    Changes to the Undergraduate Enrolment Deposit ISCUS 09-30
    DATE
    For information:
    Acting under delegated authority at its meeting of April 2, 2009, SCUS
    approved the following curriculum revisions:
    1. Changes to the Undergraduate Enrolment Deposit (SCUS 09-301
    The elimination of the registration deposit.
    Rationale
    The enrolment deposit of $100 per term is applied to tuition, and will ultimately
    be collected by the University. As well, the enrolment deposit is fully
    refundable, and the system will automatically apply it to future semesters if a
    student does not register (or if the student withdraws from a semester while still
    eligible for a 100% refund). Many students want or need receipts for their
    payments, which are not currently available online; this means that the deposit is
    essentially a transactional item of no ultimate benefit to the University, and
    causes line-ups and delays at the Front Counters of all three campuses.
    Secretary's Note:
    Incomplete information pertaining to the elimination of the enrolment deposit was presented to Senate. The
    information presented to Senate should have included both undergraduate and graduate students. This paper
    has been revised to include the information pertaining to graduate students.

    I
    Registrar and Student Enrolment Services and the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies are
    proposing to remove the enrolment deposit for continuing students. In the place of the enrolment
    deposit, students would be required to have a non-negative balance in their account, prior to
    being released to the registration system.
    Motion:
    "that the elimination of the enrolment deposit dated April 23, 2009 be approved for
    implementation in the 2009 Fall semester."
    Rationale
    The enrolment deposit of $100 per term is applied to tuition, and will ultimately be collected by
    the University. As well, the enrolment deposit is fully refundable, and the system will
    automatically apply it to future semesters if a student does not register (or if the student withdraws
    from a semester while still eligible for a 100% refund). Many students want or need receipts for
    their payments, which are not currently available online; this means that the deposit is essentially a
    transactional item of no ultimate benefit to the University, and causes line-ups and delays at the
    Front Counters of
    all
    three campuses.
    rent Calendar Entries
    Payment of the Enrolment Deposit for Continuing Students
    Continuing students enrolling for their second or subsequent term are required to pay an
    enrolment deposit of $100. Payment must be received and posted to the student account before a
    student will be given access to the enrolment system to select courses. Students must pay the
    enrolment deposit at least five working days prior to attempting to enrol in classes.
    The deposit will be applied to the cost of tuition. The deposit is not an additional fee.
    Payment of the deposit is considered by the University to be a commitment by a student to
    attend the term.
    Payment of the deposit cannot be deferred. Students eligible for any awards or sponsorships will
    receive a refund from Student Services when the appropriate units are received and processed.

    Students who are eligible for tuition fee waivers or holders of Faculty of Education tuition fee
    certificates (school associate certificates) must submit to Student Services the properly completed
    forms and payment for the total amount of the student activity fee, athletic fee, UPass (if
    applicable), and student services fee each term no later than the tuition and fee payment deadline.
    (Graduate)
    Time of Payment
    In order to enrol, students must have a credit balance of at least $100 in their accounts. Students
    must be enrolled for the term before any payment of graduate awards can be made in that term. A
    student applying for Canada student loans should make arrangements to pay fees from other
    sources, as loans cannot be authorized until the student is officially enrolled.
    See "Payment of Fees" on page 39 for a description of various payment methods.
    Revised Calendar Entry
    In the forthcoming calendar, the Graduate Studies section on fees refers to the Undergraduate
    Studies section. The below paragraph will replace the current one in the Undergraduate Studies
    section.
    Outstanding Accounts
    Students are required to pay any outstanding balance in their account to be eligible to enrol in
    classes. In order to ensure sufficient time for payments to clear, students should pay the balance of
    these accounts five working days prior to attempting to enrol in classes.

    Elimination of the Continuing Undergraduate Registration Deposit
