Almost all charges from all departments at the university, including Housing and Residence Life, will be charged to your student account at the Bursary. When standard charges for your housing are placed on your account, these are due on the same schedule as tuition. Any additional unexpected fees that are charged for your housing, such as damages or lost keys, will also place a "hold" on your student account. A hold on your account prevents you from graduation, registering for classes, or obtaining official transcripts from the university. A hold is removed once these charges are paid in full. For information about the tuition payment schedule, penalties for late payment, or other questions regarding other departmental charges, please refer to the university's Bursary.
