Deposits

Registration Deposit – FALL SEMESTER ONLY, Undergraduate and Diploma Students Only

In order to ensure retention of the courses you select or to be able to add and drop courses for the registering semester, all undergraduate and diploma students are required to pay a minimum, non-refundable registration deposit of $200 by the registration deposit deadline. Your registration deposit will be applied to your student account. All outstanding balances from previous semesters must be paid first or the $200 will be applied to the outstanding balance and will not be considered as a registration deposit. Please review your account on WebAdvisor and consult the preferred payment methods for the registration deposit.

Failure to pay the registration deposit will result in:

  1. Blocked access to course selection for the registering semester.
  2. De-registration (the removal of courses as a result of not meeting payment requirements and deadlines), which will free up spaces in those courses that other students can then select.

Please note: All students must pay the $200 deposit by the registration deadline, regardless of funding sources (e.g., OSAP, bursaries or scholarships).

International Deposit - NEW International Undergraduate and Diploma Students Only

To further show your commitment to attending the University of Guelph, new international undergraduate and diploma students are required to pay a non-refundable tuition deposit of $1,000 CAD by the deadline indicated on the Dates & Deadlines page. This deposit is only required for your first semester, whether that be the fall, winter or summer semester. Please consult the preferred payment methods for paying your deposit. This deposit is not an additional fee – it will be applied to your tuition balance.
