Overdue Accounts
All tuition and fees assessed by the University must be paid in full or arrangements must be made to settle the debt.
Students' accounts are considered delinquent if they are not paid in full within 60 days after the bill is issued. 捆绑SM社区 places a financial hold on these accounts, preventing students from obtaining official academic transcripts and from accessing Minerva for any registration functions.
Interest: Interest is charged on overdue balances at the monthly rate of 1.24%, multiplied by the balance outstanding at the end of the month (14.9% annually). The rate is evaluated each Spring, and then is set for the following academic year.
The University has no obligation to issue any transcript of record, award any diploma, or re-register a student if you do not pay your tuition fees, library fees, residence fees or loans by their due date.
Information for Registered Students
If you register for a term but still owe amounts from previous terms, you must either pay your account or make payment arrangements with the Student Accounts Office before the end of the course add/drop period. If you have financial difficulty, first contact the Student Aid Office (Brown Student Services Building, Room 3200; 514-398-6013) to discuss the possibility of obtaining financial aid.
If you fail to pay the previous term's fees or to make arrangements to settle your debt prior to the add/drop deadline, the University will cancel your registration in the current and subsequent terms.
Information for Students Who Are No Longer Registered
When students fail to settle their debt or reach a suitable payment arrangement, or fail to provide the Student Accounts Office with up-to-date contact information, the University refers these delinquent accounts to a collection agency. If neither the University nor the collection agency is able to collect on the account, the University reserves the right to have the student reported to a credit bureau. You should be aware that the University is entitled to use all legal means to obtain payment and that students are responsible for all costs associated with such actions.
Cancelling Registration for Non-Payment
In accordance with the fee policy stated in Overdue Accounts.
The Student Accounts Office will make all reasonable efforts to notify you if your account is delinquent, or if you owe more than $100 from the previous term, before the University cancels your registration for non-payment. The cancellation is effective the last day of the add/drop period unless you settle the account or make payment arrangements with the University by then. If you pay or make payment arrangements with the Student Accounts Office after the add/drop deadline and you want the University to reinstate your registration for the current or subsequent term(s), you must complete the Request for Reinstatement form (www.mcgill.ca/files/student-accounts/RequestforReinstatementForm.pdf) and submit it to the Student Accounts Office, which will forward it to Enrolment Services for approval and processing. Your fee account will be charged $150 (Reinstatement Penalty) for the processing of the re-enrollment.
Acceptance of Fees vs Academic Standing
Acceptance of fees by the University in no way guarantees that students will receive academic permission to pursue their studies. If it is subsequently determined that your academic standing does not permit you to continue, all fees paid in advance will be refunded by applying to the Student Accounts Office.
Fees for Students in Two Programs
Students in two programs normally are billed additional fees for their second program. Depending on the level of the two programs (e.g., one at the undergraduate versus one at the graduate level), you may incur both society and faculty fees and/or additional tuition fees. Consult the Student Accounts website for further details.
You should consult the Fee Coordinator in Enrolment Services for information on tuition fees if you are a student in two programs. Adjustments to bills are made throughout the term in cases where fees cannot be automatically calculated.
Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreements
If you are taking courses as part of the Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement, you are required to pay the fees at your home university. The agreement covers only the transfer of academic credits. International students in undergraduate programs are not usually permitted to take IUT courses. IUT students taking courses at 捆绑SM社区 are required to pay additional course charges that are compulsory upon registration, such as special activity charges or course material costs. The University reserves the right to refuse course registrations in non-government-funded activities.
