Find all you need to know about how to pay your tuition and fees, including:
The tuition due date for each term typically happens during the first week of the start of the term.
Make sure you pay your tuition and fees so that they are received and applied to your account by the due date to avoid late fees:
Monthly late payment penalties of 1.25% will be added on all unpaid balances after the due date.
Payment by online banking/direct banking through your financial institution is the preferred method.
To pay using this method:
We encourage you to make payments at least three days in advance of a fee due date to ensure your payment makes it on time.
Note: Laurier does not accept e-transfer payments.
To confirm we've received payment:
Laurier offers an international payment option through CIBC International Student Pay. Log on to the secure online portal to initiate a payment with your preferred method and currency from anywhere in the world at any time.
To make a payment:
If you choose bank wire payment, initiate the transfer by printing the payment instructions and reference code. You must bring this information to your local bank within 72 hours. Your bank will follow the instructions to complete the fund transfer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When submitting subsequent bankwire payments, it is important that you use the CIBC payment portal to initiate your payment each time to ensure that your payment is tracked and connected to your student account in order to be applied upon receipt. Bankwires where a payment is not initiated through the CIBC payment portal may not be identified and will be rejected and returned to the original sender.
Any/all fees as a result of unidentified/rejected payments will be the responsibility of the student and will not be eligible for reimbursement or late fee reversals.

To obtain funds from your Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), you must be enrolled full-time in a qualifying postsecondary degree program. Each financial institution sets their own policies regarding information required to withdraw money from an RESP fund.
Your financial institution may require proof of your enrolment at Laurier before they will release your funds, which includes:
Some financial institutions will require a copy of your invoice, or proof of enrolment.
Withdrawals from an RESP often require advance notice at the financial institution to ensure the funds are available before the term due date.
We recommend that all students contact their financial institution in advance of the fee due dates each term to confirm what information and documentation will be required to process their withdrawal.
Due dates each term cannot be extended to accommodate delays in the processing of an RESP withdrawal.
