Fee Assessment

Student Accounts adjusts Education Fees, Mandatory Fees, and Other Fees for course changes that students make on or before Census Day of each term. After Census Day, Student Accounts sends amended invoices only to those students whose fees are affected by their course changes. Students are responsible for ensuring that their fees are paid by the published deadlines.

Continuing Education university and UCEP programs are the only exceptions to the above information; students registered in those programs should contact Student Accounts regarding the adjustment dates for their Education Fees.

Refer to the Academic Schedule, section 2.0 in the Calendar, for Census Day dates and fee payment deadlines.

Payment of Fees

Return to top

Fee Payment Deadlines

All fees are due the first day of class. However, students may pay semester fees by the deadline for that semester without a carrying charge. Fee payment deadlines are published in section 2.0 in the Calendar, Academic Schedule.

Returning students whose outstanding accounts were previously sent to a collection agency must pay their outstanding accounts, collection costs, and applicable deposits before registration and their full tuition prior to the start of classes. Payments must be made by a secured method; personal cheques must be certified.

Return to top

Payment Methods

1. In person at Student Accounts by cash, cheque, bank draft, debit card, MasterCard, VISA, or American Express.
2. Concordia reserves the right to refuse payments made by cheque.
3. On line, in person, using ATM or telephone banking at most major banks and credit unions in Canada. Make sure to choose Concordia University College of Alberta (not Concordia University in Montreal). Reference your student ID number as your account number.
4. By fax [780-474-1933] when paying by MasterCard, VISA or American Express. Students should use the Credit Card Authorization form available at the Student Accounts office or www.concordia.ab.ca/pdf/printableforms/CreditCardAuthorization.pdf.
5. If you are a sponsored student, written documentation indicating your sponsorship must be received from your sponsoring agency prior to registration. Please provide a letter from your sponsor with the following information:
   1. the specific fees covered by your sponsor(i.e. tuition, books, etc.),
   2. the terms covered by your sponsor,
   3. the maximum dollar amount, if applicable,
   4. complete invoicing information including name of agency, address, phone number and contact name.
   Note: Refunds for sponsored students will be made directly to the sponsoring agency.
6. By student loan payments, according to the way the funds are disbursed. Payments are applied first toward the fees that students owe to Concordia. If the student loan payment does not cover fees in full for that study period, students are responsible for paying the outstanding fees by the published deadlines.
   1. Disbursements for the academic year
      1. Students who receive one disbursement have their fees for the full academic year deducted from the single payment.
      2. Students who receive two disbursements have their fees for the academic year deducted proportionately to the disbursement payments.
   2. Disbursements for one semester
      1. Students who receive one disbursement have their fees for that semester deducted from the single payment
   Note: It may take six to eight weeks for the government to process a government student loan application. Students should apply early to ensure that Concordia receives student loan funds by or before the fee payment deadlines published in the Academic Schedule, section 2.0 in the Calendar.

Unpaid Fees

Fees unpaid by the due date are subject to a carrying charge. Students who do not pay their fees by the due date remain indebted for their fees until payment is made. Non-payment of fees does not constitute the official discontinuation of studies at Concordia (section 4.3.3 in the Calendar, Discontinuing Studies).

Concordia withholds cheques, transcripts, statements of grades, and degrees from students with unpaid accounts or fines, restricts them from online services, and cancels or denies them from future registration. Unpaid accounts are sent to a collection agency for recovery and are reported to the Credit Bureau. Other restrictions may apply.

1. Carrying charge: 1.5% per month of outstanding balance (18% per annum)
2. Minimum carrying charge: $5.00
3. Dishonoured cheques: $20.00 service charge.

Return to top

Refunds and Reduction in Fees

Students are eligible for refunds or a reduction in fees if they:

1. do not sign their Confirmation Schedules before classes begin and Concordia cancels their registration.
2. officially discontinue all of their studies at Concordia by completing the required documentation through the Registrar's Office before the published deadlines.

Students who withdraw from a course after Census Day and remain registered in other courses at Concordia are ineligible for a reduction in fees.

Concordia reduces Education Fees on a pro-rata basis for students who are required to discontinue their studies because of unacceptable grades or conduct.

The deadlines for any refunds or reduction in fees are published by program in section 2.0 in the Calendar, Academic Schedule.

Cheques for a refund or reduction in fees are normally issued within four to six weeks.

Non-payment of fees and/or non-attendance do not constitute official withdrawal from Concordia.

Return to top

International Students

International student fees are indicated in the Fee Schedule, section 5.1. All fees are due the first day of class and must be paid in order to sign confirmation schedule for the semester. Students must contact Student Accounts at 780-479-9206 or by email studentaccts@concordia.ab.ca if payment is going to be delayed for any reason.

Except for a $400 deposit, Concordia refunds all fees to international students who are accepted and who officially withdraw by completing required documents through the Registrar's Office before entering Canada, provided they return both the original letter of acceptance and the original letter for immigration.

Concordia retains the International Student Fee from students who are already in Canada and who withdraw after registration and before classes begin.

International students who begin classes at Concordia and officially discontinue their studies by completing required documents through the Registrar's Office are eligible for refunds or fee reductions according to the published deadlines in section 2.0 in the Calendar, Academic Schedule.

Concordia notifies Citizenship and Immigration Canada of all withdrawals.

Student Residence

Residence contracts are for a full academic year (September to April). Annual Residence Fees are as follows:

First-time Residents
	Double Accommodation	3,050.00
	Single Accommodation	4,075.00

Residence students must also purchase a declining-balance card for their meals (it is recommended to purchase $1,600 in the fall to ensure the student has sufficient funds to purchase meals):
	Per semester (minimum - non-refundable)	1,350.00

Students applying for residence accommodation submit a University Residence Application, online at http://residence.concordia.ab.ca. Students who are conditionally accepted to residence submit a $500 security deposit to reserve their space. This deposit is refundable only if students remain in residence for the entire academic year, are not responsible for any damages to Concordia property, and have no outstanding residence fees.

After receiving final acceptance into residence, students are required to make a minimum payment of $300 against their residence fees prior to entering residence. This amount is only refundable if students withdraw their residence application prior to moving in.

Fifty percent (50%) of the balance of full-year residence fees must be paid by the deadline to pay fall semester fees, and the remaining 50% by the deadline to pay winter semester fees. Refer to the Academic Schedule, section 2.0, in the calendar for fee payment deadlines.

If a student withdraws from residence during the course of a semester Concordia retains the balance of that semester's residence fees and the $500 security deposit.

For further information, students are encouraged to contact the Residence Office by email at residence@concordia.ab.ca or telephone (780-479-9349).

Parking

Students pay for parking by daily permits obtained from coin-operated meters (Visa, MasterCard and American Express are also accepted) or by annual parking passes. Vehicles that do not display valid parking permits may be ticketed and towed.

Please note that annual parking passes are limited in number and usage, and are valid only during the academic year (August to April). Parking passes go on sale in mid-August and are usually sold out by the first week in September. Students are advised to contact the parking administrator as soon as possible to request parking space (a waiting list is maintained after all the passes have been sold). Several parking spaces are reserved for students with disabilities, who may arrange monthly parking permits through the office of the Dean of Student Affairs.

Students are expected to exercise caution when driving in parking areas, to respect all restrictions posted on the streets or in the parking lots, and to respect the property and the rights of neighbourhood residents.
