Release of Information: The privacy of our student's personal information is important to us. Due to privacy legislation we will not release your personal information to anyone (e.g. parents, spouse, friends) unless authorized by you to do so.

Registration Changes
When students add their first course, the fees due date is set. For part-time students, if additional courses are added after the due date listed on the online statement of account, the payment of these added course(s) is due no later than 10 days from the date of adding the course(s) in order to avoid the late payment penalty.
Students who do not withdraw from their courses properly will be responsible for payment of the course(s). Withdrawing from courses after the withdrawal deadline will cause students to be assessed cancellation and additional fees based on the date of withdrawal. Students are responsible for paying this balance upon withdrawal. The Office of the Registrar reserves the right to remove students from courses for non-payment of fees.
Part-time students registering in second term half courses should refer to their Statement of Account, available through the Student Center, to confirm their tuition fee due date.

International University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP)
UHIP is mandatory health insurance coverage for non-Canadian residents and their families. The UHIP fee is included on your Statement of Account. Additional premiums are payable for eligible family members. Students will receive an e-mail to their Western e-mail account once their UHIP card is available for printing online. For more information on UHIP and opting out , visit the International and Exchange Student Centre UHIP website.
Late Payment Penalties
Late penalties will be assessed monthly at a rate of 1.5% of the overdue balance. For example, based on an overdue balance of $4,500, the interest charges would be approximately $2.25 per day. The monthly accumulation of these charges will be added to accounts on the last business day of each month. Please ensure your tuition payment reaches our office by the tuition deadline to avoid such penalties.
