Students are considered enrolled if they are enrolled in classes for the current academic year. Ryerson reserves the right to prohibit enrollment or withdraw a student who does not maintain good financial standing at the end of an academic term. Students are required to pay their full academic year fees prior to the start of Fall classes. To remain in good financial standing with the University, a student must pay 60 percent of fees for the current academic year by the start of Fall classes and the balance including late fees, by the start of Winter classes. If you elect to make the minimum payment, a late fee service charge of 1.5% per month (19.6% effective annual rate) will be levied beginning in September, and each month thereafter against all unpaid fees.

FEES ASSESSMENT POLICY

Fees are assessed each term/semester for the total number of enrolled courses and their respective course unit values as assigned per University policy. Program fee rates are approved annually by the Board of Governors. Fees are charged on an annual basis and all fees are due by the commencement of classes in September. Students are academically and financially responsible for all enrolled courses and fees incurred unless they withdraw by the appropriate University deadline dates.

SENIOR CITIZENS

Students who are 60 years of age or over at the start of the term will have their fee charges waived for their day school credit course(s)/programs. Please note that Departmental Ancillary Fees are not waived.

COURSE AUDIT STUDENTS

Students may only audit lecture courses; this is subject to approval of the teaching department. (Refer to www.ryerson.ca/studentguide/MoneyMatters.html for a complete explanation and breakdown of fees charged.)

SPECIAL STUDENTS

Special Students are individuals who have not been admitted to an undergraduate program, but are allowed to take program courses providing space is available. Special Students pay a fee per course unit per term, for all courses as outlined in the calendar, plus any applicable University ancillary fees.

FEES STATEMENTS

Fees Statements are mailed in July, for the upcoming academic year to all:

• returning students who participated in the course intention process for the coming academic year.
• newly approved students who have confirmed acceptance of their approval.

Students who make adjustments to their academic record at any time are responsible for any fee changes that may occur and should come to the Student Fees Office or go to https://my.ryerson.ca for an updated Fees account calculation. Please examine your statement very carefully and direct any questions regarding Fees to the Student Fees Office (416) 979-5015.

Non-receipt of a Fees Statement does not constitute a valid reason for non-payment of fees. The student is responsible for ensuring that their fees are paid on a timely basis.
