Your York student account online serves as a central account where you can see all your fees charged and payments made. Statements are published around the 18th of every month and show minimum payments due dates and any payments you have made since the last statement was issued. Please note that statements are not updated to reflect recent payments – these payments will be posted in the “View All Transactions” tab and will be reflected in the upcoming statement.
It is your responsibility to check your student account regularly for any changes or fees owing, even if you receive OSAP funds.
View Your Student Account
- Student Account Online Statements are posted on the Web on the 18th of each month (subject to change). You will need your Passport York ID to access your personal online student account.
- Payment is due the 10th of the following month, e.g. statements posted April 18th would have a due date for payment of May 10th (subject to change).
- Please keep in mind that it can take a while for your payment to be posted on your Student Online Account. Up to 3 business days for Canadian bank account payments and up to 3 weeks for non-Canadian banks.
- Transactions made after the statement date (e.g. adds, drops, payments) can also be viewed on the Web on your Student Account Online Statement; click on “View All Transactions”.
- Since your enrollment deposit is part of your tuition, it will not appear separately on your student account statement.
- It is your responsibility to view your current account status or recent statement and to pay outstanding amounts on your account.
- For an explanation of terms used on your student account statement, read the information on the Understanding Your Monthly Statement tab below.
Some of the terms used in the Student Account Online Statement might be unfamiliar to you; below you will find a few of the more commonly used terms.
- Previous Statement Date – this is the date your last statement was run.
- Previous Balance – this is the balance shown on your last statement.
- Amount Due on Last Statement – this is the amount which had to be paid from the last statement to avoid late charges.
- Payments Received – this is a total of all payments made to your account since the last statement was issued.
- Present Balance – this is the total outstanding balance. This amount may include charges which do not begin until another term (but that you have already enrolled for) and for fees which are not due now, i.e. fees for courses which begin in January are not due until January 10; however, you may pay these charges in advance if you wish.
- Minimum Payment Due This Month – this amount must be paid by the “Payment Due By” date to avoid late charges. If the amount shown is zero, no payment is due on that date.
- Payment Due By – payment must be made by this date in order to avoid interest charges. Payments are currently due by the 10th of the following month; if the full amount is not paid by the due date, an interest charge will be added to the account.

The university does not accept payments in person – all payments are made through your bank or financial institution.
It is the student’s responsibility to make sure their account is in good standing, regardless of third party arrangements (i.e., financial support from parents, company payments, etc.). Although we are happy to answer your questions, we can only give account specific information to the student. The student is free to give out their student number to the person making payments.
You can pay through your financial institution by telephone or online banking:
- Pay a bill
- The payee is York University
- The account number is your nine-digit York student number on your statement
To pay for a School of Continuing Studies program, visit continue.yorku.ca and click the Enrol button on the relevant program page.

York University has partnered with two providers (CIBC and Western Union Business Solutions) who offer secure online portals for International Students to make payments for course/program fees, residence, health care and UHIP charges appearing on their Student Account Online Statement.
These portals provide the following benefits:
- Easily make payments in your preferred currency;
- Access competitive foreign exchange rates;
- Multiple payment options; and
- Student support is provided by the service provider.
Feel free to compare both payment options and rates, and choose the best one that meets your needs.
CIBC International Student Pay
If you are using RESP funds to pay your course fees, you may be asked by your RESP provider to provide a Verification of Enrolment and Registration Letter in order to access these funds. Once you have paid your registration deposit you will be able to download this letter through the Request a Letter page.
OSAP will automatically send a certain amount of your funding directly to the school to help pay down your tuition fees. OSAP payments will appear on the transactions tab as “Student Loan Payment”. Students are still responsible for paying their accounts in full. This means making sure the amount of aid directed to the university covers all of the fees due, and, in the case it does not, to make any additional payments to cover the remaining unpaid balance. Failure to pay the fees in full will result in interest fees. Please visit our Payment Due Dates page for more information.
Interest and Penalties
If you cannot pay by the due date, you must make regular monthly payments to reduce your balance as quickly as possible.
If you expect difficulty meeting your financial obligations, then immediately contact:
- Student Support and Advising if you are in a program at our Keele or Markham campuses
- Glendon Student Financial Services if you are in a program at our Glendon campus
A 1.09% Interest, per month, is charged to your balance owing that have not yet been paid by the due date. Log into My Student Account to ensure you are aware of your payment due dates and amounts owing. Interest is compounded monthly for an annual interest rate of 13% and will not be reversed upon request.
If you are an OSAP applicant, please ensure you complete your OSAP application with all supporting documents by the deadline. By doing so, interest will not be charged for the months of September, January or May if you are waiting for your OSAP funding to be received.
This means that you will be blocked from adding new courses, changing sections, or exchanging one course for another. However, you will still be able to drop courses. You will also be blocked from requesting a transcript, and will not be able to receive your diploma upon graduating.
In order to remove the financial hold, you must make a payment to reduce your amount owing to less than $1,500 for domestic students, or $3,500 for international students. Your hold will be automatically lifted the day after your payment appears on your Student Account.
If you are unable to reduce your balance under the specific threshold, please complete the Debt Repayment Application (DRA) Form. The university expects students submitting a DRA to make an upfront payment of 50% of their current balance.
If your bank returns your payment for any reason, such as insufficient funds in your account, you are subject to a non-refundable $50 charge and may be de-enrolled.
