Your money

New bursary for full-time students
The Tuition Reinvestment Bursary is designed to help full-time students with demonstrated financial need.

Winter 2021 general fees
Campus Recreation, Athletics and UPASS charges aren't being charged for Winter 2021. If you've had these fees assessed and paid them, you'll have had the fees reversed. If the reversal resulted in a credit on your student account, the credit will automatically apply to winter term fees, or you can request a refund through Student Centre.

Winter loan disbursement
If you applied for government student aid for winter 2021 and your loan has been confirmed, you can expect funds to be in your personal bank account the week of January 4. Remember to initiate your tuition fee payment through online banking before Jan. 29 (the fee payment deadline).
