Mohawk College is committed to providing students with access to the services and resources covered by ancillary fees. Mohawk and the Mohawk Students’ Association (MSA) continue to review fees to ensure that charges are equitable and support student success and wellness. Descriptions for each ancillary fee can be found on the Compulsory Ancillary Fees page.

Securing Your Seat for Registration

Tuition and fees are charged once per term. 

A tuition deposit is required once per academic year or when switching programs through OCAS. A deposit is an amount paid toward your total tuition and fees indicated on your fee statement or your account summary, not an additional amount. Domestic students pay the $250 non-refundable tuition deposit by the due date on your Fee Statement. A $150 deposit late fee will be charged after the due date listed on your Fee Statement (OSAP and non-OSAP students). 

Tuition payment options below apply to new and returning domestic students. 

Option 1: Pay the total balance by the deposit due date
Pay the total amount owing by the tuition deposit deadline indicated on your Fee Statement. Your payment will be applied to the balance due for the term when selecting your timetable to register. 
 

Option 2: Pay the minimum deposit by the deposit due date and the remainder of the balance at registration (before the tuition due date)

• Deposit payments are applied to the balance due when you register.  If your deposit was paid late, the late fee will be charged at registration.
• The balance of your fees (total fees, minus the paid deposit) can be paid in advance of registration, or, can be paid at registration when selecting your timetable.  Refer to the tuition due date on your Fee Statement, an additional late fee of $150.00 will be charged where applicable.  

Option 3: OSAP Students - Defer your payment
Your tuition deposit is not covered by OSAP however, you may defer the remaining balance of your fees owing if you have applied for and are eligible for OSAP. Your eligibility to defer fees will be presented to you at the time you click 'Submit to register'. If your student account is not set up for OSAP deferral you will not be able to defer your balance when you register to select your timetable.  Should you have any questions, you may contact Financial Assistance for OSAP support.
 

Option 4: External sponsorships
If your education is being funded by an employer or agency, please submit a letter from your sponsor with your fee statement to Accounting by the tuition deposit due date indicated on your Fee Statement. Your sponsor can send a sponsorship letter to Accounting by emailing arsponsors [at] mohawkcollege.ca (arsponsors[at]mohawkcollege[dot]ca). Receipt of your sponsorship letter by the tuition deposit deadline will secure your seat in your program and enable you to select your timetable to register. 

Better Jobs Ontario Applicants: You must submit your signed Ministry contract to arsponsors [at] mohawkcollege.ca (arsponsors[at]mohawkcollege[dot]ca) before timetable selection to register without paying a tuition deposit or balance owing. Your Better Jobs Ontario Application Consultant can contact arsponsors [at] mohawkcollege.ca (arsponsors[at]mohawkcollege[dot]ca) before the deposit due date to confirm your application is in progress and ensure your seat is held in the program without paying a deposit.  

If timetable selection opens before your contract has been submitted and you attempt to register you will be prompted to make a tuition deposit payment and pay the balance owing. Visit the Better Jobs Ontario website for more information about the program.

Your sponsor may not cover certain fees. Check with your sponsoring agency or institution. The student is responsible for any fees not covered by the sponsor.

NOTE:  Failure to make the required payments by the deposit and full payment deadline will result in late fees being applied to your account, which must be paid before registration.

We encourage all full-time students, both domestic and international, to submit the Scholarships and Bursaries Application every semester.  To learn more about selecting your timetable, please refer to the Registering for Classes by Selecting Your Timetable webpage.
