All fees (tuition and compulsory fees) for a semester are due and payable on or before the date scheduled for registration for that semester. 

Provisional registration may be granted to students who make arrangements with the Associate Registrar, Student Financial Services (SFS) (https://www.guelphhumber.ca/sfs/forms) to defer payment of their account. Deferred payment normally will be granted only to students who can show proof of financial assistance from the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) or other awards which can be confirmed by the University and are not on hand at the commencement of classes through no fault of the student. Deadline dates that are not included in the official Schedule of Dates will be posted to the University website and registered students will be emailed this information to their University email address.

Students receiving financial assistance through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) should apply for OSAP at least two months in advance of the first class day of each semester (or earlier if possible), in order that the application can be processed in time to have funds available by the semester payment deadline. 

Students who have not made payment, or suitable arrangements for payment, of their University account by the semester payment deadline will be placed on academic sanction. Academic sanction will prevent one or more of the following:

1. release of semester examination results
2. release of transcripts
3. granting of a degree or diploma
4. registration for a subsequent semester
