U.S. Loan & Benefits Payments

• U.S Loan & Benefits Tuition Deferral (Register Without Payment)

  You are eligible for a tuition fee deferral (register without payment) if all of the conditions are satisfied:

  1. you have paid for prior session fees
  2. you have a confirmed U.S. Direct Loan notice of assessment, alternative/private loan certification or VA benefits certification from the University of Toronto of an amount greater than $0 for the current session. To begin this process, click on the links provided above.
  3. you applied for a tuition fee deferral prior to your division’s Fall-Winter session Pay or Defer to Register deadline or Summer session Pay or Defer to Register deadline.

  Request online deferral by logging into ACORN.

  • Click on the Student Loan/Fin. Aid button on the ‘Financial Accounts’ section on the ACORN. You will know immediately if your tuition fee deferral application is successful or not and the application will be noted in your activity log.
  • If your tuition fee deferral request is successful, ACORN will change your registration status from “Invited to Register” to “Registered”. Report registration status issues to your college or faculty registrar’s office.
  • If you encounter a problem with the online deferral function on ACORN, you can contact your college or faculty registrar’s office to request a manual tuition deferral.

  If you did not pay or defer prior to your division’s Fall-Winter session Pay or Defer to Register deadline or Summer session Pay or Defer to Register deadline and you are eligible for a U.S. Loan & Benefits deferral, immediately request a manual deferral from your college or faculty registrar’s office.
