Fee deferrals

The tuition payment deadline date for the Fall 2024 Semester is Monday, August 19, 2024. Read information on how to pay your fees on this page.

If you have applied for a student loan and are relying on it to pay your tuition fees, you will not receive the funds by the tuition payment deadline date, therefore, a fee deferral must be entered onto your student record before the payment deadline date to avoid being dropped from classes. In order to be eligible for a fee deferral and avoid being dropped from your courses for non-payment, you must qualify for a fee deferral under one of the following categories: 

For courses added between June 25 to August 18, 2024.

BC Student Loan

  1. If you have applied for a BC Full-time Student Loan, before August 9, an automatic fee deferral should be applied to your student record unless there are errors with your student loan application. (Please note, it takes several days from the time you apply for a student loan to when the information appears on Ïã¸ÛÁùºÐ±¦µä¿ª½±½á¹û's student records system for the fee deferral to be applied)
  2. Check if your fee deferral is in place (August 12 - 18) by logging in to your myAccount > Registration > Registration and Schedule > Prepare for Registration > Select a term.
  3. If you do not see the Fee Deferral in your myAccount by Monday, August 19 at 9:00 AM, please contact your SSA or Enrolment Services and show proof that you have applied for a BC Student loan (ex. a screen shot of your SABC application successfully submitted)

Partially completed applications with missing documents will not be accepted or processed.

***Fee Deferrals expire at the end of the first month of the semester, unless otherwise specified in your Account. Please check your myAccount to make sure payment has been received.

Students with expired fee deferrals may incur late fees and receive a financial hold on their account.***
