Starting Winter Session 2021, the registration deposit has been removed from most undergraduate degree programs for continuing undergraduate students. The registration deposit is still required for most certificates and diplomas for continuing students.
If you are required to pay a registration deposit, you will see your deposit in your Student Service Centre (SSC) under “Pay Fees”, once your registration date has been released.
You will need to pay it before your registration date. It may take a day or two for your payment to be processed, depending on how you paid.
