COVID-19 FINANCIAL SUPPORTS

We understand that many of you are facing financial difficulties as a result of COVID-19, and we would like to assist you as much as we can. There are a variety of supports in place to assist you during these unexpected times.

Support Through Laurier

Student Registration

Given the impact to students of COVID-19, the university has reviewed its policy on financial holds. For the 2020/2021 fall and winter terms, students whose account balance is less than $1,000 will have their financial hold lifted from July 20, 2020 until October 2, 2020 in order to register in courses.

The account balance will be carried forward and added to the 2020/2021 academic year’s fees. Please note that overdue fees and fees for fall term are due September 10, 2020 and that monthly late payment fees of 1.25% will resume in September 2020 and accrue monthly until the account balance has been paid in full.

Late registration fees for Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 terms will not be charged.

Laurier COVID-19 Emergency Fund

The existing funding application form is closed.

We will share information with students about future financial supports when it becomes available. Students who applied for funding have been contacted.
