Methods of Payment

Memorial University offers students a variety of payment methods, each described in detail below. While tuition fees and student union fees are due once you register, you should arrange to pay your fees, following the instructions below, in time to avoid lining up and to avoid the late payment penalty. Invoices will be mailed three weeks before the first day of classes.

Cash/Debit Card: Must be paid in person at the Cashier's Office. Do not mail cash.

Cheque: May be mailed or delivered in person to the Cashier's Office, OR placed in the student payment drop-off box at the Cashier's Office.

If you are using a cheque to pay fees you are strongly encouraged to mail it to avoid line-ups at the Cashier's office. You may post-date the cheque to September 5, 2012.

Credit Card: You must use Memorial Self-Service. Ensure your payment is received by September 5. Because Memorial Self-Service uses state-of-the-art encryption technology to ensure the security of your data, you might experience difficulty using older browsers. If you do not have a current browser or are uncomfortable using a credit card on the internet, credit card payments may be made in person at the Cashier's office.

Telephone or Online Banking: Customers of most Canadian Chartered Banks who have access to the banks' telephone or online banking systems can pay their fees up to and including September 5 using this service. Further information on the use of this banking system can be obtained from your local branch.

Payroll Deductions: If you choose to pay your fees from your graduate student support, you must make arrangements for payroll deductions on or before September 5 in order to avoid a late payment penalty. In order to have deductions from the pay period on September 20, arrangements must be made by September 5. The policy and form for payroll deductions is available here.

Deductions for the 2012 fall semester will be over eight pay periods commencing on September 20. Payroll deductions are not available for outstanding fees.

Note: Payroll deductions must be completed each September for the academic year.

Student Aid: Important changes to the student loans disbursement process will affect all students who have applied and been approved for funding. See the Provincial Department of Advanced Education and Skills Student Aid website for details.Once your application for financial assistance has been assessed and approved for funding, you will be sent a Notice of Assessment and a Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA). You must complete and mail your MSFAA to the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC) via a designated Canada Post outlet. Once the NSLSC has confirmed receipt of your MSFAA and has received Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment from Memorial, your financial assistance will be deposited to your bank account and/or sent directly to Memorial University to pay tuition fees. This one-time loan agreement is issued for the lifetime of your educational borrowing, provided any break in studies is not more than two years. There will no longer be an in-person pick-up and processing distribution process on campus.

If you do not want your fees deducted from your loan you must pay by one of the other methods by August 31. Please note that if you pay by another method after this date, your tuition will still be deducted from your loan and your other payment will be refunded.

If you are a student at Memorial University receiving a student loan from a province other than Newfoundland and Labrador, you can finalize necessary documents and pick up your loan at the University Centre, UC 4018. Contact Cheryl Peckham, telephone number 709 864 3536 or 709 864 6168. Students from the United States who are interested in applying for U.S. Student Aid should contact the International Scholarships Co-ordinator at 709 864 7910, University Centre, UC4016. 

Remember, students with outstanding fees after September 5, 2012 will be assessed a late payment penalty.
