Students are generally considered adults in the eyes of Canadian laws. This means that in addition to having legal responsibilities, your child has legal rights as well. The University of Ottawa is required to protect the personal information of all its students. Only students have access to the information in their file, unless they have given express consent for a third party to access this information.

Students can get the balance of their account online by viewing their statement of account in uoZone, under the Applications tab in the top menu, select Student Center. A PDF version of their statement can be downloaded and printed.

The University of Ottawa does not produce invoices. You must refer to the statement of account which is updated on a daily basis.

The cost can vary depending on the whether the student is attending full time or part time, studying at the undergraduate or graduate level and depends on the program and the student’s legal status in Canada (i.e., citizen or permanent resident vs. foreign student). For specific costs and more information, please visit the tuition fees section of the University’s website.
