Tuition Deadlines and Student Loans
For the Winter term, tuition is due September 7, 2011. For those of you who have applied for student loans, you will receive a package from StudentAid BC. You do not need to confirm registration, as it will be pre-authorized by UBC.
Make sure to send your Master Loan Agreement back through a designated Canada Post outlet, such as the one at The Outpost in the UBC Student Union Building (SUB). You can also find a designated Canada Post outlet at http://www.canlearn.ca/eng/onlinetools/canadapost/postal_outlet.shtml?lookup=Vancouver&lang=e&results=. Remember to bring your SIN card, government issued picture ID, and a void cheque.
Student loan funds should be disbursed on September 6, the first day of school, provided you have submitted your paperwork. This may seem alarming with the September 7th deadline rapidly approaching, especially for those of you who are coming from out-of-province. However, you can have your tuition deferred until later in September. For more information about deferment, check out: http://www.students.ubc.ca/coursesreg/tuition-fees-deposits/deferments-refunds/tuition-fee-deferments/. Please note that this deferment does not include your registration deposit. You will still need to pay this accordingly.
Paying Tuition (All at Once!)
For many of you, your daily transaction/spending limit will be too low to pay your tuition in one lump sum. However, you need only take a trip to your local bank branch to overcome this issue, and move all the necessary funds into your UBC account. If you do have a high enough limit, you can make your tuition payment at www.students.ubc.ca/ssc, with either electronic fund transfers (EFT) or debit card. Alternatively, you can do it in person at the Information Centre in Brock Hall. It should be noted that international students can still pay tuition by credit card.
