Persons over 65

Students registered in University of Toronto Undergraduate Arts and Science programs who are 65 years of age or older are eligible for an exemption of compulsory non-academic incidental fees. Contact your Registrar’s Office to arrange for the exemption of incidental fees before following the steps below to complete your registration.

In addition, bursary funds for senior citizens may be available upon request. Contact your Registrar’s Office for bursary information.

If you are a student 65 years of age or over who plans to register for the summer session, follow these steps to complete your registration by the Minimum Payment to Register Deadline:

1. If you plan to register in an Undergraduate Arts and Science program, request an exemption of compulsory non-academic incidental fees in person at your Registrar’s Office. Otherwise proceed to the next step.

2. Pay the Minimum Payment to Register amount on your ACORN invoice at your bank by the Minimum Payment to Register deadline. Plan sufficient time for your bank to transfer the funds to the University by the Minimum Payment to Register deadline, otherwise you may have to show proof of payment in person at the Registrar’s Office or SGS Student Services Office to complete your registration and you may be charged a late registration fee.

The transfer of funds from major Canadian financial institutions normally takes three to five business days, however the transfer from Canadian credit unions and financial institutions from outside Canada can take much longer.

3. The recording of the Minimum Payment to Register amount in your student account will change your status from “INVIT”(invited to register) to “REG”(registered) on ACORN. You need to confirm that the status has changed and report any problems to your undergraduate registration office.

If you are a student 65 years of age or over, pay your outstanding fees by the following due dates:

1. Residence payments cannot be deferred (delayed). Your residence handbook or occupancy agreement lists the payment due dates.

2. Payment Deadline for Unpaid Summer Session Tuition & Non-Tuition fees is due by June 15. You should pay by May 31. This allows up to 10 business days for recording the fee payment in the ACORN account by the monthly service charge billing date for Unpaid Fall term Tuition & Non-Tuition fees. Monthly service charges at a rate of 1.5% compounded (19.56% per annum) will be applied against the outstanding student account balance beginning June 15th and on the 15th of every month thereafter until the account is paid in full.

3. If you do not make full payment of Summer session fees by August 31st, you will NOT be eligible to register for the Fall-Winter session.
    Note for U of T Scarborough students: Your deadline for the full payment of summer session fees is August 26th.

If payment is made at the bank after the Minimum Payment to Register deadline, you must show proof of payment in person at the Registrar's Office, or courses will be cancelled and you may be charged a late registration fee.
