Continuing York students are not required to pay a registration deposit.

Domestic Students:

For new domestic undergraduate students, a $300 deposit must be paid after you begin enrolling in courses.

A registration deposit is required only once, for the very first academic session in which you enrol in courses. Since the deposit is part of your tuition, it will not appear as a separate charge on your student account statement.

The tables below indicate the reigstration depost due dates according to your first date of enrolment in a course.

If you enrol for fall or full-year courses:	You must pay your deposit no later than:
before June 1	June 15
June 1 – June 30	July 15

August 1 or later	10 days after you enrol in your first course

Paying the Deposit

Payment must be made through telephone or online banking. For more information see Paying Your Fees.
If you miss your deposit payment deadline, you will not be permitted to enrol in additional courses through the Registration and Enrolment Module and will be de-enrolled from courses you’ve registered for.
When you make late payments, your enrolment access cannot be opened until the day after the payment is received; please plan accordingly. To get more information, check your Student Accounnt Online Satement. If you wish to drop one or more of your courses, you must officially drop the course(s) using the online Registration and Enrolment Module; otherwise, you may lose all or part of the tuition you paid for the course, as per the Refund Table. Simply not attending classes does not release you from the financial or academic obligation for courses in which you have previously enrolled.

Unlock Tools and Services

Paying your deposit unlocks a variety of student tools and services that will help you prepare for and continue with your studies.

Tools that you will be able to access once your deposit is received include:

Receiving financial aid, including OSAP funds, the Ontario Tuition Grant, and funds received through the Student Financial Profile application.
Request a Letter to confirm your registration for the release of external funds like RESPs, for inclusion in private health insurance plans, or for visa or immigration purposes
Moodle access to view online coursework

Payment of your deposit will also unlock access to these student services:

Sport and recreation facilities
Libraries
Parking permits
Some YU-Card services
Student housing and meal plans
Enrolment in the York Federation of Students Health and Dental Plan

Avoid De-enrolment

If you do not pay your deposit by the due date (and are not eligible for an academic fee waiver*) you will be de-enrolled from your courses. Space in the courses will then be made available to other students.

Check the Registration and Enrolment Module to determine if you have been de-enrolled. If you have been removed from a course, you will need to pay your deposit to enable you to re-add the course. Note that there is no guarantee that space will still be available in any of your preferred courses after being de-enrolled.

Important Information

See Paying Your Fees for details on how to pay your deposit or other charges to your student account.
Payments from major Canadian banks may take up to 4 business days to be transferred from your bank to York. Payments from other financial institutions or other countries may take longer (up to three weeks). Please plan accordingly to avoid late charges or de-enrolment.
If you have been de-enrolled and the last date to add without permission has passed, you will have to contact the professor and the department offering the course for permission to enrol.

*For information about Academic Fee Waivers please visit the Waivers and Payments by a Third Party web page.

Important Note: For anyone making payments through Convera and CIBC, please be advised that all transactions to and from sanctioned and restricted jurisdictions have been suspended until further notice. If you are impacted by this service disruption, please get in touch with registrarial services. Any additional updates to this situation will be shared as soon as possible.

International Students:

After accepting your offer, international students are required to pay a $1500 non-refundable acceptance deposit. Whether or not you need a PAL to apply for a study permit, the $1500 acceptance deposit is required from all international students to maintain your offer. As a reminder, this non-refundable deposit is part of your tuition fee and will be credited to your student account.

Paying the Deposit:

If you live in Canada, we encourage you to set up a Canadian bank account.

Please make all fee payments payable to York University.

We partner with CIBC International Student Pay and Convera GlobalPay to offer secure online payment portals from your international bank to York University. Except for these two service providers, we discourage you from using any third-party intermediaries or agents to make payments.

Never send money or account information to any third party you do not trust!

If you require a refund in the future, payments originally paid from your bank account through these portals will be returned in the same form of payment to the same originating bank account.

Compare their payment options and rates and choose whichever best meets your needs.
