The first fee due date for each term typically happens during the first week of the start of term. Specific dates can be found in our academic calendar.
Monthly late payment penalties of 1.25% will be assessed on all unpaid balances after the due date.
Please note that payments made after December 20 may not be received on accounts until the University reopens on January 3. Financial holds will not be removed until payments have been processed.
Your tuition invoice will appear online on LORIS. Look under the Student Services tab and select "View Student Invoice." We will send you an email when new invoices are posted.
You have the opportunity to set up proxy users to have access to your account information, and to also receive these reminders. This is great if you have someone paying your fees on your behalf!
Fall term tuition fees are assessed in late July and early August, so adding or dropping courses may change the amount due. Winter term fees are assessed and invoiced in late November. Check your account status on LORIS at any time after the assessment date. The full amount should be paid by the due date to avoid paying late fees.
Payment is made through your financial institution directly - Online Banking or Direct Banking (telephone, at the branch, etc.).
For Online banking just log onto your financial institutions online banking site, and set up Wilfrid Laurier University as a payee. The account number is your student ID number. We do encourage you to make payments at least three days in advance of a fee due date to ensure your payment makes it on time!
Use LORIS > Student Services > Student Account Summary to confirm when your payment has been received and applied to your account

To obtain funds from your Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), you must be enrolled full-time in a qualifying postsecondary degree program. Your financial institution may require proof of your enrolment at Laurier before they will release your funds.
Information that may be required by your financial institution includes:
Some financial institutions will require a copy of your invoice, or proof of enrolment. Each financial institution sets their own policies regarding information required to withdraw money from an RESP fund. 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.
For information about paying your tuition fees with Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), see our OSAP information page.
For information about paying your tuition fees through a third-party sponsorship, please see the Sponsorship information page.
Note: We do not accept any of the following payments/methods: Cash, credit card payments, cheque payments, BitCoin, third-party services (such as Plastiq, Western Union, FlyWire, etc.), other payments made outside of the outlined accepted payment options above.
Please ensure payments are made through Laurier approved payment options to avoid delays and/or possible holds and late fees.
