Tuition & Residence Billing
Your Due Dates
Tuition and residence fees are due in your Western account* by:
- August 1, 2024 for first year students
- August 15, 2024 for upper-year students
*Online bank payments take 3-5 days to credit to your account. Pay early to avoid late fees.
Paying in Installments
You have two payment options:
Standard Payment Plan
Pay your installments by the due dates on your Statement of Account in your Student Center. You will automatically be on this payment plan unless you reach out. Either:
- Pay all Tuition & Fees by the due date above, or
- Pay your first installment by the due date above and the remaining balance by December 2, 2024
Flexible Payment Plan
New for 2024-25, Western is offering students a payment plan in six installments. Learn more about information about eligibility, deadlines and cost.Statement of Account
If you are an Undergraduate student and have registered for Fall/Winter 2024 courses, your tuition and/or residence fees can be viewed together on your Student Center beginning in mid-July by clicking on the Student Financials tile > Fees and Refunds > Statement of Account.
The Statement of Account will provide you with your account information including charges, payments, current balance, and due date. In the upper right-hand corner, you can click on "printer friendly form" to generate an HTML printout of your fees statement, should you need a paper copy.
Late Payment Penalties
Avoid late-payment penalties by ensuring your payment is received by Western on or before the deadline indicated in your statement. It takes 2-3 business days to receive Canadian bank payments and 3-5 business days for international. 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.
Students Staying in Residence
Residence charges will be applied to your statement of account in late July. To secure your spot in residence please ensure your payment is made by the deadline on your statement.
Anticipated Aid
If you have an amount in Anticipated Aid (such as scholarships and/or bursaries), you may deduct this amount from the first installment or total balance owing on your statement.
Withdrawal
Non-payment of fees does not cancel registration in courses. 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.
Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) Withdrawals
Order your Verification of Enrollment Letter now to support your RESP withdrawal. Withdrawal requests can take several weeks to be released by the bank. Letters can be ordered on your Student Center once you are enrolled in 3.5 credits or more.

OSAP
If your OSAP processing is complete, you will see a link at the top of your bill labeled "What do I owe in addition to OSAP?". Follow the link to see the amount that you need to pay in addition to OSAP to cover your first installment.
If you have not yet paid your first installment in full at the time your enrolment to OSAP is confirmed, OSAP will send Western the minimum amount due on your statement to pay off your first installment. OSAP will then deposit any remaining balance of your first installment of OSAP into your bank account.
Western will report to OSAP all scholarship, award and bursary funding you are receiving from Western. If you have included any Western funding on your OSAP application, you must contact our office by submitting a Virtual Helpline to request that the Western funding be removed from your application. Please indicate that your question is related to “OSAP (Fall/Winter)”, choose the "Change in Scholarship/Bursary/Award" option, and specify the number of scholarships or awards you are receiving from sources other than Western. Note: you are still responsible for reporting any external funding (i.e. not awarded by Western) on your OSAP application.
Not Attending Western?
If you are registered in courses and have decided not to attend Western, you must drop the course(s) or contact us through our Virtual Helpline to inform us you are not attending.
Failure to do this will result in you getting charged full tuition and getting a grade of 'F' in the courses.
