As you are likely aware, the university will no longer accept tuition fee payment by credit card as of August 31, 2009. (You have until friday)
We recognize that credit card payment was a very convenient way for many students to pay for their tuition and this change might pose some challenges for some students. However, we assure you that there are a number of options available to ensure that no student will be forced to abandon their studies due to this inconvenience.
These options include:
Online banking
Payment by mail
Telephone banking
Direct transfer of funds
Payment in person by cheque or bank card at the Birks Student Service Centre S-LB-185
Paying by the September 30th deadline is advisable, since there will be a $75 fee charged for late payment after that date. In most cases, however, the cost of the late fee and monthly interest rate is still significantly lower than the costs of carrying an outstanding balance on a credit card.
Many financial institutions also have student lines of credit with interest rates significantly lower than those charged on credit card which might be worth considering, and for your convenience, some will have representatives on campus you can talk to.
No student should consider dropping out of university due to the change in our credit card policy.
