Admission deposit payment dates
The deadline for paying your admission deposit is specified in your offer of admission and can be found in your Admission File, both available via uoZone.
This non-refundable deposit secures your place in the program to which you have been admitted and, if applicable, allows you to obtain a provincial attestation letter.
If you have trouble accessing uoZone, contact Information Technology.
University fees payment dates
University fees are payable by the due date indicated on your Statement of account. All the important dates can also be found on the Important dates and deadlines page. If you register after the published deadline, you must pay your fees as soon as your course selection is approved.
To access your statement of account log in to uoZone, click the Applications tab, select Student Center and click on Statement of Account.
If you have trouble accessing uoZone, contact Information Technology.
For questions about your tuition fees or your financial account, contact InfoService.
Late payment
Students are required to pay their fees before the due date published on their statement of account or to make satisfactory payment arrangements.
If we do not receive your payment on time, a late payment administrative fee of $60* plus interest at the prime rate of the National Bank of Canada plus 9% is added automatically to your account.
In accordance with Academic Regulation C-9.4, students with an outstanding balance or other financial obligations to the University cannot obtain any official document from the University (certification, transcript, diploma, etc.) attesting the completion of a degree, certificate or diploma.
The University of Ottawa uses different ways to inform students about their student account, including our website, uoZone and email and more. We do not cancel late payment penalties because you did not check your @uOttawa email account or uoZone on a regular basis.
If you have trouble accessing your email account or uoZone, call Computing and Communications Services at 613-562-5800 ext. 6555. You are responsible for paying your tuition fees within the prescribed time limits regardless of whether you receive a notification or not, because you have online access to your statement of account at all times.
Mandatory meal plans (if applicable)
If you have not paid the mandatory meal plan portion of your student account, you may be denied access to the 24/7 All-you-care-to-eat dining hall until you have paid the mandatory meal plan in full. Terms and conditions section 14.2
The University is not responsible for delays beyond its control.
*These administrative fees have been approved by the Board of Governors.
Financial planning
Please note that the Financial Aid and Awards Service offers students not only financial aid, bursaries and scholarships, but also other services like counselling to help you manage your finances, so you can start, continue and complete your postsecondary education more easily.
