Once a student has registered they are then responsible for the payment of any assessed fees. Fees are due upon assessment. A statement of tuition, student fees and other balances owing will be sent to students on a regular basis, however payment is due regardless of whether or not a statement is received. Students should not wait to receive a statement of fees owing before making payment. To determine the current amount owing, please call U-STAR, Tel: 306-938-3900 and invoke the List Fees and Overdue Information function (option #4 on the U-STAR menu). This is particularly important if any class changes have been made. This function is available to ALL students except Graduate Students, regardless of method of registration.

Fees for classes in the above terms are due on the dates specified above regardless of the day a specific class starts. Tuition for classes spanning both terms will be split between the terms: half will be due on the Term 1 due date and half will be due on the Term 2 due date.
Student fees are due on the due date of first term in which a student is registered in a given session.
If payment is not received on or before these deadlines, a Late Payment Fee equal to 1.5% will be charged monthly on any past due balance. Amounts that remain past due will be charged the Late Payment Fee on a monthly basis until the balance is paid in full. Students who add a class after a payment deadline must pay their fees immediately for that class or risk incurring a Late Payment Fee.
Failure to make payment by the stated deadline will result in the withholding of future services by the university and in some cases may result in the termination of student status. Students will not receive grades or transcripts, will not receive their parchments upon graduation and are not eligible for re-registration until all overdue accounts have been cleared with the University. Non-payment of tuition and fees does not constitute an official withdrawal from the university.

Method of Payment
The regular hours of business are 08:30 to 16:30, Monday through Friday.
Cash, Cheque, Interac Debit Card, Visa, Mastercard, telephone or internet banking, are all acceptable methods of payment. Students are strongly encouraged to make payment by telephone or internet banking service or at a financial institution in order to avoid line-ups.
If you have subscribed to your bank's telephone or internet banking service, you can pay your tuition using this method. The account number for the University of Saskatchewan is your student number. The University is registered with the following banks: Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto Dominion Bank and most Credit Unions.
If you have received a statement in the mail, it can be paid at any financial institution or ATM in Canada. The detachable portion of the statement has microencoding that will allow it to be processed by the financial institution. Bring the original statement along with a method of payment (cash, cheque, bank draft, money order) to the financial institution. Please note that financial institutions cannot accept payment by Visa or Mastercard without taking a cash advance which will result in interest charges on your Visa or Mastercard account. To pay at an ATM, include the stub portion along with the payment in the envelope provided by the ATM and follow the on-screen prompts. Payments will be considered to be received by the University on the day that payment is made at the financial institution or ATM as indicated by the bank stamp on the back of the payment stub.
If mailing fees, forward cheque or money order (on which the student number is clearly written) to Student Accounts and Treasury. Cheques or money orders should be made payable to "University of Saskatchewan". Cash should not be sent in the mail. Payments sent through the mail must be received by the payment deadline to avoid late payment charges.
Canada Student Loans - To receive university confirmation of enrolment for a Canada Student Loan, students must present the approved loan form* if they have registered using U-STAR. Students not eligible to register using U-STAR must present the approved loan form* along with proof of registration (i.e., the confirmation copy of their Registration Form). It is university policy that total assessed fees will be deducted from Canada Student Loans, unless students are able to produce proof that fees have already been paid. Students with out-of-province loans wishing to pay tuition and students fees for Term 1 only must present a Student Financial Assistance Branch Notice of Assessment indicating further loan disbursements. Without this document, the tuition and student fees for the full year will be deducted. Installment payments will not be allowed.
*Student loan forms cannot be signed prior to 30 days before the start date of classes.
Scholarships - All scholarships administered through Student Accounts and Treasury are first applied to total assessed tuition and student fees for the session. If the applied scholarship results in a credit balance on the student's account, a refund will be issued. Students should allow 2-4 weeks from the payment deadline for the credit balance to be processed.
All administrative fees are continually subject to review.
