Installment Plan

Effective September 1, 2005, graduate students who are being paid through the University of Saskatchewan payroll department as a Graduate Teaching Assistant or Graduate Research Assistant are able to request that their tuition fees be paid in monthly installments.

Installment payments are deducted from their bank account and credited directly to their student account on a monthly basis. Graduate students may authorize bank account deductions through the Student Accounts Office (Room E 40, Admin).

Installment Procedure

• Register for your classes online and check to make sure all of your tuition and fees are assessed. Contact the College of Graduate Studies for assessment questions.
• Go to: Student Accounts Office, Room E40, Main Floor Administration Building.
• Complete and authorize a Pre-Authorized Debit Form (obtain from Student Accounts Office).
• Attach a void cheque.
• To avoid a late payment penalty the Pre-Authorized Debit form must be authorized and received by the Student Accounts Office prior to the fee payment deadline date for the given session.
• A $40.00 installment fee must be paid in advance.
• Installment privileges are denied if fees are outstanding from a previous term.
• It is the student’s responsibility to determine if any money is owed from previous terms by checking on PAWS.
• If an installment payment is returned to the University due to insufficient funds, the Installment Plan will be cancelled and the student will be subject to Late Payment Fees equal to 1.5% of the outstanding balance and any other University penalties that may apply.
• Fees are divided evenly by the number of months as follows:
  • FALL & WINTER TERMS October to March (6 months)
  • WINTER TERM only January to March (3 months)
  • SPRING & SUMMER TERMS May to July (3 months)

Subsequent increases or decreases in fees are added to or deducted from the final payment.

If the student ceases to be an employee, the unpaid balance on their account becomes subject to late payment penalties of 1.5% per month.

Payment Deadlines

Tuition is assessed when you register for classes and is owed upon assessment.

The last day to pay before late payment penalties are applied is:

	Late Payment Penalty Date	Withdrawal of Service Date
Fall Term (Sep - Dec)	September 30, 2010	October 1, 2010
Winter Term (Jan - Apr)	January 31, 2011	February 1, 2011
Spring Term (May - Jun)	May 15, 2011	May 15, 2011
Summer Term (Jul - Aug)	July 5, 2011	July 5, 2011

Late Payment Penalties: A late payment penalty equal to 1.5% per month (19.6%/year) of the outstanding amount is charged on the due date. After the due date, unpaid past due amounts are charged a 1.5% late payment penalty at the end of each month until paid in full.

Withdrawal of Service: Students are subject to a withdrawal of some University services, including the ability to register in additional classes, access grades or obtain transcripts/certificates if the amount owing is not paid in full by the dates indicated.

Account Information

A statement of amounts owing will be mailed to all students with outstanding accounts on a regular basis (usually the middle of each month).

BUT don't wait for a statement - you can check your balance owing anytime in the Tuition and Fees channel in PAWS.
