Payment Options

Mohawk College is committed to providing students with access to the services and resources covered by ancillary fees. Mohawk and the Mohawk Students' Association (MSA) continue to review fees to ensure that charges are equitable and support student success and wellness. Descriptions for each ancillary fee can be found on the Compulsory Ancillary Fees page.

Payment options

When you receive your Fee Statement you must choose one of the following options in order to secure your seat and select your timetable. Always refer to your fee statement for your specific details and due dates. Once you select your timetable you will be prompted to pay the balance or defer your fees (if eligible) in order to save your timetable selection and formally register. Your total balance owing may change if you do not select a full course load at the time of registration according to your program of studies.

Option 1: Pay the full fees

Pay the total amount owing by the tuition deposit deadline indicated on your Fee Statement. The tuition deposit is applied to the balance due for the term when selecting your timetable to register. It is not an additional fee.

Option 2: Pay the tuition deposit by the due date and the balance when you select your timetable to register

A tuition deposit is required once per academic year or when switching programs. A deposit is an amount paid toward your total tuition and fees indicated on your fee statement or your account summary, not an additional amount. Domestic students pay the $250 non-refundable tuition deposit by the due date on your Fee Statement. The non-refundable tuition deposit is not covered by OSAP. A $150 deposit late fee will be charged after the due date listed on your Fee Statement (OSAP and non-OSAP students). Payments made after the due date do not guarantee a spot in the program. Please contact a Student Services Representative when paying past the tuition deposit due date to confirm space remains in the program.

Next, you’ll need to pay the balance of your full tuition and ancillary fees when you select your timetable to register.

OSAP Students: Your tuition deposit is not covered by OSAP. You may defer only the remaining balance of your fees owing if you have applied for and are eligible for OSAP. You eligibility to defer fees will be presented to you at the time you click 'Submit to register'. If your student account is not set up for OSAP deferral you will not be able to defer your balance when you register to select your timetable. Contact Financial Assistance for OSAP support.

Applicants with conditional offers are subject to the same non-refundable tuition deposit and payment deadlines as well as any late fees. Refer to your fee statement for your offer and payment deadlines.

Option 3: External sponsorship
