3.	Payment of Fees

Master of Accountancy

The program fee is payable in two installments at the time of registration for each of the two terms, ($2,400.00 in January and $2,373.60 in September).

Master of Arts, Master of Science and Doctoral Programs

Full-time

Fees for full-time students are on a term by term basis and are payable at the time of registration for each term.

Part-time

Fees for part-time students are payable by term at the time of registration for each term.

Note: Students who are paid by the University as teaching or research assistants may make arrangements to pay their fees through payroll deduction. Fellowships and scholarships administered by the University will be applied first to fees.

Master of Education

Fees are payable in full by the due date for each term as published in the MEd registration guide.

4. Non-payment of Fees and Penalties

Registration will not be processed unless all previous debts to the University have been paid.

Full-time and part-time students who have not paid their fees (or arranged for payroll deduction) by the prescribed due dates will be assessed service charges on the outstanding balance. These charges will continue to be assessed on the unpaid balance at monthly intervals.

Failure to comply with University regulations regarding payments owed to the University may result in the cancellation of the student's registration or withdrawal from the program. This process does not reduce the amount of fees owing or waive the University's legal right to collect outstanding fees.

Academic sanctions are applied to any student who has an outstanding financial obligation to the University. The following sanctions will be imposed:

	denial of registration for a term
	withholding academic results
	not issuing academic transcripts
	withholding degree
	no scheduling of thesis defense

The above sanctions shall be in force until such time as indebtedness has been cleared to the satisfaction of the University.
