accepted for the payment of tuition fees.


Late Payments
Top of the page

Students are required to pay their tuition fees before the prescribed deadline or upon registration. Late-payment fees will apply if you register after the deadline dates.

If you register after these dates, your invoice, which is sent by mail, may not reach you before the deadline for payment of tuition fees. However, your account information is available by contacting the Finance Services by telephone at (613) 236-1393 ext 2295 or by e-mail at finance@ustpaul.ca. You remain responsible for paying your tuition fees before the deadline or upon registration.

Late payment penalties will not be cancelled simply because you have not received an invoice.

Reminder: Tuition fees must be paid before the prescribed deadline dates.

  • If payment is not received by the official deadline date for registration, a late payment penalty of $35 plus interest at the prime rate of the National Bank of Canada plus 4% (currently 6.25% annually) will be added automatically to your account.
  • The University is not responsible for delays beyond its control.

If you experience difficulty making tuition payments by the prescribed deadline dates due to temporary financial problems, contact the Finance Services to discuss solutions (carrying interest). This kind of agreement will cover only tuition fees and incidental fees. At a minimum, all insurance premiums and a payment of $100 per course are payable upon signing the agreement.


Exemptions
Top of the page

To confirm eligibility of exemption from University fees, students must forward the necessary documents to Human Resources before registration.


Returned Cheques
Top of the page

If the bank returns a student's cheque, an administrative fee of $25 is added to the student's account in addition to late payment fees and interest at the prime rate of the National Bank of Canada plus 4% (currently 6.25% annually), if applicable.


Delinquent Accounts
Top of the page

Any fees owed to the Saint Paul University will incur consequences such as: denied registration for the following semester, denied participation in graduation ceremonies, denied the acquisition of academic documents such as a diploma, transcript, letter of permission or any official attestation, until the account is paid in full. This policy applies even if the student has declared bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Act, and equally concerns tuition fees, and all other charges exacted by any University service for example, libraries, parking services, etc.


Refunds
Top of the page

If you decide not to take the courses for which you registered, you must notify the Saint Paul University in writing and withdraw from all courses in person, before the deadline date published in the University calendar.

If a modification to your course selection causes a refund to be produced, the amount will be automatically transferred to the next semester unless a request for reimbursement is made by contacting Financial Services at (613) 236-1393 ext 2295, or by sending an e-mail at finance@ustpaul.ca.

An administrative fee of $30 per course will be charged for refunds. The administrative fees will not be charged if the credited amount is automatically transferred to another semester. No refund will be granted if the request for modification/cancellation is not registered to the student's file before the deadline dates published in the University calendar.


Accident, Dental and Medical Insurance
Top of the page

Membership to a student insurance plan was voted mandatory by the student body. The fee for the plan covers accidents, some medical and dental expenses. Please consult this website for the schedule of benefits available to you under your Group Insurance Plan.

To make the collection of the insurance premiums efficient and inexpensive for the Students' Association, Saint Paul University has agreed to include the charge with the tuition. Therefore, a fee for individual coverage is added to the tuition payment of full-time students and appears on the invoice. It covers the student for a 12-month period starting in September. Family insurance is also available. To receive family coverage, students should contact Saint Paul University Student Association to spusa@ustpaul.ca or 613-236-1393 ext. 3008 or room: 52.

Any student with comparable coverage may opt out of the plan by providing the insurance company with sufficient proof of equivalent coverage before October 1, 2010. To opt-out of the plan you need to print and fill out the Opt-out Form available here. Once completed the form must be sent to SPUSA who will do the necessary to adjust your student account. The reimbursement will become a credit on your Saint Paul University account. If you request a refund by cheque a $25 administrative fee will be deducted from your student account.

Only students who provide sufficient proof of being covered by a comparable health and/or dental coverage may be exempt from paying these insurance fees.

Please note that this renunciation of the insurance plan does not extend in any way to the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) that applies to foreign students. All foreign students are obligated to adhere to UHIP.

Other forms available here:

If you have any questions regarding these forms, please contact your Student Association by e-mail at: spusa@ustpaul.ca or by telephone at (613) 236-1393 ext. 3008.


Foreign Students
Top of the page

All foreign students must purchase the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) at a cost of $720 per person for the period covering September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011. For complete details concerning UHIP, please visit the University Health Insurance Plan website or contact the Finance Services by email at finance@ustpaul.ca or telephone at 613-236-1393 ext 2295.

If the premium is not paid, the student will not be allowed to proceed with registration. Foreign students who have not paid their tuition fees or made special arrangement concerning the payment of their tuition fees with the Finance Services before September 19, 2010 for the Fall session and January 20, 2011 for the Winter session, will be withdrawn from that particular session.

If you pay by bank transfer, see Payment Method for more information.


Income Tax Forms for Students
Top of the page

T4A

You receive a T4A slip if you obtained awards or bursaries from Saint Paul University during the fiscal year (even if the funds come from other agencies or organizations). The slips are mailed to you before the end of February.

T2202A

Saint Paul University mails the T2202A form before the end of February. Note that you don't have to include this form with your income tax; you submit it only if the government asks for it later on. Remember that the T2202A isn't an official receipt, but rather a confirmation of the deductible fees for a given fiscal year. Only the fees you have actually paid or have covered in a formal financial agreement (for example, a promissory note) appear on your T2202A.

For more information on your income tax return, consult the Canada Revenue Agency website.

To inquire about the data on your slips, you can contact us by phone at (613) 236-1393 ext 2381 or in person at the Finance Services or by e-mail at finance@ustpaul.ca. Duplicates from the University cost $5 each.

"RL-8 slip" (Quebec residents)

The RL-8 slip is a tax form of the Ministère du Revenu du Québec and is intended for Quebec residents. A credit for full-time post-secondary studies is determined on the basis of the number of sessions that the student started in the year and completed. The amount is to be claimed in the income tax return of the person claiming the student as a dependant (generally the student's father or mother). This amount does not constitute tuition fees.

To obtain a RL-8 slip by mail, submit your request by phone at (613) 236-1393 ext 2381 or in person at the Finance Services, Room 173 or by e-mail at finance@ustpaul.ca.


Grace Periods for Financial Aid Students
Top of the page

Students who have applied for governmental financial aid can take advantage of a grace period under certain conditions depending on their province of origin.

Ontario
If you have requested and are waiting for financial aid from the government of Ontario and will not be able to pay tuition fees by the due date, you can be granted a grace period until October 15, 2010 for the fall semester and February 15, 2011 for the winter semester, without late charges or interest fees, if you contact the Financial Aid at (613) 236-1393 ext 2295 or by e-mail at financialaid@ustpaul.ca.

Should your tuition fees still remain unpaid after these extension dates, a late payment penalty and incurred interest will apply. They will not be cancelled simply because you have not received your government loan or bursary. The University cannot be held accountable for delays that are not under its control.

Other provinces
If you have requested and are waiting for financial aid from a province other than Ontario and will not be able to pay tuition fees by the due date, you may be granted a grace period until October 15, 2010 for the fall semester and February 15, 2011 for the winter semester, without late charges or interest fees if you contact the Financial Aid at (613) 236-1393 ext 2525 or by e-mail at financialaid@ustpaul.ca.

Should your tuition fees still remain unpaid after these extension dates, a late payment penalty and incurred interest will apply.
